I think I read the first book of the series last year. So it was long overdue for me to finally get my hands on the second installment and even though I gave it exactly the same rating, I enjoyed it a little less than the first book.

Let me explain. This book definitely reinstated my love for the series and that's mainly because the relationships between the Raven Boys and Blue were to die for. I enjoyed the plot of the first book waaaay more, but what the first book was lacking in comparison to this one, was the relationships. It took way too long to establish the friendship and this book blossomed with their interactions, which I loved!

Overall, I liked the book. I liked the fact that we got an inside on Ronan and his dreams, I found him a very interesting character and I loved the time we spent exploring and learning to know him.

There were many tender, many heartwarming and thrilling moments, so I think all in all, this book had a lot of things I generally love in YA novels. My favourite moments were definitely the owns featuring Blue and Gansey, because Gansey is my absolute favourite character and I can't wait until he gets together with Blue!

The weak point of this book, for me personally, was Grey Man. I didn't like him, I didn't particularly care for him and overall I think that he didn't really offer anything to the story. His redeeming arc felt like it took two paragraphs to write, it was too short and I don't like the fact that he's so seamlessly integrated with Blue's family. To be honest, this book had a villan/antagonist, who was Kavinsky, so I don't think that the Grey Man was really needed to move the plot forward.

Closing, I liked this book! I read it with one of my good friends, so I think this totally enhanced my experience and I can't wait to continue with the series!
