Opal by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0
""Sometimes the way you are is a real pain," he added, but she could tell he said it fondly.
It felt like it was going to be okay."
This review is going to be a bit fragmented and all over the place simply because this story is so short, so sorry about that!
Anyway, I really did enjoy this! I've been deprived of TRC related content, so this was such a breath of fresh air. The writing was amazing (as always when it comes to Maggie), and Opal was so adorable! I especially love her relationship with Adam- it makes me so happy, the fact that Opal adores him so much and he her.
And Pynch (Ronan/Adam)!!! Oh my god, I love them so much. They're one of my favorite couples in all of literature and I absolutely loved seeing them in action (in a relationship!!!!) in this story. Ronan making Adam laugh a lot is soooooo cute I can't handle it. Their relationship is so GOOD and healthy and aahhh I adore them endlessly.
The reason I deducted a star is because of something that quite a few people have brought up after reading this, It made me very uncomfortable.
Hopefully she learns from her mistakes, because I do really want to read the Dreamer Trilogy. This story ended on a very interesting and good note, and I'm really excited to see where Ronan's story takes us!

However, Adam not getting into his top choice for Uni is such bs!!!! He deserves everything, I'm so sad. :( Whyyy Maggie?????The reason I deducted a star is because of something that quite a few people have brought up after reading this,

and that is the scene in which Opal kind of like... watches Adam and Ronan have sex? I don't know (I don't think I misinterpreted it but let me know if I did!), but the thought of that is so gross and just inappropriate. I mean, she's a child! I know Pynch is an extremely popular ship and everything, but Maggie didn't have to write that scene in. If she really wanted to let us know that Adam and Ronan have sex or whatever, she could have just tweeted it or included it in the Dreamer Trilogy. It was super unnecessary and frankly immoral, in my opinion.Hopefully she learns from her mistakes, because I do really want to read the Dreamer Trilogy. This story ended on a very interesting and good note, and I'm really excited to see where Ronan's story takes us!
