I resisted reading these books until I realized that my 13 year old granddaughter was reading them. I read all three in three days. I’m still digesting them and not sure how I feel about them. I can’t give a full assessment because it would involve spoilers. There are two or three plot twists that trouble me. I’m not sure its all about tyranny and fighting centralized government. It’s more subtle than that.
The first book’s movie is currently on Netflicks if anyone wants to see the first movie before going to see the 2nd one.

Regardless of your feelings about the book, kudos to you for checking up on what your granddaughter is into. I like that kind of grand parenting!
