And ugh, that thing where television makes poor modes of behavior look like the norm so everyone does them. I hate that thing. I used to know this one girl who basically lived like she was on a sitcom, at least in terms of how she interacted with everyone around her, and it was the actual worst.

Mm, I can see where you are coming from BUT I feel like the transition was relatively smooth. She had a lot of chemistry with Adam in the last book because he was paying attention to her; in this book he’s not doing any of that stuff. He’s dealing with his issues (fair play to him, he’s got a lot of stuff going on). So there’s that, and plus I think Blue got really upset about him yelling at her and kicking his box of things in the beginning of this book. That would upset me a lot. That would put me right off a person.

Hahahah, I totally love the way Ronan treats Noah. And I also love it when Ronan does a kind deed for Adam. When Ronan does kind deeds for Adam, my heartstrings are substantially tugged.

She’s intriguing! Or at least her books are. I was really really impressed with them.

Ummmm, so — I’m going to say no. It ends with the same sort of thing as Raven Boys does, where it’s a surprise and you’re like, oh okay, so they’ll be dealing with this in the next book. But I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger. I think you are safe to read it. Just one woman’s opinion.

It was! I kind of hated Blue then because, I mean, could she not have found a better moment? And I feel like she used to have chemistry with Adam and now we are seeing her have chemistry with Gansey and I dunno, I feel like that is just kind of forced because she feels like it is meant to happen.

I don’t know if Adam is my favorite or Ronan. Horribly, I loved the way Ronan treated Noah, which was not at all kindly but kind of hilarious.

I’m not sure it’s wise for me to read The Dream Thieves ’til the next one is out, though. Does it end with a cliffhanger? ‘Cause I can live with the way The Raven Boys ends and wait, with some effort, for the rest of the series to be published, but if I read the second one and it ends terribly, I’ll go crazy.

Me too me too. I am so curious to see what he can do in the next book, and also if he is going to become very weird like Persephone. But I was really really sad when Blue told him she wasn’t into him. No blame to Blue. It was just a really sad scene.

GOD ME TOO.
