So my excitement for this series has waned a bit. I was thrilled to start this book, but then as I got farther and farther into it I grew bored. It took me forever to read this book because I would just put it down and leave it for days. Yes, the premise is still interesting, but no I'm not as fascinated with it as I was before. It just kind of drags on and on and on. 
 The characters are still really fun and diverse. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Ronan and his secrets. Gansey is still freaking awesome. Adam bugs me a bit, but I'm beginning to understand a few things more with the ending. But the Gray Man was...random. Everyone's acceptance of him makes absolutely no sense. (view spoiler)[ He's a freaking hit man and no one bats an eyelash at this. What the actual f***? (hide spoiler)] And I surely hope they talk a bit more about his brother, because I wasn't invested in his story at all. 
 Overall, there are still elements of the story that intrigue me, but I'm in no rush whatsoever to get to the next book. I was super disappointed with how much the book dragged and the random bits.
