Summary:
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life.
Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after...
Review:
My favourite element to this series is the mystery and the complex plot between each of the characters. Although the spooky element did not come through quite as much in this book as the first, I have to say: it's still a pretty darn good book. Lately I've been slowing down with reading since the start of school, but even with my lack of interest in reading lately, Maggie Stiefvater has pulled me down her "rabbit hole". I have to say this series is so much better than Maggie's first series -The Wolves of Mercy Falls.
I loved the beginning passage to this book. It immediately drew me in making me all giddy to get started on this book. In fact, it is one of those passages that just make you think "I wonder what slimy secret is lurking inside poor, broken Ronan?" If only the passage was a bit smaller, I would write it everywhere; it's just so perfectly haunting and you wished everyone could read it. My next favourite thing about the beginning chapter is that it ties in with epilogue at the back of the book; it's like the nice conclusion to that really lengthy essay that you cannot even remember what was at the beginning.
The only thing that is, once again, missing in this series is that kiss -the kiss that Blue had been told would kill her true love. I totally understand that once that kiss had happened, the series would be pretty much over because all the suspense would be gone. So, in the mean time, anyone who reads this book, you'll have to settle for the small little snippet of Blue and Gansey's quality time under the stars.
By the end of the book, certain things are solved, but in a way it really was not. They still haven't found the king -whose name I always forget. And on top of that, some else has traveled underground with the king... It results in an odd cliffhanger. But if you're a fan of prophecies -just like me,- you need to read this book!
