I didn’t realize just how much I had forgotten about this story - I’m pretty sure I read it when I was young.

 It’s still an exciting and  thrilling story, with a hitman, dream thieves, and also a normal teenage girl with a fantastic family.

I’m a little speechless right now. Wow. The second part was as good as the first one. The content is downright fascinating, especially the end. I think it’s great that Ronan had more chapters in this book and we finally learned something about him. Maggie Stiefvater manages to impress me every time with her books.

this is one of my all time favourite books. the character development of ronan is beautiful. kavinsky as annoying as i found him, his jokes were sometimes funny. i also love adam even more. i also enjoy blue and gansey relationship growth.
