Summary: The ley lines at Cabeswater have been awakened, so now nothing will be the same anymore for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam. Ronan is starting to fall deeper into his dreams and his dreams are even starting to seep its way into real life. But there are some suspicious people going around looking for the same mysteries of Cabeswater that Gansey is looking for.
Characters: This book focuses more on Ronan and his ability as a dreamer. We also learn more about his backstory and his relationship with his family and we learn why exactly his father died. The Gray Man and Kavinsky were interesting characters that added on to the plot and they seemed really real and fleshed out. The friend group is starting to fall apart because of the events that are going on, but they still seem to really care about one another. There's even romances hinted at between the characters, which I hope will be developed later in the series.
Other Stuff: The soundtrack at the end of the audiobook added to the atmosphere of the book and it was composed by Maggie Stiefvater herself, which is incredibly amazing.
