Wow. I find no fauls in this book! It was sooo wonderfully creepy and atmospheric! The writing was gorgeous and the concept soo unique which made the storyline soo refreshing. I love all the characters; I was more invested though, to finding out their backgrounds stories rather than the actual plot which at the moment is still a bit not "clear" but nonetheless magestic! There's soo much more to be revealed in the next books I am soo excited. It took over the past couple of days of my life it li ...more

UPDATE: Re-read July 2021
I don’t know how I love this book more each time. The first time I read it I was on vacation and super distracted and couldn’t get into the story the way I wanted. The second time I tried the audiobook and loved it but with audiobooks I tend to fade in and out because I’m usually doing something else while listening. This time I read the physical copy again. No distractions, no rushing, and I really feel like I got to immerse myself in the story like never before! LOVED ...more

Forbidden Love, A quest to find the Lay Line and Glendower. This was quite a slow book to start with But as it got on it more interesting. Fantastic that the story is told trough a number of the characters in the novel, which helps with the story. All in all a good read and I will be looking forward to the next book.

This was an okay book. The writing was average, and although I loved the characters I couldn't really give this book 4 stars. I'm still planning on continuing in the series. ...more

I have never read anything so lyrically presented. Maggie Steifvater is a genius. I don't know how I will read another book because they will all be measured by this very high bar.
Ps. I love Gansey and all his flaws. But he is not part of my ship. Blue + Adam 4ever ;) ...more
