Summary:
Every psychic Blue has ever met has told her that if she kisses her true love, she will die--which is a lot of psychics, since Blue's mom and aunts all have the sight. Because of this, she generally stays away from boys. And because the boys who go to the rich all-boys school in her town are bastards, she avoids them even more diligently. But when she sees a boy called Gansey on St. Marks eve, meaning both that he's going to die in the next year and that Blue is either his true love or his murderer, Blue begins to draw closer and closer to Gansey and his small group of friends as they hunt for the lost Welsh King Owen Glendower
Thoughts:
It was a little hard to be enthusiastic about the book itself, since I had just read it less than a month prior, but I really enjoyed the experience of double-annotating. I got to follow Ada's already set aesthetic of annotations, and both create new notes and add on to hers. It felt like a more monumental and permanent version of texting while reading and I loved it. I can't wait to read and annotate the rest of the series.
