This is by far one of my favorite books and I feel that I can safely say this is the best written book of the raven cycle. I have my own personal feelings about Maggie but she did a wonderful job challenging the characters and the reader in the final installment of this wondrous series. While, as with all the books, the magic is impressive but my favorite part has always been how well these characters capture the difficulty of growing up, navigating family and friends, and growing out of former images. I strongly, strongly recommend.

AN EPIC FINALE! It's no secret that I've fallen in love with THE RAVEN CYCLE. THE RAVEN KING was a sometimes iffy finale to what I can say is my current favorite series of all time.  

I loved that Henry has become a part of the group and that Noah was finally able to pass on after being tormented throughout the past two books and in general a tumultuous ghostly experience. I'm happy that Henry, Gansey, and Blue are hanging out. Happy that Adam is off to college. Happy that Ronan is free of Aglionby and is dreaming peacefully at his home which he loves. I hope Gansey and Blue work out, as well as Ronan and Adam. I hope Henry, Blue, and Gansey go to Venezuela. I wish nothing but happiness for them, as well as the women of Fox Way.

These characters have become so near and dear to me in the past few months. I don't think I'll forget the feeling of reading these books for the first time whilst listening to the most perfect playlists. Discussing them with other people who are lovers of the series. Even though I have criticisms about the representation in this series and the way it unfolded, in the end, Maggie Stiefvater created a series that captured me and pulled me out of a reading slump. THE RAVEN CYCLE I will never forget you.

This series was really lovely to read.  All the characters were written well, with details that brought them to life more and more with each chapter.  The plot was good and I really enjoyed the writing style.  In the re-read though I’m kinda disappointed there isn’t more, the ending just wasn’t as satisfying as I remember it.  The ending of this book isn’t bad it just feels like there could have been more, either way I loved this series and it’s definitely a comfort to read.
