Blue, Gansey, Noah, and Ronan's story comes to a breaking point as the mystery of Glendower and Cabeswater are resolved. We also discover the true meaning behind the psychic reading that has been haunting Blue for most of her life.
I felt the Glendower reveal was anti-climatic. Stiefvater spent the better part of four novels building the mythology around this ancient sleeping king, and I was let down by the reveal.
The biggest surprise came by all that Ronan had created once you are able to look back to the very first novel.
Ultimately; however, I think that Maggie Stiefvater has a brilliant imagination. I just don't think this series was the right fit for me. It was very good, no question. I rated the series as a whole four out of five stars. I'm older than the age range this was intended for, and I'm guessing that is what was missing out for me. If I had read this as a teen, I have a feeling my reaction would have been much different.
