3.0

I started this book with all the intention of giving it 4 stars because I was hoping to really like it, but I’m starting to think this isn’t so much for me. Not that 3 ⭐ is bad, but it wasn’t what I expected. This book or series is not bad at all, is just that I’m not connecting with it the way that I expected.

To be honest I’m getting a bit bored but I’m still going to read the last book. I don’t understand how people waited 1 year for each book, I mean if I had to wait that long after these endings I think I would DNF because is not like it’s a great ending or interesting (to me)

This book is: is not just Glendowell but there’s 3 sleepers and the whole story revolves around that, and like… that’s it.

This guy with complicated last name who was the ex boss of the Gray? I thought he would be an all powerful evil guy but he’s just so weak, all bark and no bite. His wife Piper has more balls than him lo and was more interesting (especially in the end)

The biggest disappointment for me was thinking I would finally love the characters… but 😭 is not that I hate them, I just dislike them (Blue and Ronan) or I don’t care (Gansey and Adam), we won’t even talk about Noah because he’s the one with the most potential to be interesting (in my opinion) but he barely appears.

Besides this is kind of forgettable (and I do have a very good memory) because I would not read this for 3 days and I could not remember what even happened, there was one point where I could not even remember Ronan’s name, it was weird.
