I will say, listening to this wasn't the best idea because I found it a little hard to follow in the beginning. Though that might also be because it's been forever since I read The Raven Cycle. But Ronan is one of my favorites, and I enjoyed getting to see his world expanded. And I'll still probably read the rest of the trilogy when they come out! I'm intrigued to see what happens next.

I love Maggie Stiefvater’s writing so. much. I obviously love fantasy as a genre, but the way Stiefvater writes it is unlike any other writer I know. It’s part of her stories—an important part—but they still feel so <i>real</i> and close to the real world. I’m often turned off by (what I feel to be gratuitous) grittiness or violence in stories, but Stiefvater always makes me care enough about the characters that I’ll power through those parts. I loved the Ronan/Adam scenes, though they were few and far between, and I enjoyed getting to know Declan better (shockingly, he’s not nearly as annoying as he seemed). However, I definitely missed the characters and found family from the The Raven Cycle.

This wonderful mindfuck of a book manages to distinguish dreams from dreamers and sinks its teeth into the relationships that exist between them and the people who love them. After reading the raven cycle, I never thought I’d love Declan Lynch, but I do. He would surely get king in the soldier poet king quiz (you are tired of being steady. you dream of feeling alive. not that you aren’t, but sometimes it’s hard to remember that there’s a heart between your ribs etc etc).
