"on the seventh day, the lynch brothers discovered they were friends once more"

the last few pages of this book were not good for me emotionally but here we are. maggie stiefvater you are a fucking genius and sorry for Ever doubting you. i will love these characters until i breathe my very last breath and i will miss them forever but i am so happy they got the ending they all deserved. i am Devastated. 

(also the blue and gansey cameo was what finally broke me after reading that the tears just kept coming)

(i feel very normal about this book)

I don't think Greywaren was as strong as the first two in the trilogy. It doesn't stand on its own very well, and I think there is a way for this to have been a duology. I truly do not care about Carmen/Carmen and Liliana's relationship. HOWEVER. It was ALL worth it for the epilogue, the emotions, the reunion of our boys (thank god). I wish there had been more internal Ronan and Adam character exploration, but overall I am contented.

If you're on the fence bc you're not sure about the ending, I will put EXTREMELY MILD spoilers under the cut.
Do Adam and Ronan reconcile/end up together and happy:

Extremely firmly YES.

When does Gansey show up:

Not until the epilogue, sorry.

Is there major character death:

NO. One character does die but I would say they're a secondary or even tertiary character.
