So, I really like this book. I will say that in the first half of the book it just felt like things were happening for no reason at all. I can't even remember much of it, just a day after having read it.
However, it got much MUCH better throughout the second half.
I still really like Ronan, and Adam is starting to grow on me. Gansey maybe even more, but he's being pulled down by Blue. Honestly. Remove her. I cannot stand her at all. The story genuinely would've been so much better without Blue and her whole family WITH☝ the exception of Maura*. She's a great character, and her dynamic with the Gray Man works really well. Alas, I cannot stand Calla, Persephone, or Orla, and as honourable mentions: Neeve. Why not just spell it Niamh when that is her name? Silly Americans.
* You know how so many female characters are exclusively love interests for male characters? Well, Blue is Maura's daughter character. Like, she's just there to make Maura a MILF. Blue is excessive; Maura is life.
The whole 300 Fox Way family feels so... 🤌 quasi-weird. Like the author's writing a family made up of signature quirky girls™.
Now, Greenmantle and Piper?! They're the O.G.s. My favourite couple by far here. I love to see read about they're weird interactions. They never let you know what comes next, and they're just so authentically peculiar.
Like, I imagine 300 Fox Way being weird in a cat way. Like cringe. Come on, cats are not that weird, just shut up already.
Meanwhile, Greenmantle and Piper are weird in a stick insect way. So peculiar and odd, but it's just the way they live life. There are no Tumblr people going «LMAO XD STICK BUGS ARE SO WEIRD» No. They are authentic. The real shit.
The plot is good, though. :)
Very nice, very intriguing, and I LOVE the details like Chainsaw, a made-up mum?? (Niall Lynch literally got the woman of his dreams).
This is what really makes up the book, so this alone I'd say would've made the five-star, but the 300 Fox Way people pull it down. Should've just been Gansey, Ronan, and Adam, because to be honest, hadn't it been for his shared plot-line with Gansey, Noah could've been dropped as well.
Anyways, I do recommend the series. It's definitely worth it, AND it is worth mentioning that I seem to be the only person with this opinion on 300 Fox Way. That and that I think I'm going down a rabbit hole of shitty things to say about them. Giving Maura a bad reputation, really.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH THIS SERIES??? probably my favorite installment so far, the humor in these books and every dynamic is just so so so good, can’t get enough of it.
definitely more plot-focused than the previous novels and that worked just great, i loved everything that happened in here. the mysterious magical elements and the characters are always SO amazing and it’s only getting better. i’m not ready for the next book to be the last one tho.

"but what she didn't realise about blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another"
dream thieves lost points for the anger and destruction, blue lily gains them back with its focus on the building relationships between the main cast
adam and ronan's dynamic really begins to change in this volume, blue and gansey falling deeper into one another
even blue and ronan taking time to understand one another, adam repairing his bond with gansey
there is a lot of tension in blue lily, and although the ending felt a little rushed, it left me needing to pick up the final book asap!
