  I have followed this series since the 5th chapter of the book one. Thus, I thought it high time to show my support by reviewing this. Keep in mind that though I am a fan, I am writing this review being as honest as possible. Please don't get discouraged if I end up writing something harsh.

  The writing style isn't anything special. It goes from one POV to the next nicely and uses simple sentences. This is what makes it special. The understated sentence structure complements the seriousness of the story nicely. The fact that it is so simple and yet manages to make the impact that it does.
  Now, onto the part I feel is a little bad. There have been times when the POV flow isn't so good. I have to guess which character's POV it's in. While you may counter-argue that this means I am not into the story much but it also means this story is hard to follow for people who are reading it for the first time and aren't loyal followers. The people who like to skim the story before deciding to continue on with it will have problems here.
  Another thing is, it would be better for you to stick to simple sentences as whenever you use too complex a sentence, it becomes confusing. An example would be the first sentence of "Chapter six, 2016, three schools, part three." When I first read that sentence I was confused as to who is interacting whim whom and felt 'what just happened?'. I re-read it twice before I read forward in a confused state of mind. It was some paragraphs below when I read about the character encountering the other two MC's fighting did it ring a bell, and made me remember the previous chapter's ending and the opening scenario.
  That's another thing. The opening scenario for each chapter. Sometimes they are so disjoint from previous chapters ending that I end up getting off-track from the story flow. At this point, let me tell you that each chapter of the story has a very nice flow. Very few people manage that so well done. But when the chapter changes to the ne
