I continue to be annoyed with Ronan as a protagonist, and this book didn’t change that. He’s interesting, but only as a blunt instrument, and his motivations are too flimsy to carry the dramatic weight I need from them. He feels stuck in place for most of this book (and the last one), which means he’s once again outclassed by the supporting cast—except for Bryde, who is a shallow and tedious character, tbh. Declan, Matthew, Jordan (the love of my life), and Hennessy continue to steal the show and speak to the bigger ideas Stiefvater is playing with. Whenever they’re in the driver's seat, I’m eagerly buckled in.
The stuff I like here I love, so whenever I encounter something I don’t vibe with, it bums me out, so don’t take my complaints as condemnation because they’re not. There are some spectacular moments of imaginative (and sometimes frightening) spectacle that got my heart pumping. Even when the story started to lose me, it didn’t take long to win me back. However, I will say that the ending does not inspire much confidence in me about the final book. It throws a wrench into things that could lead to something genuinely surprising, but if it sticks to the tempo of the trilogy so far, I don’t know if it’ll resonate with me. I guess we’ll find out!
