I finished the raven cycle and I have SO MANY THOUGHTS
this series has the best portrayal of platonic love I've ever seen, the relationships between all the characters felt so natural and incredibly well written. none of the transitions to romantic relationships felt forced because it seemed so obvious "of course they love eachother, EVERYONE loves EVERYONE"
So obviously my love for all of these characters is unmatched but I would commit unspeakable crimes for blue sargent
Piper as an antagonist???? amazing beautiful perfect. her being manipulated by the demon was so cool to see, her transition from being green mantles wife with a semi normal life to "yo dad wassup just murdered my husband and found a new pet *holds up demon* isn't it cute?"
Noah my poor baby boi
stavinsky may have been a horrible person but he was a super interesting character
Chainsaw is the bestest bird to ever bird
gansey and blues relationship and adam and ronans relationship were both amazing and sweet and perfect
obsessed with opal as a short story, Adam and Ronan get to have these super sweet and sad moments in the background meanwhile opal's telling the real important story: her dangerous quest to drink windshield wiper fluid and honestly I'm here for it
i will give a small bit of criticism: the pacing did feel a little bit rushed in some places and there was some jumping around that didn't make a ton of sense
BUT IM IGNORING THAT BECAUSE SEARCHING FOR A LONG DEAD WELSH KING IS SUCH AN AWESOME STORY CONCEPT
Henry Cheng: amazing 10/10 no criticism I just love him
there were some points where I was ready to crawl through the pages and fight adam's father myself
and finally a fandom note: just learned that the main ship names are bluesey and pynch and that is so amazing I love that so much
