This book was an amazing ending to an amazing trilogy. The callbacks throughout the book were amazing yet the book was still a new story and a rollercoaster story at that. Throughout the book, I was kept on my toes and I was continuously surprised.
A conclusive ending? In this economy? I'm thrilled.
Favorite quote: "'Whoa, whoa, whoa' said Hennessy. 'Pump the brakes, as the Pope would say'" (p.203)
Also, I love Matthew asking Bryde if Bryde knew if Bryde had bones.

Este libro me ha destrozado emocionalmente. De por si llevo un par de meses mal, fatal, y este libro ha decidido terminar conmigo. Finish them y todo eso. Sinceramente no sabía que iba a pasar, no sabía por donde iba a salir Maggie con esta última entrega y ha sido todo lo que quería Y MÁS. EL EPÍLOGO?? HERMANA NO TENÍAS QUE VENIR A POR NOSOTRES DE ESTA MANERA. AND YET YOU DID!! Me siento satisfecho con este final porque me ha dolido mucho y me he quedado vacío. Me ha sabido a poco, y por eso sé q me encanta. Curioso.
Procedo con spoilers (censuraos, beware) porque normalmente no me da por gritarlos aquí PERO ES QUE ES UNA NECESIDAD.
You were the story I chose for myself.

Lo que si me ha descolocado un poco ha sido Nathan. Lo único que realmente ha tenido de presencia ha sido como el remordimiento involuntario de Carmen de haberlo matado, pero que yo recuerde no han habido pistas o migas de que la fuera a liar, o de que todo estuviera yendo con su plan. Si que es verdad que el único motivo por el que se presenta en este libro es porque en Mister Impossible, Hennessy apaga la línea ley y por ello quiere volver a activarla, para traer el Lace y yadayada, pero... Es que es quien estaba detrás de los Moderadores, no sé, dale Maggie una miaja aunque sea de sospecha no?Spoiler
Eso si. ESO SI. NECESITO UNA SHORT STORY DE LA BODA PYNCH LO NECESITO EN VENA. PERO TAMBIÉN NECESITO UN LIBRITO DE COMO LES HA IDO LA VIDA A GANSEY Y BLUE POR ESOS LARES, DALE REINA SI LO MENCIONAS Y TODO!!

I have complicated feelings for this series as a whole, but perhaps particularly this installment. I love this series, but I think I would like it better if it and The Raven Cycle were their own separate monsters. As much as I love Ronan Lynch and was excited to see him with his own series, I think that the differences between the two series were just too stark.
I understand where Maggie was coming from - this was never supposed to be a true sequel to the original series. It was its own thing. Ronan’s own thing. Which is… fine. But I feel like that severe of a separation warped any enjoyment I would have gotten from the series if they weren’t related. The fact that we get a cameo from Blue and Gansey and Henry at all was a miracle. I understand that this series was about the brothers, but the fact that Ronan was so completely separated from the rest of the characters from The Raven Cycle (minus his brothers and Adam) felt forced. It felt like it was forcing a character that you really liked writing into a setting that should have called for a new character altogether.
So—complicated feelings. I loved the series. Truly, I did. Not as much as The Raven Cycle, because that was never going to happen. But I loved Jordan and Hennessy even when I hated them. Their love and hatred and bitterness for each other was hard sometimes. Hennessy herself is such a vibrant character, daring the world to dislike her for her loudness, her brashness, her humor. I loved them. I loved Jordan and Declan, the glimpses we get of how well they work together. I loved Hennessy and Ronan’s dynamic, even though we don’t see much of it in this installation, their dark humor that they bounce back and forth between each other. I also really did grow a soft spot for Carmen too. Her fire, her opera, the painting that Hennessy made of her. The tragedy of Lilliana. The mouse. That kiss?!
So many things that I loved about this series, but also so many things that I didn’t. So many things that could have been better if it were a new cast of characters rather than twisting the old ones to try to fit a new mold. Maybe I’m just tired and bitter, but I don’t know. I WAS hoping for more. But I felt a similar way about The Raven King, so maybe it’s just my curse to not be fully satisfied by the endings of Maggie’s series.
I think I’m going to have to read both series again to get my feelings completely in order but mostly? I’m just glad that Ronan can rest.
