I am obsessed with how the author writes. Love the concept and execution. Incredible subtle references to Ronan's secret(s). I adore how the author subtly foreshadows things and yet also surprises me constantly.

Minor: Fatphobia

In regards to the fatphobia I just felt that there was another unnecessary comment about weight. Maybe I'm being oversensitive but it's not relevant to the character or story and after the comment in book 1 I was on the look out 'it was becoming more obvious as she swiveled that she was not the thinnest woman on the planet but she had stomach muscles like woah'

In the first few chapters this book already did so much more than the first one in terms of developing the characters and their relationships, it managed to pull me in and keep me invested in all the different dynamics going on and i loved every single one. The friendship between the main five was one of my favorite things in the book its so realistically written and pure and funny.
The writing improved so much it didnt get so lost in confusing metaphors or pointless descriptions and when it did it was most of the times in way that didnt interrupt the story but added to it, and there was something happening at any point during the story unlike the first one that was full of dull nothings.
And Ronan.... i love him so fucking much, its ridiculous how attached i got to him in just one book, he was my favorite in the raven boys and im so glad I got a full book about him and his personal development.
