What an amazing conclusion to a trilogy and a universe where I fell in love with almost all the characters. I cried so many times, gripped the edges (of my Kindle) as I tore through this. As much as I love Ronan, I loved that the attention on him eased up to focus on other characters who were also very pivotal to the overall plot arc. I got exactly what I needed from this series and I will never be the same.

Anyway, I wanted more Ronan in this. While getting to see more of Declan was great, Ronan was one of my favorite characters from The Raven Cycle, and he's not in much of this particular book, until the end. Give me more of Ronan, please!
If you are a fan of the Raven Cycle, you will love the way this brings both of the trilogies together at the end. It's a good send off for characters that so many people love. Overall, once I got rid of the cobwebs, I did enjoy this finale of the Raven Cycle world.

If you're on the fence bc you're not sure about the ending, I will put EXTREMELY MILD spoilers under the cut.
Do Adam and Ronan reconcile/end up together and happy:
Spoiler
Extremely firmly YES.When does Gansey show up:
Spoiler
Not until the epilogue, sorry.Is there major character death:
Spoiler
NO. One character does die but I would say they're a secondary or even tertiary character.Graphic: Gun violence
Minor: Kidnapping and Death of parent

For injury detail, the worst is a brief mention of mutilation (eyes, ears, hands removed). Not overly specific/descriptive.
