I have had a few days to think about how to review this book...and I still have no idea what to say about it. It absolutely crushed me into tiny little pieces. I have now blocked from memory almost every event in this book in order to survive. Of course, all of this means that I absolutely adored this book. I am desperate to have book three.
First and foremost, my dear Declan Lynch is the first that comes to mind when I think about what to write for this review. I think it's because he's the safest one to think about. Declan's relationship with Jordan was the one thing keeping me sane in this book even as I feared the downfall of their relationship. It was the domestic chaos of these two that kept me from being lost at sea. The way Declan can just immediately think "I will eventually marry this woman" after having known said woman for maybe a month? I felt that in my core. That's all I'm saying.
When I think Ronan Lynch...He is the most dangerous lane for my thoughts to wander down. This is because I have never wanted to fight Ronan Lynch as much as I do now. I swear I love my son. I love him dearly. I know why he did everything he did. This does not change the fact that I would like to meet Ronan in the pit in order to beat some sense into him. Boy went unhinged and made me go unhinged.
Bryde... I can't even say what I think of him without delving into spoilers. But I'm just going to say he's toxic and move on with my life. The way he was trying to get both Hennessy and Ronan to question the people they care about? I was going to explode.
The final offense of this book? The absolute lack of Adam Parrish content. Boy frustrates me, but I am still offended by his minuscule presence. I get why it was this way, but I don't have to like it.
Finally, despite the fact that this book broke my heart, it was still full of so much whimsy and fun. I could literally feel Maggie Stiefvater laughing as she wrote this. I could feel her having a good time writing this. The writing felt raw but in an energetic way. Like a live wire. And like a live wire, touching it means you get hurt. Because even as so much joy jumped from these pages, I felt almost melancholy reading it...or distressed...or like certain doom was at hand, and I could do nothing to stop it.
