It is mid. After the first arc, it becomes slow and has too many filler chapters.
Plus there is a lot of random cringe insertions within the Novel whether it is naming sense of characters or their actions or even author pointlessly self-inserting stuff in there. It is a shame, it started great but went downhill real fast after the first arc.
Still enjoyed book 2 better but only because of all the music references. Jax & Quinn’s story was every bit as delicious, with more laughs & less tears. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
