I LOVE RONAN LYNCH. 

i don’t even want to write a review i just want to keep reading this series.

some almost-spoiler-free take ways:
- homophobia was the villain all along
- I ALSO LOVE ADAM PARRISH
- who the hell is the gray man 
- i did not know what was going on for 60% of this book and yet i was thrilled
- did i mention Ronan Lynch is babygirl? 
- Blue is too horny to live, too sensible to die
- Gansey… honey, we’ll get back to your storyline at a later date honey 
- don’t do drugs, kids! 
- friendship is magic 
- sometimes being Catholic is okay
- Gansey’s lapdog/Gansey’s dog 
- THE MAGICIAN 
- don’t google things before reading, spoiling this series is not fun at all 
- Family Guy stole a line outta this book
- i ❤️ the snake boy 
- Noah baby… baby boy… i’m so sorry 

alright, bye. i’m going to read book three RIGHT now.

"dying is a boring side effect." 
this book was even better than the first one. i love how the characters keep getting more complicated. we got to see ronans sweeter side and i couldnt love him more. i think adam acting slightly shitty was accurate representation of his mental state and made me self-reflect because i related to him so much in the first book(still do but i would say im more a mix of ronan, him and blue).

kavinsky thirsting over ronan was so funny because i know how much ronan held back cause he knew kavinsky is a scumbag of a person. noah and blues kissing scene made me cry.

also im kind of in love with blue.

I’m a little speechless right now. Wow. The second part was as good as the first one. The content is downright fascinating, especially the end. I think it’s great that Ronan had more chapters in this book and we finally learned something about him. Maggie Stiefvater manages to impress me every time with her books.

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.
