Yep! And I agree wholeheartedly, it is an excellent series.
I was disappointed that one of my best friends didn't feel the same way. She actually intensely disliked Todd's character, saying he had way too many flaws/was too whiny etc. And I was just sitting there like, "YES. BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM SO LIKABLE." It's one of the few series I've read where the main characters have believable flaws, that are actual flaws.
For example, being clumsy is a go-to for most novels. Or being a 'tomboy.' That isn't a flaw. That, my dear friend, is a personality quirk.
With flaws, you can see the character grow and become stronger, which is exactly what Todd does and OHMYFEELS.
