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!

The amount this story improved just by adding Ronan's POV is actually outrageous. And of course by adding Kavinsky as a character! (

will be interesting to see how the story holds up without him in the next book...

) I did also like the development of Blue/Adam/Gansey more as I felt it learnt some nuance what with Adam's anger/daddy issues, although I still don't think it's very interesting  (a pre-destined love story is always kinda boring tbh, I mean you know what's going to happen!!) And the bad (?) guy - Mr. Gray - felt a lot more fleshed out and interesting than the one from the previous book, so that was nice. The audio book narration was also great, really excellent voice acting and never let's you forget we're in southern america lol). Hope to see more of a deep dive into adam's character growth in the next book though as I felt his arc was a bit glossed over in this one. Overall a very fun read and I'm glad I stuck with the series after hating the first installment so much lol.
