Sow your blue lotus seeds evenly on top of the underwater soil bed, about 2–3cm apart from each other. After you placed the seeds, cover them with a thin layer of soil or sand. In general, I think this book is one of the best in the series for all the relationships. There is so much fantastic relationship building in this book. Blue and Gansey's relationship makes me more emotional by the minute. I care about Gansey and Adam's vaguely gay friendship so much. I am physically hurt inside by Ronan and Blue being bros.

As they moved through the old barn, Adam felt Ronan’s eyes glance off him and away, his disinterest practiced but incomplete. Adam wondered if anyone else noticed. Part of him wished they did and immediately felt bad, because it was vanity, really: The prologue begins with Persephone on a hilltop, teaching Adam how to tap into the ley line's power. At the same time, Blue and Calla are rifling through Maura's room and discover what Maura already knows - Artemus, her former lover, is underground, and Blue and the boys are part of something much larger. Isn't it the most obscure and abnormal concept that a book filled with random sequences of the alphabet put together to make some sense, can act as a catalyst to generate a chemistry lab full of emotions? Meanwhile, Ronan, Gansey, Adam, and Blue head to the Cabeswater cave, leaving Calla and Matthew at the entrance. The trees warn them not to wake the third sleeper. After making it down the ledge, the four discover a giant valley filled with the skeletons of all kinds of animals. The walls are lined with nests, and the skeletons are all poised to run towards the valleys exit. They are faced with the task of waking them, and Ronan uses his dream ability to accomplish it. Blue and Ronan were able to hop on a creature and ride it through the exit, but Gwenllian, Adam, and Gansey stay trapped in the valley. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him.”If it wasn’t already official, it definitely is now! I’m Maggie Stiefvater trash through and through and I just can’t imagine a world without her books anymore!!! *lol* Aww! Those two! THOSE TWO! I loved how Ronan consoled Blue when she saw her mother in the lake and the fact he handed her the ghost light even though he knew that he would be alone and in the dark!!! OMG! I think this was one of the most precious moments of the entire book and my heart filled with so much warmth when I read it! <3 I really like that they are finally beginning to trust each other and I can’t wait to see more of their friendship!

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her. I felt like I was going to literally experience spontaneous combustion during this book, because I am so ridiculously hooked on these two blooming romances, and how they contrast each other. On the one hand, you have Ronan and Adam, who have every opportunity in the world to be together, but don't know how to put their feelings into words; on the other hand, you have Gansey and Blue, baring their souls to each other in late night phone calls and car drives, desperately trying not to reach for the forbidden fruit. I don't know if my heart can take much more. ❤ Pink lotus is another name for the Indian lotus (Sacred lotus) Nelumbo nucifera, formerly known as Nymphaea nelumbo.

I already knew how dreadful I would feel once I finished Blue Lily, Lily Blue because I’m in love with these books, but I guess I didn’t prepare myself enough because I CAN’T believe I have to wait till April to find out what happens next.

BLLB is the best entry in the series so far and it has set up everything it needs for the conclusion. It has proven itself to me that there’s still a gem to be found in this desert of horrible overhyped series like 'Shade of Magic'. However, for me, it all comes down to the last book of the series on whether Maggie could deliver the conclusion the series deserves to see whether the series truly deserves the hype and praises it gets and I’m going to find out about it now. Spoilers for books 1 & 2 ahead. And, yes, I am going to gush through this entire review. This is your last warning.

Blue Lotus Chemistry To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Ronan takes the first place hands down even without having any chapter from his point of view. Actually, after the intensity of The Dream Thieves, getting to observe him through other's eyes (who am I kidding : through Adam's) was so so so satisfying. I want more, though.
