“No one but Ronan knew the terrors that lived in his mind.
Plagues and devils, conquerors and beasts."
The second installment in the all-new series from the masterful, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after…
My Opinion:
Interestingly, this book was about the struggles of Ronan and Adam. Adam just infuriated me. He had that hero-complex that he needs to do everything for himself. And well, that never works out. Life is bearable and travel-worthy due to family and friends, or family-like friends. I'm glad Adam finally got better at the end of the book, because I was starting to worry. He was becoming super violent. Ronan's story was heavily interesting. A dream walker/ maker. He is more than he appears to be. And his home-life was just jaw-dropping. In my opinion, Blue and Ganesy need to get their love life together. We all know as readers that they will eventually hook up and kiss. I want it sooner than later. This book includes several moments where Blue's jealousy flare up. Also, Glendower needs to hurry up and be found. The quest is just soo drab. I'm talking about Glendwoer himself, plus their clues and Gansey's British friend consultant. The actual actions of the characters in their quest are page-worthy.
My new favorite characters for this book are Maura, Calla, Persephone, and The Gray Man. All the adults just took on a comedic and light-heartening tone in the novel, since the main characters are so depressing. Lastly, i need more scenes with just Blue and Noah. They are like best friends and its so cute. I recommend you read this book, if you like a huge dose of magic, dead languages, and a little bit of mystery confusion.
P.S. Stiefvater has a playlist together for reading the book. And here it is:
