Why does the author hate short people??

Also really disliked her trying to implement a „strong female character“ and writing a white, blonde woman being a man’s pet and being constantly reduced to her body and literally SA‘d - and I hated Greenman even more, because why was every second line of his a really weird sexual reference? Not to mention the protagonists thinking about how to get him to leave the town and deciding to make up fake videos and text messages of Greenman SAing and then killing literal children, because that was not unnecessary, but also totally disrespectful…

This is the middle-symptom-book. I enjoyed it, no question but found Greenmantle, his wife Piper and other spoilery-additions to be not as fulfilling as the characters in the last two books. 

I look forward to reading the last instalment of the Raven Boys - a finale worthy of praise, or so I hope. 

What did this book lack? I'm not sure, maybe I'm too old for teenagers in dire situations.

I started this book with all the intention of giving it 4 stars because I was hoping to really like it, but I’m starting to think this isn’t so much for me. Not that 3 ⭐ is bad, but it wasn’t what I expected. This book or series is not bad at all, is just that I’m not connecting with it the way that I expected.

To be honest I’m getting a bit bored but I’m still going to read the last book. I don’t understand how people waited 1 year for each book, I mean if I had to wait that long after these endings I think I would DNF because is not like it’s a great ending or interesting (to me)

This book is: is not just Glendowell but there’s 3 sleepers and the whole story revolves around that, and like… that’s it.

This guy with complicated last name who was the ex boss of the Gray? I thought he would be an all powerful evil guy but he’s just so weak, all bark and no bite. His wife Piper has more balls than him lo and was more interesting (especially in the end)

The biggest disappointment for me was thinking I would finally love the characters… but 😭 is not that I hate them, I just dislike them (Blue and Ronan) or I don’t care (Gansey and Adam), we won’t even talk about Noah because he’s the one with the most potential to be interesting (in my opinion) but he barely appears.

Besides this is kind of forgettable (and I do have a very good memory) because I would not read this for 3 days and I could not remember what even happened, there was one point where I could not even remember Ronan’s name, it was weird.

Here is the specifics of the content warnings I selected, and it’s very vague so there’s no spoilers:

Panic Attack: At the very beginning, when they're exploring the cave and something happens to one of them he says "I think I'm having a panic attack"

Domestic abuse / Child abuse: Adam father coming to his apartment and him thinking about the old abuse, and mention of the trial.

Gun Violence / Violence / Blood / Death: Someone killing someone and a fight by the end.

Death of parent: Two of the kids seeing a vision of their parents dead.
