A review by bibliorow
Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

5.0

I don't know how to quantify my feelings into words. I don't think it's possible. I don't even want to try, because I won't make sense and I wouldn't be able to do it properly.

Maggie Stiefvater is undoubtedly a spectacularly talented author, and she has created a world unlike anything I have ever seen, heard, or read before. I really believe no other series I ever read for the rest of my life will be able to match up to the world of the Raven Cycle. There are so many moving parts to it, and so much magic. Maggie has created an ourobouros of a story that I could never, ever have imagined. The Raven Cycle has always been a thing of beauty to me, and will always remain that way. It will never lose its magic, but The Dreamer Trilogy is something even more ethereal. It changes the entire perspective of The Raven Cycle. It turns the entire world on its head in mind-bending ways. It answers so many questions, and yet still leaves more unanswered.

Maggie's talent for the craft is unmatched. I can't say how much this world and these characters she's created have meant to me for so many years, and how much these stories have influenced my life. All the words in the world aren't enough. I'm just truly in awe. I'm mourning the end of this series and the end of this world, but at the same time, it's unforgettable, and that means it will never truly end.

Five stars isn't enough. It's such a small limit to contain the depths of feeling this series inspires. Too small a number.

I would go back to school just to write an essay on this book and everything it holds. It's not just a book; it's an art piece. It was both everything I wanted and nothing I expected, all the things I didn't know I needed from the end of this world, and it is simply stunning from cover to cover.

It's magic. Pure magic. And it will be a part of my heart forever. But my heart doesn't even feel big enough to hold it.
