There was a lot more depth to the story and the characters than I expected. 

I had initially thought the story would be from Lockwoods POV but it was from Lucy's. She's a great character but I found myself really intrigued by Lockwood and his history. I am very curious to learn (hopefully) more about him. 

I'm glad that I bought the whole series, looking forward to reading more of their adventures.
