I didn’t realize just how much I had forgotten about this story - I’m pretty sure I read it when I was young.

 It’s still an exciting and  thrilling story, with a hitman, dream thieves, and also a normal teenage girl with a fantastic family.

this is one of my all time favourite books. the character development of ronan is beautiful. kavinsky as annoying as i found him, his jokes were sometimes funny. i also love adam even more. i also enjoy blue and gansey relationship growth.
