Review:

I’ve finally finished this series and it’s really bitter sweet! I loved being immersed in the lives of Blue, Gansey, Adam and Ronan, and their adventures! The components of this book were exciting and thrilling, and kept me engaged most of the book! It centres around Gansey’s need to find Glendower, but also the other forces coming to play in Henrietta, and how evil people are coming to benefit off the magical elements in the town!

–

The main reason I didn’t give this book five stars was because I thought the end of the book was a little predictable, and while I enjoyed the ending, I guessed the whole thing. Which is totally fine as this is a YA book, but I found myself skimming the last 50 pages because of this! Other elements in the book surprised and wowed me, so definitely still worth picking up and reading! Overall, an amazing series!

Happy reading!
