Does it? I read Lament and didn’t like it — is Ballad markedly better?

Hahahahaha, I would totally read that book. I would read it twice.

Oh man, I can’t handle meeting authors. I was the worst dork when I met Neil Gaiman, and I just am not sure I can do it anymore. I’m going to maybe confine myself to writing admiring letters.

But that is very cool!!

RONAN. RONAN. I keep rereading the parts of those books where Ronan and Adam do kind things for each other. <3 And also, oh gosh, the bit where Gansey, ahhhhhh, where Gansey knows that he won't ever get back the Ronan Lynch who existed before his father died, but Gansey doesn't want to lose the Ronan Lynch he has now AAAAAAAHHHHH FEELINGS.

I can only say that I am REALLY REALLY GLAD that I made time for it myself. I loved it.

It’s SO GOOD. I am glad we had that serious Twitter talk about Gansey’s character. My little sister is still out on him, I think, but is very in on Adam Parrish, who just had his first (incredibly endearing) conversation with Blue. I think the arc of the books so far has been away from Adam Parrish’s endearingness (though I have not ceased to love him the best) and toward Gansey’s.

I felt “eh” about the werewolf book AND I felt “eh” about The Scorpio Races, which a lot of people loved. But I CRAZY loved these books.
