Such a weird thing to be nitpicky about, but one of my least favorite tropes is “Don’t be offended if my pet/child hates you, they hate strangers…. WHAT?!?! THEY LOVE YOU AND YOU’VE ONLY JUST MET?!?!” Could you lay it on any thicker that there’s eXpLoSiVe ChEmiStRy between the two MCs, and they’re destined to be together?

I think I have to embrace MCs being a little insufferable if I want to get through any book these days. Emmy’s certainly meant for Talia though; they’re both kind of the worst. I’m LOVING the fantasy elements though! I love a good witch town!!

Girl, how traumatizing does the break up have to be where we’re still thinking (obsessing) about it NINE YEARS LATER?? May this love never find me😟

I have NO idea how this book is supposed to be near finished because NOTHING has been resolved

“It was possible that there were two gods in this church”. NOW KISS!

Finally, we reintroduce the fact that Adam is deaf in one ear. This is such a weird thing for me to be hung up on, but it happened and was never spoken about again, which makes no sense for it to have happened in the first place. Disabling a character for plot convenience then never actually addressing how their disability affects their life is a little icky… but alas it returns!

One day I’ll stop giving live page by page updates, but that’s not today. PLEASE stop reexplaining plot points!!! I know who people are! I know what the ley line is!! It’s the THIRD BOOK IN THE SERIES

Gansey having a panic attack because he thinks there are hornets on him (which he is DEATHLY allergic to) and Blue is telling him that he’s pissing her off and she should be the one that’s getting reassured?? I HATE HER!!

Ronan-Kanvisky kiss scene when

Noah is the best. I love Noah. Where is my Noah centric book? When is Noah the main character? I don’t know why I’m struggling to finish this book because I like Ronan. #losingit

I’m crawling through this book at a snail’s pace for numerous reasons, but I’m desperately hoping we get through the retelling of the first book soon. I read the first book. I remember what happened. Diva, you don’t have to tell me every plot point again

The comment blue makes about wanting to kiss gansey coming from the sensible part of her mind deducing that he just has a nice mouth… i want to eat a pound of bricks. I HATE “oh i’m not in love with — they’re just nice to look at” and then it’s some stupid “oh my god i’ve loved you this whole time!”

PLEASE DON'T MAKE ADAM EVIL PLEASE DON'T MAKE ADAM EVIL PLEASE DON'T MA-

I really do resonate with a lot of the themes explored in this book, but they feel repetitive at times

Adam Parrish = Todd Anderson but honestly? Adam, Ronan, and Noah are all more interesting to me than Gansey, which sucks because Gansey is the main Raven Boy

I was going to give this book the 50-page test, and now I’m over half way done🙃

I can practically smell an act 3 break up due to miscommunication brewing…

50 page rule failed me on the other book I was reading, but I’m liking this book a lot more so far. Both characters are already interesting to me, so FINGERS CROSSED IT WILL BE GOOD🤞🤞

This book is kind of ass how did it get chosen to be turned into a TV show

I watched the show before I read the book, so take everything with a grain of salt. The constant narration worked well in the show but I’m kind of hating how much telling there is in the book?

Stop I had such high expectations and now it’s turning out like every other YA novel I’ve read recently

Love that we aren’t infantilizing Crest/Ross, but you cannot convince me these characters are high schoolers. They read as adults, so any mention of Sean being in high school is SO awkward😭😭 what do you MEAN we’re worried about prom???

LOOOOVE the way this book is handling gender expression and gender identity❤️❤️❤️

Is it bad that I like Priya more than Juliette…

Tumblr post reference and a kind of annoying main character within the first quarter? We’ll see how the rest of the book pans out

Lost track of how many times this book has made me cry

Witch Hazel made me cry. What a sweet story. So far, I liked Tending Sweetgrass more than Planting Sweetgrass

I am Ben and Ben is me

I swear to god if Felix and Ezra end up together-

Still SO much telling but I’m SO invested in the messy romance
