oh weird, I liked the darker tones of 567

I have since tried to read the 6th book, listen to the audiobook version or watch the movie multiple times and couldn’t manage to get through it even once. It just sucks.

I think the main issue for me is the genre switch between 1-4 and 5-7.

for me that coincided right about when my voice dropped and I started wearing darker clothes, so that shift was on point for me

I grew up reading the books as they came out, and where I had read (or had my mom read to me when I was too young to read them myself) the first 3 books repeatedly, I definitely aged out by the time 6&7 were released. I think I read 6 once and I couldn’t even finish 7.
I also noped out of the films after the spider in 2 (holy crap I was way too young to be seeing that film btw!)
