A great ending to a great series! Something felt a little lackluster about it, however. I could've seen the ending go multiple different ways and I'm just a tad disappointed that it wasn't as genius as I thought it was going to be.
I would've loved to have Gansey be Glendower all along. It would call back to when he originally died, Glendower was dying when he wasn't supposed to instead of Noah, and then he passes his power through the ley line to Gansey to keep that power alive. Gansey then helps Noah pass on, (a life for a life) to kill the demon, they live happily ever after amen. <end spoiler>  Sighs. Yep that's it.
