I didn’t know what to expect from this sequel but for sure I wasn’t expecting to like it so much! After liking a lot the first novel I was a bit afraid that this new installment wouldn’t be as good as The Raven Boys but I’m so happy to be incorrect. There were so many things going on and after the big introduction that was the first book, I was very glad to see things moving and developing.
What I liked the most about this book was for sure its innovative plot. The main concept of the dream realm and how it worked was very original and I was curious all the time to know more about it. Not to mention my lovely Ronan. He definitely stood out in this novel. His character development was huge and well done and I felt very satisfied with Stiefvater work. He is definitely the character that shone the most, I was very glad I finally had the chance to know him better, with his pros and cons and also the big heart he has inside himself. I just want him to be always safe and happy and loved and I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for him.
Another thing that I really liked was witnessing the blossoming of Gansey and Blue’s relationship. I can feel their struggle, I can feel their passion, I can feel that I’m going to cry about what is going to happen between them and I don’t think I’m ready to see it. I can predict it will be a punch in my stomach.
A character I wasn’t the biggest fan of was, unfortunately, Adam. I still see him as a boy that needs to figure out who he is and his place in the world. I didn’t like his bursts of rage and I just hope that this is all part of a plan that will be developed better in the next novel. I just want to love him as much as the other Raven Boys.
The only thing I’m still trying to figure out is the ending. I felt it too rushed and the epilogue left me completely puzzled. After it, I don’t know what to expect from the next book but I just hope it will be as good as the first two installments!
