4.0

 To be fair the whole series was well written. Worldbuilding, dialogue, and characters were well written (if not compelling people or places to return to). I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to reinforce the idea that prejudice is wrong and we are better off recognizing that all people, even those we "demonize" are people.
