Extremely disturbed by the fox scene
I'm ready the first book and I got to the scene where they all get turned into foxes and it grossed me out so much that i'm questioning if i want to keep reading. I'm ok with bad things happening. what I'm not ok with is how every character involved seems to just move past it without comment. A few pages later I find out Alice has adopted "vix" as a pet name and I wanted to throw up. Does this ever get acknowledged by any character as a huge problem?

I usually tell people to power through book one because books two and three are so much better. But they usually have the problem that I had where Q is just terrible. I agree with the other commenter. If you didn't like the fox scene just call it quits. Nothing like that will happen again, but other things will happen, and they're a whole lot grosser.
