This book was a fucking amazing read. I am still in shock and it makes me want to reread the entire series I'm just stunned by how beautiful this was. No words, just go read it and experience the magic of it all.

I thought that this was a good conclusion to The Raven Cycle. I loved the writing style, and the main characters were so well developed. However, I think there were too many characters that weren’t necessary for the plot, which meant the plot was a bit slow in places or some parts of the book didn’t really feel that connected to the whole story of the series. I did find that a part of the ending was a bit disappointing, but I can understand why Maggie Stiefvater chose to write the ending that way.

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.

9/10. Loved the addition of Henry even though I wasn't sure I was going to. Was satisfied with the ending. Glad that the sets of couples got together. I am continually impressed how the author can do things that I would have never guessed would happen yet feel so right. Great book.

This was definitely my favorite of the series. So much action and just enough of the relationship stuff to not take away from the magic. Adam is still my least favorite but after this I hate him a little less than before
