  Once I've read a review on one of the books and it said something like "I love my Raven boys so much..." And in that very moment I was astonished. What do you mean "my" Raven boys? How can they be yours if they are mine, only mine and I'm never sharing. Moments later I've relieved the shock and told to myself, calm down, it's just a series, of course a lot of people like it. But no, it's not just a series. It's something so very special and thanks to Meggie, whose writing is so beautiful and profound that she makes each and everyone think that the Raven boys belong only to that reader. And it's true, in some way.

  This story made me feel in so many ways. It took me 3 years, I've waited for releases and never read them straight away, I've always left the books for "the better times". And it's not about the magic or the adventures (though those are perfect, no denial) it's about the boys. My boys, oh, wait, our boys. I will miss them so very bad because I love them. Thank you, Maggie Stiefvater for creating this beautiful story that made my heart beat faster, that deprived me of sleep. She always made me feel surprised, something in this particular book made me even mad but I've wrapped my head around it and understood that it is simply the way it is. If I want my Raven boys to feel real (somehow they always felt real) I should accept them the way they are. One day, when I'll meet this beautiful woman, I will make her take me to Cabeswater or to 300 Fox Way. Okay, maybe "make" is a strong word & I was just joking. But I will definitely politely ask to show me the prototypes of those people she so beautifully written about. They will probably kick me out of their group, but it doesn't matter, just a glimpse would make me happy anyway.

  I know that it's not a review, more of a stream of consciousness, in the meantime I've been reading Proust, probably it affected my tired brain. Random fact about me: I love ravens. And wolves. But I guess, it's another story. Kerah!
