Thankfully this series is finally becoming a bit more comprehensible. The plot really moved and I was excited to see the crew make more discoveries on their path to Glendower.

4/2016 reread before the final book "the Raven King." I loved reacquainting myself with how the characters changed in this book. I definitely needed this reread, I feel like I didn't remember half of what happened.

I lost two nights sleep since I couldn't put my kindle down. And since I work overnights and have two kids, that's saying a lot. So, so, so good!!! I love the changes in so many characters... Ronan, but not... Adam, but not. I thought this was the last in the series... but apparently n ...more
