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.

So, I absolutely love this book. Perhaps even more than the first one. Yeah, this one was way more fun.

I love Ronan's POV! He's such an interesting character, and though he's «edgy» in a way, I don't feel like it goes overboard.
I also adore the Gray Man. I love to read about him,

and I think his dynamic with Maura works well.

The only thing I have to say is that ... well, I frankly cannot stand Blue. Maybe I'm just a misogynist, but that girl and her entire family (with the exception of Maura) is just not it for me. Frankly, her entire plot could've just been removed, because so far I don't really see the relevance.

However, back to my beloved birds and Welsh Kings——
Dwi'n caru ti, Glyndŵr.🫶 I'm learning Welsh and adore the references to Anglo-Saxons and Celts here. A bit confused about why they're looking for a mediaeval old Welsh fart in Virginia, but I'll accept it.
And Chainsaw, I love her, too.
Having serious homosexual feelings for Joseph Kavinsky. I don't want to talk about it.
The nightmare corvid monsters are cool, too. 10/10

So, this book is definitely recommended! I may or may not be the only person who dislikes Blue, I dunno, but don't let her stop you from reading this.

"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.
