kinda wish i had read these books as a kid but also thank GOD i didn’t cause they would have consumed my entire being…… i would have been begging my parents for a badass rapier and fencing lessons and buying a giant black trench coat to cosplay anthony lockwood 💀

is there a high likelihood i might still do that now that i have adult money and am obsessed with the show????? yeah

if you want a YA series with solid found family vibes, spooky ghosts, and unique worldbuilding where the government actively exploits children and puts them in imminent danger but it actually reckons with that instead of pretending everything is fine…. [cough] theseriesthatshallnotbenamed [cough]… you should check this out! 

minus one star for a lack of george/lucy friendship bonding moments cause those were some of my favorite bits from the show
