"Gansey breathed out loud. He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn’t want it to be over.
He kept walking."
revisiting this story and its characters felt like coming home after i've lived a little, cried a lot and figured out what i liked from books. maggie stiefvater was right, i have finished this series and i will now feel awful for days. the last 10% was truly so vivid i cannot believe i didn't remember that the first time i read this book.
