As I've said throughout the course of this series, I can't even begin to tell you the details of the paranormal stuff/magic system in this book. At first, I found the constant confusion and feelings of not being able to keep up a bit annoying. But after a while, I just started to settle in for the ride and the vibes, which made reading this series so much more enjoyable. Did I fully understand the ending of this particular book (and therefore the series)? Nope. Was I disappointed by that? Maybe a little (thus the four star rating). But it was so artfully written that I didn't seem to care all that much. In fact, I was still just as absorbed in the story as before.
The characters, as always, stole the show. Again, I grew unexpectedly attached to this little group of pals, particularly over the course of the last two books. But I particularly loved seeing their arcs come full circle, and how each of them came into their own as the story came to a close. It was beautiful and heart-warming and had me smiling from ear-to-ear.
Overall, The Raven Cycle is such a special series. It's kind of hard to explain what I mean by that, so all I can really say is read these books if you haven't all ready. I don't think you'll regret it.

I regret nothing! I liked how this book was more explicit in the nightmare scenes, I was totally creeped out several times. I LOVE the characters, I can't believe their story is over.
For me personally, this last book didn't quite live up to its potential. I enjoyed the writing style but towards the end it became a little repetitive. Some of the newly introduced characters were irrelevant to the overall story (in my opinion) and instead of those chapters I would've liked more Noah content or the friend group. That's just personal preferences tho.
Overall, it's a good book!!
