Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0

This time, in this book, I'm not going to talk about much more than the ships. Because they're on my mind. Always.

Gansey x Blue. Goddamn. I find their relationship quite frustrating. Especially that one part, in the car, when they were almost kissing, and the next moment they were fighting over that one Aglionby boy, Henry(?). I don't even know what there was to fight about. They just were. And then whenever they're around people, they always pretend that they don't like each other in the slightest, that the most they could ever be is friends. I just find that super frustrating, and the fights that Blue starts don't help. Like, I know there are definitely things other people say that would easily offend anyone had the comments been directed at them, but I still think Blue's fighting is a bit excessive.


Ronan x Adam. I can slowly, very slowly see it happening. But to me, I just feel like the idea of Ronan liking anyone is impossible. I mean, I guess we've already seen that with his family, and he does show it (rarely) around his friends, but I don't know, I guess I just can't see Ronan liking anyone that way. But I am slowly waiting for it to happen. I can see it forming in front of me, and I'm just here, saying over and over "just happen already!!!"


Mr. Gray x Maura. I love them. I cannot leave them out of this review because I totally ship them and I want them to be togetherrrr foreverrr!! I just love them so much! And at the beginning of the second book, I did not like Mr. Gray. I thought he was another Barrington Whelk and I was just like goddamn it, Blue, stay away from him, he's trouble. But then, he became nice. And now I love him more than Ronan, more than Adam, maybe even more than Noah. And he loves Maura so much. I don't think he had a perspective in this book, but in the last book, it showed just how much he really adored Maura, and I just think it's super sweet, they're super sweet. I don't want it to end... I really hope they end up together. I mean, technically they found Artemus "Butternut" now, but I really think Maura should choose Mr. Gray. Art has been gone for too long. And I'm not sure whether or not that's his fault (I don't think it is), but whatever. He's been gone, and Mr. Gray saved the day. We all love him now. He deserves to end up the champion. If he doesn't end up with Maura, I will die.

I can't think of any more ships; I don't think there are more. I don't think so... but if I'm missing any, then Oh well. I can't choose my favourite ship - all of them have their ups and downs. But if any of them perish, a part of my soul will perish with them. I'll be looking for certain things in the next book...
