I actually liked the first book and the second book was ok but I couldn't even get through half the third book. I tried but it felt so cliched and forced I couldn't finish it.
I have so many issues with the first book though
the forced romance being one of them, the fact that the girl (TRISS right??? not tess lmao) had to become badass and amazing bc why else would there be a trilogy about her, and the fact that there were five factions and i could only find four of them kind of relevant?? and the whole of the second book... everything about this trilogy is so predictable i was just bored out of my mind the whole time
anyway i have read books i liked where the plot was... let's just say less than stellar. but at least it was well written. these books aren't imo - maybe it's your style, maybe you like it idk but i really couldn't stand it
But what did you like about the first book? Maybe I've forgotten things I actually did like because of the two other books
