I'm so glad I didn't start this series until all of the books were out. I don't think I could read this in real time. 
 This installment was definitely better than book #2, in my opinion. I know The Dream Thieves really set a lot of things up for this book (and probably the 4th book) and that it was necessary, but this one was SO good. 
 I'm going to have to hide most of this review because of spoilers, so don't read it if you haven't read the book yet! 
 (view spoiler)[ I loved the interactions between Gansey and Blue in this installment. It's so heartbreaking and I just want them to be together so badly. I definitely ship it. Adam has had a ton of character growth lately and I really enjoy that. I'm glad that he got to learn so much from Persephone and that he is finally accepting his role with Cabeswater due to the sacrifice that he made. Gwen. Well she was something else! I liked that she was able to explain to Blue what she was (the mirror thing) and that it is what helped Blue in the end with the lake. I wonder what will happen to her? Will she stay living at Fox Way? Persephone seemed adamant that she stay there, but now with Persephone gone (ugh, so heartbreaking) will the others in the house let Gwen stay with all of her craziness? What is going to happen with Artemus and Maura and The Gray Man? What year does Artemus think it is? What all does he know? (hide spoiler)] 
 Again with the cliffhanger endings, Maggie. Although I had been waiting for (view spoiler)[ Neeve's return (hide spoiler)] I wonder what will happen now that she and (view spoiler)[ Piper have woken this "third sleeper". Who will get the favor? Will it be Piper or Neeve? Where has Neeve been this whole time? She was described as being plump, but I don't remember that being her description from the first book.... So many questions!! (hide spoiler)]
