This series came out before the vampire craze in YA, and is highly underrated. There’s a little bit of good and bad in everyone.
It gets you thinking, to the point where you sometimes understand why even the villainous characters or unlikeable characters sometimes do what they do. It has compelling and well-rounded characters, and raises a lot of moral dilemma questions without doing it in a preachy way. Things get tied up pretty well, without loose ends. It has adventure, mystery, drama, humor, death, plot twists, and several characters return after not being seen for some time. I’ve gone through it twice, and would gladly go through it again. This was one of my favorite series in middle school and high school. While most people in my generation grew up with Harry Potter, I grew up with Cirque du Freak. I've got serious daddy issues i need to work on) The series could be nothing serious, nothing too special, but to me, it made my horrible days easier, it made my childhood, it made me stay up all night just to read, it got me into reading, it got me into fantasy world, and it also got me into dudes that are way older than me. I swear one day i will get a tattoo on me of this book, someday i find a good tattoo design but i mean, nothing can really show how much love i have in every fiber in my body, just for this book. I remembered every part and every little detail as well as all the emotions i was going through every time i've read it. And omg it was an emotional rollercoaster. I sat down to reread the whole series and i finshed it. I was scrolling down on my goodreads books and i remembered them :'[ every single one of 'em. (I could cry right now if i think about it and im 20 years old.so you know when i say it's my baby i mean it) I've read these series for like eleven twelve times, each book twelve times! I can't even imagine how much time i spent on rereading only the parts that made me cry. He was my first crush and i couldn't stop thinking about him for years and i even got a boyfriend with light brown hair bc i wanted to pretend he was larten. I cried with every single book, i cried with darren and steve, and i fell in love with larten. Some dude translated it, and looking back, it was terrible) I would just lay down, i ate nothing, i drank nothing and i only had my very limited english knowledge at the time with a very poor translated version of the books (it wasn't published or translated or anything yet. Me hitting puberty and depression hitting me back so hard that i couldn't move or get out of my bed for days. It's a baby that grow old with me, It helped through my hardest time during teenage years. I don't care what anyone's says really, this series is a sweetheart for me.
