Easily the best book I've read all year.
I've never read a book before where I love every single character equally.
Blue: she is everything i aspire to be and i just want to be bffs with her
Gansey: yes plz
Ronan: he's so scary and angry but you just know he secretly loves to watch cute cat videos
Adam: he must be wrapped in a warm blanket and protected at all costs
Noah: my precious cinnamon bun ...more

So the beginning was good, the middle I had a hard time with, but the ending was very engaging. To be honest, I think the set up was the hardest for me to understand.
The writing was good, but initially while introducing the characters, the plot and paranormal aspects were a lot to digest. I sensed the author was trying hard to make the descriptions of the characters overly complex in addition to other aspects like the ley line which consequently came across as jumbled.

Yay I liked it! Thank god after all the hype! This book is very subtle in many ways, it doesn't tell you things outright. I don't have an opinion on that I just thought it needed to be said.

Great book. The ending dragged a little bit for me, and I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. I didn't hate it, it wasn't what I was expecting, but it wasn't something that I thought is what the book was leading up to. However it is still a great book, and I can't wait to read book 2 in the series.

After I got used to the writing style and switching POVs I really enjoyed this book! The characters were amazing and unique, the plot twists often unexpected and above all: just wow!
Why did it take me this long to read this book?!!? It's so amazing!

It was really good. Just not good enough for a 5 stars.
