I was simultaneously highly engaged by this story, and highly annoyed. I listened to the audiobook, and for the most part I adore Will Patton (*exception noted below). (And, as a result, I may misspell some names - although I looked up the more difficult ones.)
I love fantasy, and myth, and Arthurian legends and magical forests and romance, and this series has it all going on. I love the idea of Cabeswater, I love the magical thinking trees, and how Gwenllian is a part of it. And "The Unmaker" is ...more

So, this is the final book of the series and I have mixed emotions about it. The writing was as good as the previous 3, and I actually really liked it when a chapter would begin with, "Depending on when you started the story, it was the story of Piper, or Henry, or whoever."

This is the fourth and final book in the Raven Boys series. I love the way Steifvater describes things, the way she builds tension, her settings, her characters and her ability to make the supernatural seem like it could happen.

Okay, now I can breath again. This is definitely a series that I will probably buy at some point. I liked the ending, which makes the whole thing worth it and I loved how the relationships turned out. But definitely there are some dark moments to this series.
one of my favorite series of all time...i can't believe it took me this long to read it....

This was the weakest out of all of the books. It's also a book I've been trying to read for ages but would get stuck. I finally went over the hump and am glad for it. Lot of things in this didn't make sense and kept jumping around a bit. It still had that magical quality I liked in the other books though and liked the ending.

Oh, how to review this without spoilers... ? Let's just say, I loved every minute of it. Some parts surprised me, but then they made sense at the same time. Gansey, Blue, Adam, Ronan, Noah. Maybe one day we will meet again.
