bryde.after the previous books establish him as a such a key figure, well, i was confused by his purpose.

stiefvater's stiefvaterism, which i usually eat up, struck me as contrived, i was frustrated by how the trilogy's supposed central character is sidelined for much of this book, carmen farooq-lane really annoyed me and so did jordan & hennessy (all of whom i previously was fond of), declan too was kind of a let down in this one. the more i read the more i struggled to reconcile myself with the existence of this book and that it wasn't something from a half-arsed dream of mine. having loved every TRC book and book 1 and 2 in this dreamer trilogy, i wasn't even worried about not loving this.

Look, i don't know what to say or write besides me not liking this book is one big & unwelcome twist. Review to come if & when i am emotionally ready.
