Because I didn’t like to DNF back then and I was also waiting for the series to get better as all the fans promised

I read the first three books, and then a few chapters from the novella.

Don’t bother continuing. It does not get better at all. The plot is really predictable, the worldbuilding is plain, the characters are all immature af despite supposedly being hundreds of years old, and the writing is straight up bad.

In my opinion, many authors of popular booktok books suffer from lack of good editors, and SJM is no exception. I don’t recommend wasting your time reading the series if you don’t like it.
