hello? what the fuck did i just read?

the plot twists in this book were absolutely insane. i feel like we finally got a grasp on what Bryde’s goals are, what the Mods want, and how each character fits into the puzzle, but i am left with so many questions i am concerned that a third book will not satisfy me. 

maggie stiefvater when i catch you…

so let’s recap:
  • Adam and Ronan are stressing me the fuck out
  • Declan and Jordan are somehow giving me butterflies on every page despite Jordan literally stealing his car and being a general menace this entire book
  • Matthew is a sweet baby angel who keeps having the same identity crisis—and is that from realizing he is a dream, or just generally being a teenager? maybe both. 
  • Ronan
    is a bad guy actually? hello? externalizing all of his greatest fears and darkest desires into a Dream Mastermind Villain?
  • being a young adult sucks actually i think is the general message here
  • Hennessy is straight up
    suicidal and that was absolutely heart wrenching to watch unfold
    but maybe things are improving now that she has joined the weirdo squad 
  • Carmen grew a pair 
  • Liliana is a freak but a wise freak
  • sweetmetals were introduced this book and i am so confused but also so intrigued and i need to definitively know how they are made or i will freak 
  • the entire Jordan In White situation had me so fucked up 
  • Hennessy not giving Jordan
    the memories of JH… girl
  • Adam please put your southern drawl back on…….. i need you to be Normal………….. i love you please gain back some of that character development from TRC
  • i fucking love gay people 
  • MATTHHHEEEWWWWWWWW

overall, the writing in this book was slightly inconsistent but i do think some of maggie’s best work is in this series, genuinely. i am so in awe of these books and while i did NOT see the ending of this book coming (and i’m also
not sure if i completely agree with/am on board with this direction) i am so pumped to read book 3 and see how the series closes out.

it’s 3:45am good fuckin night
