I enjoyed my time with this book and I still love the characters and the world; However, in my opinion Stievater's strengths as a writer are firmly in atmosphere and character, and this book is trying way too hard to be a plot forward narrative. It takes away from the character moments (which make the book when you do get them) and the atmosphere that made the Raven Cycle so special and that lingered in Call Down The Hawke has completely disappeared by this point. The Plot itself also doesn't hold up that well to scrutiny because, to be frank, If Ronan would have just talked to his boyfriend it would have collapsed. Like seriously, Adam Parrish would have handled this BS in less than 24hrs. 
I will be finishing the series soon, and I have hope for a better finale, but honestly, this was a bit of a let down.
