Sometimes, the writing felt too on the nose about things, like it was trying to tell the readers something by breaking the 4th wall? The writing being strange is the only reason why this isn't 5 stars, but it's so addictive to read

5 stars except for the cliff-hanger ending. You know how I feel about those.
This is definitely the character-driven book of the series. Very little plot development, but that which did develop was indispensable. Obviously bummed by the lack of Ronan POV, but ecstatic on the Adam surplus. This was the book that removed all my reservations for Blue, but at the same time I do sympathize more with her now for personal reasons. Also, strangely, even though Gansey was the most in-the-back-drop of the main four in this book, he went through the most character development due to awesomeness (mostly thanks to Gwenllian). A+ on antagonists. As always, Maggie's beautiful prose, themes, symbolism, etc., is what defines this series. No one else could execute this. In her honor, I made a TRC Spotify playlist which includes 99% of the songs she has posted on Twitter/tumblr. It's pretty whack, but makes for a great reading experience.
Update 10/23/14: Finiiiished. I've been having a bad week, so I feel like this book didn't everything it could for me. I will reread it next week. Then I will reread it when I feel better. Better reviews will be produced.
Cover Release!
Yay Blue! Beautiful cover! I need this NOW!

Adaaaaaam... I want Adaaaam...

Compared to the previous books, there is so much more adventure and action that encompass the whole book. With the main plot of finding Glendower sub plots arise to make everything a bit more interesting.
New characters are introduced and Steifvater has this unique attribute in her writing that gives all of her characters so much depth and attention.
(we do, however, get less of Noah, much to my disappointment.)
BUT theres more moments of Gansey and Blue, which in all entirety is both heart-wrenching and captivating.
Furthermore, the character growth of all characters, especially the leading Characters is so profound and emotionally unstable, yet real. Before this book, Adam annoyed me, scared me, and I honestly had a least favorite and favorite Raven Boy, but now? I don't know who I adore most.
I just love the characters in the book, and with the ending coming near and death so imminent to a book, I'm not looking forward to what's next when it comes to that aspect. (Chapter 42 speaks for me especially)
In all, I can't wait to start The Raven King, but dread it all. I don't want this series to end.
