THAT SAID, out of the three books in this series that i've read thus far, this is my least favorite. again, it was really good! just not my favorite. there's so much happening everywhere all the time with everyone and everything felt kind of scattered? so all the elements of the story kind of just... float aimlessly towards the ending? i don't know. i felt i was kind of grabbing at too many strings at the same time, and it made the story feel perhaps longer than it was. could be because this is also the book that's taken me by far the longest to finish cause i've been busy!
can't wait to dig into trk!
also, i was half expecting neeve to make a comeback sooner or later, but i wasn't expecting that ending! she knew piper's name but the latter hadn't ever told her what it was. so either she guessed it with her powers somehow, since she's such a powerful psychic, or she was there the whole time and overheard it when blue, the gray man, etc... were still there. creepy. why does she even make an appearance such a long time after they escape? like did she just stand there watching piper fading in and out of consciousness for however long that was???
i don't know how i feel about gwenllian! and i'm having trouble believing the guy blue found with maura actually is THEE artemus???? guess we'll see.

I just...I love this series to much.
High Lights
- This world, guys. THIS WORLD. It's faaabulous. It sucks you in from the very first page and keeps you captive until the very end. I should really read more magical realism because I LOVE THIS.
- I love how lyrical and poetic and gorgeous the writing is, while also being totally relatable, with perfect metaphors and phrasing. It's punchy and crisp and I love it to bits.
- THE CHARACTERS. I could go on for eons about the characters, but you probably already know by now that I love them with all my heart. I also really like how we're kind of getting each of the boys' stories spanned across the series. This time, we got to see mostly Adam's story, and it was FASCINATING. I always had a soft spot for him, but this book just made me love him sooo much more. It was so lovely.
- THAT ENDING. WAS INSANE. The epilogue just about gave me a heart attack. XD
- Just...all the emotions that this book gave me. I want to soak them all in and treasure them forever.
Low Lights
- As always, there was a lot more language than I cared for, which was upsetting, but it didn't detract from the story too violently.
Conclusion
If you've read the first two books, and you've loved them as much as I have, then you are surely going to read this one and love it just as much. I am SO PUMPED for the finale!! :D

Another solid part in The raven cycle. I still need some more from the story.
Review previously placed on my blog:
I'm currently reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater. This is the third book in The raven cycle. I'm listening to the audiobook that I got for free from Spotify.
