The stakes are high in this one, for Blue especially, as her mother has gone missing. She’s underground, figuratively and literally, and no one can find her. SHIT IS GETTING REAL, Y’ALL. Not only is Blue dealing with the loss (misplacement?) of her mother, but her feelings for Gansey are getting harder to ignore. The two are playing with fire, really, growing closer and trying to hide it from their friends and themselves. They still can’t kiss, due to Blue’s prophecy that she’ll kill her true […]
I’m running out of time, I’m running and my time’s up
This is the second in Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle series, so will most definitely (probably?) contain spoilers for the first novel. At the end of The Raven Boys, we learn that Ronan, Gansey’s difficult, hot-tempered friend and (ware)house-mate, pulled his pet raven, Chainsaw, directly out of his dreams. (That was a weird sentence I just typed.) This novel picks up that thread and runs (and runs and runs) with it and IT IS DELIGHTFUL. And also sort of horrifying and worrisome. Ronan inherited a […]
They’ll tell the story of tonight
I’m rereading all of these since the final book comes out TOMORROW (EEEEEEK!). I liked this book much more this time through. I think it has something to do with having spent more time with the characters in the following two books. I’m finding myself more wrapped up in this series than I thought I would be and I’m not gonna lie…I’m a bit worried about how everything is going to shake out. (I’m also getting closer to being able to spell Stiefvater correctly without […]
I wanna be in the room where it happens
This book was super cute and sort of made me feel like I was on the verge of tears the entire time? Part of that was PMS, sure, but another big part of that is that reading this sort of felt like someone was poking me right in the center of my cold, dead heart. Which is uncomfortable. Willowdean is a fat (she doesn’t say overweight, she doesn’t see anything wrong with describing herself as fat) teenager living in a small Texas town as obsessed […]
Talk less, smile more
I was hesitant to read yet another YA novel about a young woman thrust into a new, impossible situation (mostly because I’m fairly certain that’s almost all of what I’ve read so far this year) but I was so happy with this one. Which is weird to say now, because up until the last few chapters or so, I was beginning to wonder why everyone loved this book so much. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t LOVE LOVE it, at least not upon first finishing it (maybe […]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
I read the first novel in this series, Cinder, quite a bit ago so I apologize if I get some details wrong, or if I accidentally spoil something. But not really, because these books have been out for a while. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING. Anyway, spoilers ahead, probably. Cinder, of course, was based on the fairy tale Cinderella. A young woman, Lihn Cinder, works as a mechanic in order to supply her step-mother and step-sisters with money and comfort. She’s also a cyborg, just […]
