Charlotte May's Reviews > The Raven King

“He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn’t want it to be over.”

Exactly how I felt while reading the final instalment of The Raven Cycle. I’m so sad that it is over, but my heart feels so full from all the characters and the drama of this series!

As the search for Glendower draws to its final conclusion, Cabeswater is under threat and a demon threatens to destroy the lives of the gang.

“The darkness wasn’t just in the tunnel; it was inside him.”

The darkest of the four books, there were times when I felt these characters spoke to my soul. I could relate to their fears and their love for each other.

“It was the gnawing suspicion that you were leavable, that you were too much trouble, that you were better off dead.”

Blue, Gansey, Noah, Ronan and Adam feel like family, and I loved watching them grow, and their struggles felt like my own struggles. There are plenty of villains, and magic and wonderfulness!

“Sometimes it wasn’t about saving yourself, it was about holding out for long enough until someone else could save you.”

Maggie’s writing style is phenomenal, her descriptions and characterisations unlike anything I’ve ever read! Thank goodness there is more to come from her or I don’t know how I’d cope!

“If you can’t be unafraid, Henry said, be afraid and happy.”
