Time is running out for Gansey to find the Welsh King Glendower and save himself from being killed. He has spent months with his friends, Blue, Ronan, Adam and Noah, and finally the gang may have found a lead to where the king is buried. But with a magical forest that may not be on their side, they must be quick in making their choices, as it could be the end for Gansey, and the end of The Raven Boys as they know it.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW ONE OF THE BEST FINALES TO ANY BOOK EVER! I have pretty much been on a Raven Cycle kick these past couple of months, and this book left me laughing, crying, sobbing and gasping all the way through. Ms. Stiefvater managed to make an absolutely wonderful conclusion, and this is one series that I will never let die.

The ending was something so unexpected that it kept me flipping pages just to see what happens! I literally broke down into tears when Gansey asked Blue to kiss him, I thought that it would be all over for him. But then he came back and I was like WOAH! I've never been more relieved with a book in my life. The ending gave me so much closure and left me feeling content and happy.

Each character got an equal amount of page time and I was so thrilled with Adam and Ronan finally getting together! It was like FINALLY THE SHIP I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! It was amazing to see their relationship blossom, and they are by far my favourite relationship of the series. 

The one-liners in this book were once again so hilarious and amazing, and I love how this series isn't all drama. It can be relatable, it can be sarcastic, and it can be so hilarious sometimes! Like I said before, you will laugh, you will cry, and you will be happy.

So that's it for all my Raven Cycle reviews! I'm so thankful that I picked this series up, as it has literally changed my life for the better.
