Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

I didn’t love the dreamers trilogy the way I love The Raven Cycle. It filled me with a different sort of less solvable tension. It all worked out much better than it seemed it would. I liked fewer characters. I felt devastated constantly. The proposal was the most perfect true to character part. I still don’t really care for Carmen or Liliana. Love the development of the brothers characters. Especially Declan. I am so happy he got some truth and relief from all his misery. I see how Ronan’s origins worked in this story and how it saved things at the end. I don’t like that he wasn’t just a human with special talents. But I like how he chose his path. That seems big. Maybe the series was designed that way but the whole trilogy seemed too big for even suspension of disbelief. I half expected and three quarters hoped it would end as all having been a dream. It was messy. Stressful. TRC was stressful because I cared so much about everyone. TDT was just stressful.
