I'm a sucker for sci-fi/fantasy books about unlikely friendships and found family. Throw in at least one queer (and/or Jewish) character, and I'll definitely read it. Somehow The Raven Cycle series still managed to exceed my already high expectations for it. The prose is luscious, the atmosphere is tantalizingly mysterious, and the characters are so easy to love. Just don't expect the plot to always make sense; it gets chaotic at times.

This has got to be my favorite installment in the series— this statement being a staple in every review I give after I read each installment of The Raven Cycle. It just keeps getting better. It's so well done, well written. I am fascinated and I still continually ask myself if it has been this articulate since the first one. I am excited to find the answer as I plan to revisit the whole series.

This was so enjoyable. Reading Maggie's Acknowledgments telling me that this series took 10 years in the making made me nod and think I wager it is worth every creative process done wearing pyjamas and a cup of coffee in one hand because it's amazing.

I love Ronan and Adam, I love Gansey and Blue and Henry. I love Noah. I love them all.

Wahhh!!!!!! Phenomenal close to this series!!!!!!! When I started this series, I was not expecting to feel this way about the story or the characters by the end. Honestly, I was passing time while dad was in surgery and now I'm in so fucking deep.
