It is no secret that I love this series and it is no secret that I would read anything Maggie Stiefvater wrote. It took me a good nights sleep and distracting myself from the content of this book, because it made me feel so many things and it was quite overwhelming, for me to finally piece together in my mind what I thought about it. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 Having met Maggie, and having read her blog post about the debut of this book, the ending of this book makes a lot of sense. She wanted readers to want things after the book was over and to keep them in the dark a little bit, to think about the book long after it was over. 
 Yes, I will be thinking about this book after it's over, but not necessarily in the way I think she wants people to be, in exactly the way she wants people to be thinking about it (No, not a typo). And there is just one thing I cannot get over about this series. 
 I cannot believe, that after the quest for Glendower that has consumed entire years of Gansey's life, that he is going on a road trip, with no further plans to go on an epic quest. 
 Gansey who has been discussed for 1,800 pages as being a King, a seeker of quests, born to find all things magical. He doesn't have any other desire to go on another quest? 
 I'm so happy for him, yes. He has Blue, and Henry, and all of his friends are alive. He survived death, twice, and now gets to enjoy a life much more mundane and normal, per se. 
 And maybe thats what makes a hero, that after their epic quest they can enjoy some peace. Unlike some heros, that die at the end of their quest and living on in name alone, Gansey gets another chance and that's why the ending is so magical. He gets an after. 
 I guess I just wanted a better glimpse into the future. Perhaps, because I have become just as curious about him as every other character in the series, and when Maggie says she wanted readers to want more , she absolutely succeeded. 
 I love the book, but I wanted more magic to live on through the ending, past Ronan dreaming. I wanted a glimpse into the dream. I wanted them dream world to continue. I feel like I've been carrying around a good luck charm that I've suddenly misplaced and it's greatly troubling. 
 I think I just expected my heart to explode at the end because I had so many expectations and this book series has been inflating a balloon of a heart in my chest for years and instead of exploding, all the air just sort of calmly let out in the last 15 pages. I kinda wanted it to explode. 
 This is, however, not to say that I didn't love everything else about this book. The writing, the characters, the...everything. I loved every page turn. I am so in love with this series. Maybe I just didn't want it to end. Correction, I definitely didn't want it to end.

 Overall, this book was amazing. I had to finish most of it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down and had to know how it ended. I think for myself and many others, this series will never end, a Cabeswater forest of our own to revisit when we need to feel the sense of a greatness beyond what we already know, and to inspire us when life becomes overwhelmingly mundane. For the listless and uncaged minds, forever imprinted with ravens in our peripheral vision.
