Losing my mind at Ronan and Kavinsky. Toxic doomed yaoi...save me...

This is a strange book/series to review. I definitely enjoy them... but nowhere near as much as I would have expected. I am interested in the characters and the plot of the series enough to keep reading, but I am definitely not captivated by it the way I am with other series. All in all, this book, this series, is interesting (and I'm going to read [b:The Raven King|17378527|The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4)|Maggie Stiefvater|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1459349248s/17378527.jpg|24170172], but I just don't think that they're as fantastic as everyone says.

Oct 31, 2024: once again, letting my previous rating from 2019 stand as a relic of its time. This one had its exciting parts but still kinda dull overall (?). Would probably rate it 3-3.5 stars today.

This series is so atmospheric. Like Cabeswater itself, I feel a bit like I’m floating through time and plot but everything is kind of wobbly and sparkly. It’s a vibe. 

As a language nerd,
I wanted the language box to be more relevant.
As a Welsh learner, I want there to be Way more Welsh in this series.
