So far, this is the best of the series. I finally feel like I'm sinking into the story and characters. Not a superfan like others, but I'm enjoying it.

Moderate: Grief, Murder, Animal death, Cursing, Injury/Injury detail, Toxic relationship, Blood, and Confinement

Minor: Domestic abuse

Also contains: ghosts, spirits, and necromancy; possession (of a bird and a spirit); allusions to child sexual assault/pedophilia and child murder (these are only vaguely implied and part of a plot to

frame somebody for these crimes, but they did not commit them.

); the toxic relationship seems mutual and fulfilling to some end for both parties. There is no physical violence between them; The references to domestic abuse are short and happen in the scene where

Adam’s father comes to intimidate Adam into withdrawing his charges against him.

No domestic abuse actually happens.

"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!

Stiefvater has gotten her groove back (at least in my eyes)! I love the amount of Blue-Gansey content. I also felt that the plot was more concise, and everything was tied together. I am heading into the final installment happy to be continuing and sad to be near the end.

The beginning is super slow and then the ending feels way too fast. Adam in particular has great character development. The plot of this one isn't super great but the character interactions are wonderful.

It's definitely better than the second book and the plot is moving, though I think this should have been the second book.

The characters were okay, but some of their povs their the most annoying thing ever and they're thinking the same thing over and over again while barely anything is happening.

I remember after reading a first book I was so excited and thinking that everything is just quiet before the storm but it's been three books and no storm...
