This book, like the rest of the series, ripped me open and then stitched me back together again. The Raven King is truly a wonderful end to the Raven Boy's and Blue's adventures. I started this series after being recommended. When I did, I had no idea the magnitude of importance this story would hold in my heart. Watching these characters grow up and evolve into better people has motivated me to do the same. I will continue to think about and revisit this story for years to come. I used my library's audiobooks of the Raven Cycle, but after today I will be purchasing the paperbacks so that I can annotate them because even though the series is over, I still have many thoughts. I will cry tonight, I will cry tomorrow, I will probably cry next week, why you ask? This:

"Noah crouched over Gansey's body. He said for the last time, 'You will live because of Glendower. Someone else on the ley line is dying when they should not, and so you will live when you should not.; Gansey died. 'goodbye,' Noah said. 'Don't throw it away.' He quietly slid from time."
