Why does the author hate short people??

Also really disliked her trying to implement a „strong female character“ and writing a white, blonde woman being a man’s pet and being constantly reduced to her body and literally SA‘d - and I hated Greenman even more, because why was every second line of his a really weird sexual reference? Not to mention the protagonists thinking about how to get him to leave the town and deciding to make up fake videos and text messages of Greenman SAing and then killing literal children, because that was not unnecessary, but also totally disrespectful…

"but what she didn't realise about blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another" 

dream thieves lost points for the anger and destruction, blue lily gains them back with its focus on the building relationships between the main cast

adam and ronan's dynamic really begins to change in this volume, blue and gansey falling deeper into one another

even blue and ronan taking time to understand one another, adam repairing his bond with gansey 

there is a lot of tension in blue lily, and although the ending felt a little rushed, it left me needing to pick up the final book asap!
