I actually liked this, the story of how Matthew was born. Poor Declan wow. A lot of weight on his shoulders. I would recommend reading this post the series.i can't remember when they found out the Ronan dreamed his younger brother. But read this after that book.

This brought more questions then answers and I’m just more sure of Maggie’s absolute genius here. It read like honey and it really just makes me want more.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Declan ever since it was revealed that Ronan thought up Matthew because he wanted a brother to play with him; that realization killed me. Plus, he was protective of his brothers! But the comment of how he wasn’t either of his parents’ favorite was what really sold me. Jeez!
So it’s no surprise that I really loved this short story about him, and it is no surprise that I like and understand him even more! He deserved better.

The Raven Cycle #0.2
"Christmas was complicated, because of the dreaming."
This is a short story about the Lynches which takes place before The Raven Cycle. Ronan's oldest brother, Declan, is struggling to accept the family secrets. He's dreading Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year...

Goddamn it Stiefvater, I did not foresee ending Christmas feeling sympathetic towards the plights and woes of the (formerly) human-killjoy Declan Lynch. But then again, making me love your characters is what you do best.
