"but what she didn't realise about blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another" 

dream thieves lost points for the anger and destruction, blue lily gains them back with its focus on the building relationships between the main cast

adam and ronan's dynamic really begins to change in this volume, blue and gansey falling deeper into one another

even blue and ronan taking time to understand one another, adam repairing his bond with gansey 

there is a lot of tension in blue lily, and although the ending felt a little rushed, it left me needing to pick up the final book asap!

This series is so captivating and interesting and stunning to read.  Seeing all the character development was amazing, it’s a very nice balance between characters and plot.  The humor was amazing and the overall writing is so lovely to read.  I really liked seeing Ronan and Blue have more of a friendship (though I don’t think either of them would admit it) seeing them be stubborn or them saying something the other’s wouldn’t dare say—very fun to read.  It was also nice to see Adam working on letting people help him without him thinking it was because of where—or how—he grew up.  He started to see that his friends just wanted to be there for him and it was just written so nicely.

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.
