Just finished Human Rites by Juno Dawson. Absolutely loved it. Five stars, hands down. I’m only sad that this particular story is over now! I hope she does more in the universe.

Highly recommend the whole trilogy (and the tie-in novella Queen B, although I didn’t love the characters as much in that one).

I’ve just finished reading Human Rites. Sometimes you finish reading a series and you can go on with life. Sometimes the series is fantastic, and you crave more, but the author has put a definitive cap on the plot and you know it will never continue. So I need a few days to grieve the end of my favourite book series. There are very few series I would recommend more than HMRC by Juno Dawson. If you’re looking for a series to get absorbed by, this is the one.
