at the beginning it was a little hard for me to get interested in the story, but after few chapters I got fully interested in everything and I really loved it. and now I need to read "the dream thieves" because EXCUSE ME BUT WTH WAS THAT LAST PHRASE???

i think this time i loved this book even more than when i read it first, it's just so fun and interesting to see how these characters changed through all the books and yet stayed *them*.

and even though it's still hard to tell if this book has an actual plot or not, it's definitely mainly about getting to know the main characters and man i love them all so much ahhh. also my english reading skills are certainly better than a year ago, so i didn't have to stop to check that many words while reading (only sometimes with latin) and i think it took a big part in the fact that i liked it more this time.

in short, this book is strange, but it's the perfect kind of strange and i am here for it with all my heart.

(also i just love the way Maggie Stiefvater writes phrases you know)

ta seria naprawdę staje się lepsza z każdym rereadem kocham ją (a wiosna naprawdę jest najlepszym czasem na ten tom)
