It's fall and school is starting again, but for Blue and the Raven Boys nothing normal. Blue's mother is still missing, the new Aglionby Latin teacher is Mr. Gray's old boss (and the man who ordered Niall Lynch's death), and the search for Glendower continues.
I was so excited to read this book after finishing the first two in The Raven Cycle series, and while I enjoyed it, in my opinion it wasn't as good as The Raven Boys or The Dream Thieves. While the other two books were dark, this one felt darker, and I didn't like the additions of Colin and Piper Greenmantle. On the other hand, I loved getting to meet Professor Malory and Jesse Dittley. I loved the tension and yearning between Blue and Gansey in this book, and there were several other scenes I liked (Adam's court scene!!), but overall I was a bit disappointed and I really hope The Raven King is better!
Happy ending meter (no specific spoilers, just my judgement of how happy the ending is because I always wish someone would tell me that before I read books):Generally happy, but also a bit of a cliffhanger. Good thing I already got the next book from the library!
