Before I read this book, I was under the impression that with books, I had a stone heart. But this book, parts of it just hit home, I have never truly FELT so moved by a book. And what I love so much is Jordan's struggle with being only a part of someone else, how she struggles to wrench free from her bounds and from this life she had no choice in coming into. It is almost as if she is an only child, trapped by tge confines of her parents but trying to grow up, grow out, but she is held back because she's expected to stay, expected to be the same. I loved this book, the characters touch my heart like nothing before, and I can't wait to read the next book. :)

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.

I love these characters so deeply it is painful. And I definitely loved this book, primarily because of the characters. The way that Maggie Stiefvater fleshes out each character in such a detailed way and weaves together each of their individual stories together is my favorite thing about the books she writes, and in particular, any book within this raven cycle realm. I loved getting to know Declan more throughout this book, and absolutely grew to love Jordan very quickly as well. The only reason this one isn't getting five stars from me is that the plot didn't really pull me in this time. I was already very invested in these characters (mainly Ronan and Adam) and kept reading to see more of them, and then slowly became more invested as more of the individual characters were developed. The plot itself was very much so a background element of the book for me. Aside from that, I am an absolute sucker for Maggie Stiefvater's writing and almost every romantic element she writes has my heart squeezing in my chest it is so good. I will forever be obsessed with Ronan and Adam and every scene with them together was literal perfection. Very much so looking forward to book 2.
