There is something about these books I really love. In some ways they're simple fun, an exciting gangster story with lots of big, dramatic moments. Yet there are complex themes of big societal change happening in real, difficult ways. The characters feel real and flawed. The worldbuilding sometimes feels a bit forced (too many times, just like in the first book, some concept is mentioned and then explained in detail), but often works wonderfully. Very eager to start the final book!
