This is a very good book. Especially considering that i was written 10 years ago. It was exactly my level of creepy. Not scary. I cannot tolerate scary. The characters are great, it is so very engaging, good dialogues, supernatural, witchy, dark academia, perfect for a busy fall read for people who do not want to be scared but do not want to feel left out either. Would recommand. I do not think that the ending is very strong. (But I guess it’s okay considering that it is a first in a series.)

The menace I would be if I read this book in middle school when it first came out. My parents already had to indulge my PJ Greek Mythology and HG archery obsessions, if I added ley lines into that with a sprinkle of Latin bc of this book, they would lose it. I know that I would have loved it back then though but I’m glad I found my way to it eventually bc now it will be a healthier temporary hyperfixation whilst I inhale the rest of the series. I’m also glad bc I would deffo make being like Gansey my entire personality and I’ve already ended up being a mum friend so it could only get worse.

Characters oh how much I love every single one of them. And how much they love each other. Peak quality found family trope, 11/10. Healthy friendship between boys? Look at that, it can be done without toxic masculinity and fighting over a girl. But more importantly - every character here deserves a hug. Those boys have so much trauma that their issues have their own issues, my little boys you deserve the world.

The plot is also great, but I admit that I was itching for the MCs to meet each other earlier on in the book but bc it’s a series I understand why the author was taking their time with it. This is mostly me being petty bc every time the 5 of them interact my heart grows 4984 times in size.

Needless to say, I’m on my way to the library for the next instalment
