This was a very enjoyable read! I loved how everything was tied together and really appreciate Maggie Stiefvater's research into divination and all things witchy and magical that clearly went into this book. I didn't like all the characters, in fact our main character, Blue, was one of my least favorites. I found my favorite characters were Calla and Persephone who are largely side characters. I could relate with the friendship of Blue and "her boys" because I was the sole girl in my group of high school friends. That being said, I think there was way too much of a love interest built up way too soon. I really wish we could see Blue building a friendship with these boys without being romantically attracted to any of them. Ultimately, I gave this book four stars because the writing fell a little short. The story didn't flow as well as it should have, and time wasn't spent on certain parts of the book that really needed it. These things were not distracting while reading, but with such a great story behind it it's disappointing when there are pieces lacking that so clearly stick out.
