No idea how the second-person thing works as well as it does, and I've stopped asking. Tore through it, bought the next two immediately, have not opened either of them (they're in the tower by the door).

Second person threw me. Got over it. The ending, though.

Eight. Properly grim and never once edgy about it. Opens by telling you the world's ending and then makes you care about a schoolteacher anyway — how? Second person did my head in for fifty pages and then I stopped noticing it entirely.
