I must say, I expected a little more from the ending but overall I really enjoyed the series! I do feel like there were some questions left unanswered and some things I would have liked to see play out, but I still thought it was good. Recommend if you like something dark, mysterious, and magical!

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.

At this point in the series, I entirely trusted the author for delivering a perfect ending, and I got it with The Raven King. It's not often that I read a series until the end. Usually I stop after volume 1. But when I first read The Raven Boys, I knew I was onto something special and so I found second-hand copies of volumes 2 to 4 and waited patiently for the right time to read them a few years later. 2023 was that time.
Evenin volume 4 Maggie Stiefvater weaves the now-familiar with the unexpected. I won't spoil you, but there are snippets of horror in there that creeped me out. And yet they were so perfect for the story. I'm really happy with this last volume in this weird, hard-to-grasp series with such endearing and human characters. I'll be revisiting Cabeswater in the future, that's certain.
Rep: gay character, bisexual character.
