Alright, it took me a whole month to read this whole thing, let's see how well I remember what happened.
To be honest, I thought switching into the Gray Man's point of view was a waste of time for about half the book until he met Maura, and well I'm not saying the rest of that will be a spoiler. Don't make assumptions! You could be thinking something happened but really nothing happened.
Can I also just say that this book made me love Ronan even more. Like he's so good and so scary all at the same time. Sometimes I wish I could come across as scary as Ronan. He's like my new roll model.
Adam pretty much made me angry this whole book until him and Persephone helped out Ronan. I really just want him to be the Adam that was in The Raven Boys because I loved that Adam so much.
I also love that Gansey and Blue's relationship. Gansey calls her just for her to talk and to get his mind off things. Then Blue asks him to just talk and drive anywhere to get her mind off things. It's so cute and so heartbreaking.
I would say goals, but we all know what's going to happen eventually and that is not goals.
I gave this book a 4 star rating on Goodreads rather than a five star like the first book but I have a reason. This book really seemed like they were just hopping along and nothing was really happening. Like they were doing things but none of it felt like it was going anywhere.
Then - at like the 400th page - everything awkwardly fell into place and Ronan and Kavinsky fought and it was epic but not epic enough for me to be honest. Like, I wanted more to happen than that. Or for it just to last a bit longer.
Just something more.
Then the darn thing ends on a cliffhanger and no one even knows how we got to the dang cliffhanger.
Right now I feel like this book was kind of a mess, but I do intend on reading the next one very soon!
(I love that the Starbucks barista just crossed out my name and started again.)
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
