WIJFR: BL, LB SPOILER ALERT

Jen748

THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD!

OMG.

This Book. I can't even.

MATTHEW IS A DREAM CREATION??? WHAT! I loved this. So much.

And for effs sake I need Adam and Ronan to get the smoooooch on STAT.

I wasn't so sure if I really liked Mr. Gray in TDT, but I think I might love him now.

Also, can we talk about how much these stories make me wish I could write something so deep and true and magical?

RONAN + ADAM = MY OTP 4 EVER

I just can't even with these two. CAN'T EVEN. The part in the church? Or how they just kept running off together? Or how Adam actually realizes that Ronan is interested in him and not only does he not seem to mind, he's actually kinda stoked about it? 

MY HEART.

MY HEART. 

The church scene killllllled me. JUST KISS HIM. MAKE OUT WITH HIM RIGHT HERE WITH MARY WATCHING!

And, when Ronan told Adam why he goes to the Barns to dream b/c of the hornets. I thought my heart would explode. 1. Because Ronan is so damn sweet. 2. Because he shared it with Adam.

Young_Love

And how Adam acknowledges that he doesn't ask Ronan about what he does at the Barns because that's family and family is private and then RONAN TAKES ADAM THERE. 

BECAUSE HE LOVESSSSS HIM. 

OMG I am going to explode when this finally happens.

Jen748

No Joke.

ALSO Gansey and Ronan showing up for Adam's dad's court date. Tears. I had tears.

YES! OMG!!!!!

Yeah, I need to read this one again. 

Young_Love

So, yeah...some other things happened too besides Ronan being dead sexy and Ronan/Adam off the chain sexual tension. 

Like the Gansey/Blue this car ride is a metaphor for all the banging we'll never get to do scene

And Piper! OMG! And Neeve! OMG! And Persephone! OMG!

Young_Love

Oh, and I just saw this on tumblr and it made me LOL:

HE WANTED TO TELL HER IT WASN’T WORTH IT—THAT HE’D GROWN UP WITH THIS SORT OF MAN AND KNEW THEY WERE UNTRAINABLE—BUT THEN SHE’D THROW THE THERMOS AT ADAM’S HEAD AND PROBABLY SLAP THE GUY IN THE MOUTH. IT WAS AMAZING THAT SHE AND RONAN DIDN’T GET ALONG BETTER, BECAUSE THEY WERE DIFFERENT BRANDS OF THE SAME IMPOSSIBLE STUFF.

[…]

BLUE FLASHED HIM A BRILLIANT LOOK OF APPROVAL, AND THEN SHE GOT INTO THE CAR WITH A DRAMATIC DOOR SLAM RONAN WOULD HAVE APPROVED OF.

- That moment you realize Adam Parrish has a type

YES! Love this!

And, what's his face with the dog! (Why can't I remember his name?!) I loved him over the phone/across the pond, but in person he seemed less magical or something. I kept expecting him to actually be working against them.

Young_Love

Malory!

OMG the Dog. Hilarious. 

I think there is more to him. 

Jen748

There is a Monmouth Manufacturing tumblr. I can't figure out how to link on my phone, but basically it's the best thing ever.

SWOON!

I'm really, really going to miss Persephone.  Ugh, why Persephone?!

I LOVED how Ronan and Blue are coming to terms with their relationship.  It was so uneasy, yet easy.  Now I feel like they have a bond that they didn't have before.  Ronan crying? OMG.

And WTF, Neeve? I was worried it was going to be Calla that was working with Piper.  I was thankful it wasn't though.  As much as I hate Piper, I kind of love her too.  Is that weird? She's selfish, but in a fantastic way.  Does that make sense?

We haven't seen the last of Greenmantle, right? I thought that the plot to get rid of him worked a little too well. 

OMG, Gwenllian.  She.is.amazing. She's crazy and fantastic.  I love that she calls Gansey Little Princeling.  She knows so, so much that she's not telling.

::Sigh:: The almost kissing.  It's almost better than actually kissing.

Gansey needs to live and to kiss Blue 1 million times and Adam needs to realize that Ronan is the guy for him.  Ronan, oh Ronan.  He's such an amazing friend underneath that asshole exterior.

Why did I plow through it? Now I have to wait another YEAR. 

Young_Love

I'm SO curious what's going on with the sleepers. WHO is the 3rd sleeper?! What's going to happen?!

Honestly, I think there is something going on with TIME and CABESWATER and GANSEY. It is mentioned SO MANY TIMES that Gansey looks both young and old and that there are many versions of Gansey. And there was that old Camaro wheel that was found. And time doesn't work in Cabeswater or the caves. I think it MEANS SOMETHING. And has something to do with Glendower. And is HOPEFULLY a way for Gansey to die but not die.

Piper is GLORIOUS. I love her. And I agree...this thing with Greenmantle seemed too easy. BUT the boys did put together a pretty awesome plan. 

I can't believe I have to wait so long for the final book. I'm going to explode.

Young_Love

Speaking of GLORIOUS...I continue to love tumblr.

(The guy in the first picture is EXACTLY how I imagine Ronan)

SnShne322

I feel like with each book I have a tougher time picture Adam.   She mentioned it several times about him looking different.  Possibly pleasing to some, not to others.  Greenmantle said something about him being attractive, I think.  All I can picture now is tall, thin, angular and blonde.  His face is blank.

Jen748

I've been wondering about that possibility too, YL. I'm hoping it involves Blue kissing him so that he'll die but live on.

Also, Diddly or whatever his name is...I hated that he died. He had such a bond with Blue, even after only a short time. His death made me so sad.

And Piper is totally creepy, but in a way that makes me excited to see what evil she has planned.

I can't handle a year wait. Why do I do this to myself? WHY???

JESSE DITLEY IS THE BEST EVER. RIP JEESE.

Oh, and I totally started reading this book again. I HAD to after I re-read the first 2.

You know how there was so much foreshadowing in the previous books? I wonder how many things went on in this book that are going to be SO obvious in book 4.

This is EXACTLY why I love these books. And rereading these books. SO MANY LAYERS.

It has also been made ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that Gansey has a bee sting allergy. And that bees should have killed him before but didn't. So...obviously that will have something to do with something. (Maybe relating to Adam's vision in the tree from book 1? Adam would never PURPOSELY do something to harm Gansey, but I think of how Ronan goes to the Barns to dream of hornets...going out of his way to keep Gansey safe and perhaps Adam DOESN'T go to those lengths? Who knows.)

SnShne322

I'm so fascinated by the idea of time being circular.  It's so out of my realm of thinking that I can't wrap my brain around, but I'm SO excited to see how it works out and how it answers the 100 million questions I have.

I also think of how ANGRY Ronan was with Adam in that vision. I can't imagine Ronan being that angry with Adam now that we really know the extent of his feelings, so I'm even more curious about the circumstances here. 

We already saw one of Blue's visions come true in this book, so that gives lots of credibility to the tree visions being accurate. YIKES.

At first I thought maybe it was a dream Gansey, but then why would Ronan be so distraught?  Maybe real Gansey dies and Ronan dreams him?  We know he's capable of dreaming people.  SO MANY THEORIES.

And wait, I think I forget which vision of Blue's came true?

In the first book she had the vision of the car ride with Gansey in this book and how they want to kiss!

Huh, I just reread it and I don't remember this!  I just remember her kissing him finally in her vision.  Oh darn, I need another reread.

LOLOL! She has 2 visions...one of her kissing him and one of her desperately wanting to while they are in the car together.

Oh wait, was it near the end when they are hiding from the stampede? That part is all jumbled in my head.
