Opal by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
This novella is such a beautiful perspective on Ronan and Adam and their lives.
Opal is childlike but also quite wise, in her own dream-object way. She knows Ronan, but she doesn’t know his world. Her confusion at the world is so innocent and actually rather relatable. Her frustration at rules that mean nothing to her made complete sense to me. Her curiosity about not only the world around her but ‘animal’ (human) emotion/relationships was fascinating and, at least for me, completely understandable.
I love reading the perspective of children or child-like characters so this was right down my street.
It’s written beautifully, in a way that made me laugh and then made my heart ache.
For anyone that has just finished the Raven Cycle and aching for just a little more - read this!
