“Readers of Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle—of which there are many—will greet this final chapter with fanfare and sadness. Bidding farewell to Blue, Gansey and the amazing world Stiefvater’s created is no easy task. The many threads she’s fashioned over the past three books continue to weave together and apart, to then merge in new and surprising ways. The prose is such that you’ll be dog-earing pages to mark perfectly rendered passages for further examination. An excellent ending to a fantastic—and fantastical—series.”
