The events in this series, at its core, are pretty horrific. But the presentation is so over the top, due to the events happening within a reality TV show and the purpose is to drive viewership, that you don’t always see or feel the horror that is there. But you sense it, and as characters develop and their relationships with each other develop, the good and the bad that occurs drive strong emotional reactions for the reader.
I’ve laughed and I’ve cried (both joyfully and sorrowfully) so many times during this series, but this specific volume contains some of the best, most hopeful moments, and some of the worst, most desperate moments.
