adventurous emotional funny medium-paced

4.0

It's been a while since a book made me feel this shocked, excited and happy at the same time but here we are. I already can see myself rereading over and over, what a beautiful conclusion to the raven boys and Blue's story.
Only thing I'm complaining a bit is how anticlimactic some moments + the epilogue felt, kinda makes me wish that if this book had been longer.

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.
