Despite being set in an alternate history, this book really felt like an extremely realistic depiction of everything going on with the left these days. It's pretty brutal and sad, honestly. I really wanted it to end on some utopian note, but it ends in an extremely probable way instead. Maybe that's more important.

I love this series, or at least the first 5 books I've read so far. Somehow it never takes itself too seriously, while simultaneously also being pretty heartwarming and dramatic at the same time. The premise plays out exactly as amusingly as you might imagine.

Ok, I can't finish this book... I hate to DNF stuff, and I won't rate/review books I haven't actually read fully, but I've lost all interest at this point. I was at the 40% mark.

I am determined to finish at least the first book, even though I hate it. Actually, maybe it's because I hate it. I don't like to rate or review books I haven't finished, but I feel compelled to talk about how terrible this book is. The author is a frequent offender on r/menwritingwomen, and for good reason. He claims all the misogyny (among other things) is intentional, because the story is "filtered through the mind & eyes of a 17 year old boy". That's a pretty dubious claim on its face, and it doesn't really explain why all the other characters do and say what they do. Maybe I'll flesh this out more when I finish it.
On the other hand, generally the writing itself is decent enough, even if it gets a little purple prose at times. Just watch the show, it's 1000% better than the source material.

EDIT: I finally finished it, which was not really worth doing. I think I would mostly describe this book as "Dresden Files but longer for no reason", except at least Harry is poor in that series. Q is equally as misogynistic and then incredibly wealthy to boot. Oh, and the author's justification turns out to fall extra flat because by the end of the book, he is very much not 17 anymore, but still very much an incel.
