YOOOOOO. THAT WAS SO COOL OMG i feel very interested in psychic stuff now and i want to go to a psychic and be told stuff but anyway wow this book was so good!!! icl i skim-read some stuff so im a liiittle confused but overall im good. i thought it was going to be more fantasy (which i guess it is? just not the fantasy im used to) rather than supernatural but i loved it :O it was a nice change from the kind of fantasy i usually read you know? i love the raven boys and blue so much <33

i think ronan is my favourite because idk he’s one of those characters that puts on a mean front but is actually really nice and also like needs a hug ☹️ and i love blue she’s so cool. and gansey!! he’s funny i like him too. adam went a bit weird at the end when he sacrificed himself but him & blue were cute, their little moments <3 im interested to see what happens in that aspect in the next book bc obviously blue cant kiss her true love?? so idk how that’ll work but we’ll see i guess. THE PLOT TWIST OF NOAH BEING DEAD OH MY GOD. i was SHOCKED i would never have guessed that but wow. agh i feel so sorry for him :(( and then whelk being the one who killed him?? i was wondering why there was a short chapter here and there from his pov but i guess that’s why. ugh i hate whelk he’s gross but at least he’s dead now. also the forest is spooky but kinda cool?? like imagine walking through a forest and suddenly it goes from spring to autumn, that would be awesome.

honestly i can’t get over how much i loved the supernatural psychic element of the book?? need to read the next one now
