Book #1
Lots of setup, but enjoyable. Loved the bears. Some pretty big set pieces that mostly paid off.

Book #2
Really intense. Some good twists. I have no idea where it going and I'm excited to find out!

Book #3
Very different vibe than the earlier books. A lot more romantic and philosophical. I still enjoyed it and thought it had some good takes on growing up and love, but it sort of sidelined its main story in a weird way. Also, the writing was pretty hammy at parts.
