8/10. Great addition to the series. Continues to surprise me and pull at my heartstrings. Very much would like to see both sets of potential couples get together and be relatively happy for at least a little bit in the next book.

This is my favorite one so far. I love these characters with all my heart and I don't know what to do with my feelings tbh. Can't actually believe that this book is the same length as the second one. Because I flew through this one and was so surprised when it was over so quickly. Everything that I didn't like in book 2 was much much better now. I really liked the plot here again and oh my, there were so many tender and emotional scenes, with all of them together and in smaller constellations balanced out.  
The Adam/Ronan scenes? Woah, that surprised me! Because I didn't really have a connection to Ronan before... but seeing him through Adam's eyes gave me life! If we don't get more of this I will probably cry. I'm prepared to cry. I don't want this series to eeeeend!

It should have been impossible. No one should have been able to dream any of these thing, much less all of them. But Adam had seen what Ronan could do. He'd read the dreamt will and ridden in the dreamt Camaro and been terrified by the dreamt night terror.
It was possible that there were two gods in this church.

I'm pretty sure every review I've written for this series so far has included the term "I'm so confused" in it, but here we are again: I'm so confused. Okay, this book had a little more to run with, but I still can't help feeling like I have no idea what's actually going on.

My primary concern is that at the end of all the books so far, there's been this giant cliffhanger and then the next book touches on that element but casts aside a lot of the other big plot points (i.e. Gansey's imminent death, Blue's first kiss, and even Glendower - who is supposedly the primary reason any of these books are happening in the first place). It makes me worry that The Raven King won't actually wrap up the story and I'll be left feeling hollow and confused at the finale of the series. However... I'm not there quite yet.

I will say that I enjoyed the character development a lot in this book. Before this book, I hadn't really liked Ronan or Adam and I appreciated them a lot more in this one. I still love Gansey best. Blue is getting even more badass, which is great. 

Sooooo I guess I'll have to see what comes next.
