Judging from the fun of reading them, this series of books definitely deserves these five stars. This series has a big cast of main characters without confusing the reader due to them being gradually introduced, a few at a time, and all of them, protagonists and love interests alike are interesting and, what is especially important, very different characters. Obviously that means you don't relate to all of them alike but they are still very interesting and have some kind of relationship or other which makes us care about all of them, at least in connection to our personal favourites. The way the fairytales are incorporated, closely, more loosely or even subverted, is one of my favourite tropes very well-done. My only critique is that it is very heteronormative. With such a big cast you'd expect at least one person to not be hetero, but even the female representing android is into men and men only.
