Based on what you've told me, don't read it. Don't get me wrong, I think they're good books (except the third. Fuck you for the third book, Steifvater), but some of the voices are very similar, and huuuuuuuuuge portions of the book are dedicated to character development and romance.

The prose is still gorgeous. I love her prose. Her prose makes me sob into my tea cup and scare my cat. And I happen to think TRC characters are some of her best, so there is that.

There are some moments where her take on the token poor kid, the non-existent minorities, the one mentally disabled person, the fetishization of Irish culture, and the part where rural Virginians are either sittin' on their porches lending each other shugah, or flying the Confederate flag, that just make me side-eye her.

Why do you hate the third book so much, if I may ask? Huge fan of the whole series over here, but I'm always interested to hear other takes and criticisms, and I don't think I've heard much negativity towards BLLB in particular.

Alright, thank you very much! :)
