The beginning is a little confusing to me. I understand Blue’s half. Her whole family is gifted with the ability to tell fortunes. While they are never specific in detail, they always come true. However, Blue doesn’t have this ability, she also can’t see spirits like the rest. Her ability is that she can enhance the others’ abilities. She makes the fortunes more specific and allows others to see spirits.

I have no idea what’s happening really. I know the basics, but I don’t know the reason for anything happening. The dialogue between the characters is always so confusing and cryptic. It’s a little draining right now to read. It’s dragging.

So the boys are basically outcasts except for Gansey? Like he could have as many friends as he wanted truthfully but he surrounded himself with three people who should’ve been alone.

The longer I read, the more questions I get. But so far none of them are being answered.

Okay, so Gansey is searching for a leyline because it could be a clue to help in the search of a missing ruler’s tomb. A tomb he plans on entering to wake an undead ruler who will grant him a wish? Like it sounds completely nuts. How the author describes him, his obsession, his insomnia, and everything else makes him sound completely nuts.

Blue helps with the church watch every year. Here, they record the names of all the spirits who show up. These names and people are ones in the local town who will die within 12 months. People pay good money to know such information.

But why was he looking for something supernatural? I’m just confused right now.

Now, on to the boys, the first appearance of the boys was confusing to say the least to me. I didn’t quite understand the dialogue, group dynamic, or what was happening. Gansey apparently stayed near a church in hopes of something supernatural happening, and this is where he heard his voice say his name and she heard blue’s voice, which coincides with what happened on her end.

She received a fortune when she was six. When she kisses her true love, he will die. Like oh yes, every child’s dream fairytale. So that basically squashed every hope of a relationship she could ever have quite early on, and she is adamant about never falling in love.
