‘And he began to dream’
Truly this book just beat my dead soul into life, and now I think I want to dream again. Isn’t it so lovely when a book can make you feel that? Oh marginal realism I will always be partial to you. I say thank you especially to the last 15% of the story for it’s hand in twisting my heart into attention. And for the story for tying up my previous concerns about the Welsh King plot line and transforming it into one of my favourite tropes: the whilst we were looking far ahead for change, the biggest changes and answers where right under our noses, where happening during the journey and not the destination. The destination was who we were on that journey. And shout out to Noah for delivering one of the best POVs that tied everything up and made it all the more meaningful, Gansey died and was revived to find the people that made his life worth living, his found family. All I miss is Cabeswater, I wish I had or could dream up my own.Listening to this via audiobook was the best experience especially with the music the author produced themselves, truly they are so talented and I am so grateful I got to experience this story with the enchanting lull of the music to ease me back out of a world of the Raven boy’s dreams and into my own.
