Plot
Blue is a 16 year old girl who has been told her whole live that when she kisses her soulmate he would die. She vowed to never kissed a boy in her life. But when she helps her clairvoyant aunt at the church on St Mark’s eve, she sees the ghost of a boy who is fated to die that year. She is told that the only reason she would be able to she him is if he’s her soulmate or if she is the person that kills him. He’s name is Gansey and she soon finds out that he’s on a mission to find the legendary king Glendower. Gansey isn’t doing this alone. He is part of a close knit group who searches for the king together.
The plot of this book is surprising. The book has a lot of twists and turns and doesn’t shy away from the darker parts of life, so if you decide to read it check the triggerwarnings!
Characters
The characters are very lovable, at least they are in my opinion. They have been very well done. All the characters have flaws and good sides. They are very well rounded and believable.
Worldbuilding
This book is part of the fantasy realism genre. That means that the story plays out in our world. Maggie Stiefvater has created an extra layer to our own world and does this tremendously well. I really enjoyed reading this story in her world!
Recommendations
I would for hundred procent recommend this book. I think fans of beautiful creatures and Legendborn would particularly enjoy this one!
