Rating: 5 stars
I...love this series so much? I'm actually scared to get Raven King from the library because then it'll be over?? I will literally never get over my disappointment that I am not in fact a girl who lives in a small town in Virginia and spends her summer running around with four private schoolboys looking for a dead Welsh king.
I cannot express how much I love these characters and their family dynamic? These boys who live in an old factory and decided it was a good idea to put their kitchen in their bathroom? Beautiful. Like, families come in all shapes and sizes. This family is a boat shoe-wearing nerdy reincarnate, an angry Catholic/Celtic teenage farmer, a magical car mechanic, a feminist psychic waitress, and literally the CUTEST GHOST IN THE WORLD. Blue and Noah's friendship was so great obviously and Bluesey was beaUTIFUL (imo we shoulda gotten more Bluesey content in this one lol) and I loved seeing Ronan and Blue slowly become friends. When Gansey and Ronan literally RAN to Adam's court case - I- I love them so much?? That scene may be one of my favorites in this series. Why?? Are?? They?? So??? Great????
And when Blue was back at school and realizing the summer was over and all she would remember of this year was that "it was the year of Glendower" for some reason that make me oddly nostalgic and sad? When Gansey realized he wasn't ready to find Glendower because what would he be after that? I felt so sad for some reason? I really don't want this series to be over after the next book. WHY is it only four books. Why.
This is for sure my favorite series unless Raven King is so terrible it screws over everything but I don't really see that happening lol
