I've just finished reading the last of the books, and I'm pretty excited to see what they do with the series.

If you're worried about the cost, have you looked into getting it through your library? That's how I did it.

Yeah there's a few ways they could be acquired. I don't do Amazon or Kindle but they appear to be on Kindle Unlimited. They've also apparently been sent out for free a few times. I feel like it puts a bad taste in my mouth either way; even if I could sidestep the cost, by reading them it would still be supporting the books and therefore the gouging of others, in an indirect sense.

I don't think they're all on KU. I ended up reading them all as ebooks through the library. Had to wait for a couple of them, so just read other stuff in between.

The first 6 are on KU but not the most recent. I just added the first one to my reading queue.

It's a pretty fun read, I hope you enjoy it.
