Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
The first thing I want to say is that, I didn't understand what was happening the majority of this book. That doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy a lot of it, but there were some parts where there was too much happening that either, didn't correspond with other things going on or just generally didn't make sense with the rest of the concurrent plot. Of course this is just my opinion and my experience with the story. I could think this because there wasn't much development in this book, but why should there need to be? It's the last book in the series, it can be all action based if it wants to, it's just because of this I didn't understand all the plot arcs.
I did really enjoy the characters in this story. I felt like I really knew them inside and out based on their development from the other books and that helped with the confusing plot to me. I did feel like Blue and Gansey's relationship didn't really make sense in this book, it was just filler and unnecessary, except for near the very end, but even then it didn't pack the punch like I was hoping for. I did really enjoy Rowan and Adam's connection/relationship, compared to Blue and Gansey, I felt they really soared and that it had a purpose in this book. Henry felt unnecessary as well. Like he briefly showed up in other books but all the sudden he's a full part of the gang now? I didn't understand that. Something that disappointed me a lot was Piper. I felt she could have been written to be this extravagant villain but the part she did play is this book was lackluster. I liked her character too and wanted more of her.
But the one thing that really disappointed me was the ending. Was I the only one not really satisfied? That's okay, I might be the unpopular opinion but it didn't fully incapsulate the importance and quality of all the books. I also, which goes along well with what I said earlier about the book, didn't quite understand the ending. Was Gansey alive or not...? Like did I just miss some really important detail that explained his future existence within the world? I must have because I was really confused when Gansey was apart of the conversation near the end of the book because I thought he died... hmm.
I guess my expectations for this book were high because 1. it's the last book in the series and 2. Blue Lily, Lily Blue was so good I was expecting that to continue with this, but it sadly did not.
