So far I'm really impressed that the Chelsea who read these books about 10 years ago has the same opinion as I do rereading them now.

I liked this book, just not as much as the first. I think that part of that is because it feels like a whole different tone and plot than the first book. Almost like a detour from what the main overarching plot is. I do think that this book is needed for information and especially Ronan's character development.

I think that you can also see Maggie's love of cars. I personally, didn't care for the Kavinsky parts, but I'm so ready to continue in the series!

Diving into Ronan Lynch’s background was fascinating and I’m so glad Stiefvater focused on him in book two. This book was brilliant and wild, I loved it! The multiple POVs can be a bit chaotic and tricky to follow, but the characters are rich and well-developed.

The book started out rather confusing and I took a long break while reading it, on the other side after I came back to this I read thr rest in a day. The end is making me look forward to the next book. This series is confusing and I'm pretty sure I sometimes don't understand everything but I am invested in the story and the characters. The Gray Man was such an interesting character meanwhile Ronan's storyline was so much more! This book might be one of the best in the series (which is surprisingly rare for a second book) but for that I first have to read the others and I definitely will!

Might have liked this more than book 1. Very intriguing, makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. I wasn't a huge fan of Ronan in the first book, but I found his story really interesting in this book and I'm liking him more now. Wasn't sure what to expect with the second book either but I'm enjoying the series so far!
