I was not ready for this and I realized it literally in the last chapter.
Okay, I'm going to say it: I was not a fan of this trilogy. I didn't hate the first two books, but they left me unsatisfied; I felt like everything was too focused and so linear and I couldn't get immersed in the story the same way I got caught up with The raven cycle. Maybe I grew out of my love for this series. Maybe I didn't even like the previous series that much. And the I caught myself thinking about how meandering this was getting and oh baby, we're back.
I'm not going to rate this because despite loving the characters so much, finding my groove back and nearly bawling at the fucking myth of creation (how very dare you Stiefvater, what the fuck?) it felt like too little too late. I will forever be grateful to this book for giving me an explanation behind Declan Lynch as a concept, but that's basically it.
Farewell, Lynch brothers, tho. You will be missed.
