The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
Actual Rating: 4.50
Minus points for saying "Depending on where you began the story" way too many times; for the entire existence of the Laumonier triplets who added literally NOTHING to the story; wasted pages about Piper and her super lame husband; the disappointment of what was in that final cave; and for a rushed feeling climax.
Plus point for Henry Cheng (bless his soul); the wonderful friendship of this group; the lovely, haunting writing; Ronan's whole arc; the openness for future books; the bird chasing scene; and that my favorite character (for once!) DID NOT DIE.
I'm looking forwards to a reread of this series at some point. Definitely a completely original, gorgeous series that I'm sad to see come to a close...but it feels right.
