A review by brbooks
Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

5.0

It’s bittersweet to finish this series. Ronan and the Lynch brothers have been with me for 10 years at this point in some variation. To learn about the origin of their family, to not have everything quite make sense, to watch Maggie unfold the tale of the Lynch family… it’s beautiful.

I almost cried at the end of this novel, not from the content of the book, but because it was beautiful- and I love these characters.

Do I have to suspend some of my disbelief because I’m a haggard old crone the world has shaped into a cynic? Yes. Is that ok? Yes.

I love this world, and it always felt more like a quest than a story. When the hero’s lose their way in the middle and have to readjust (like Ulysses). This story didn’t follow a straight line, up and down plot. It’s not for everyone- but it felt truer to the first book, it felt real, and I can’t wait to see what Maggie comes up with next.
