In all honesty I suppose I can't really defend some of those points on the basis of the first book as standalone, because I am a big fan of the ensuing series and that 'verse in general and, as I said, it gets more subtle and terrible and intricate and moving as the characters grow and face other challenges.

That being said I am still behind on the latest books, and oddly reluctant to acquire them and get updates on the characters and the wider world created, because I just had those first three as absolutely beloved and re-re-re-read beaten-up paperbacks as a teen that were pretty formative (you can find scribbles of self-insert fanfic in my old notebooks....); recent installations in the series I do enjoy very very much and appreciate the cleverness but there's certainly less immediate and utter taking-to-heart, as an adult, and the expanded world is not so familar and beloved to me (though arguably the recent books are better and less tropey fantasy/sci-fi for a first-time adult reader at this point).
