Niall and Mor dreaming up better versions of themselves for the other to keep as a parting gift is deeply romantic to me unfortunately. But it’s also really interesting, because the reason Aurora seems so off and intensely dreamlike, even though we know dreams can seem perfectly human, is probably because Mor wanted someone more compassionate and soft for Niall but couldn’t quite conceptualize the internal mechanisms of those feelings and she’s usually so precise about what she creates. But she tried for him and think that’s so sweet. (And he wanted a version of himself to be permanent eye candy for her, which is kind of funny.)

things i loved immensely in greywaren, in no particular order (positivity hour!):

- the world building with the entities and ronan and the lace...extremely romantic! i can’t think of another way to phrase it, it felt suffused with wonder and love and tenderness. maggie said something about how she wouldn’t have given chap 26 unless she was giving away this universe and i think all of her musings on humanity and beauty and fight came through in the world building of it. going out with a bang!

- the sweetmetal lore as well. now a trickier one this is! but i think i mosty love the metaphor? funny enough i wasn’t a great fan of all the implications of the sweetmetal details we learnt in this book, but still a solid solid metaphor for the dreaming and dreams.

- the writing was phenomenal. from a craft perspective. at certain points i was just awed at the writing.

- i am not really a soulmate eternal love girl, as in it doesn’t do anything special for me as a trope, but pynch ether/whatever scenes did make me go OH MAN. i think it was splendidly done. they were wanted, they were wanted, they were wanted. ronan choosing humanity again and again and again. choosing adam too! choosing humanity BECAUSE of adam (and the rest) in the end

- there were two gods in this church, baby!

- love the gangsey all being embroiled in this really intense multiship through magic forestry. CABESWATER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS. when i eventually reread trb sometimes i know that the discovering cabeswater scene will get me bawling. their delight! their RELIEF! their love and wonder! all reframed in my brain. and ronan dreamt it for them...and gansey’s lives and deaths...

- Mother We Share now FIRMLY a lynch fam song

- Ode to My Family now FIRMLY a lynch fam song

- bryde meeting the girl and her holding a hand to her mouth, it was a powerful thing to know you weren’t alone...

- jordan played so small a part in this book, but when she was there she shined. i loved her fight with hennessy, her knowing what she wants, i loved her little domestic routine with declan, i loved being reminded of how resourceful and resilient and dynamic and clever she is in the nathan showdown scene. it made me remember that she was a caretaker for the girls for so many years, and all the love and care that she has cultivated. very thrilling implications of jordan being the hennessy without her mother, but even more so the implication of this jordan who has been standing so close to terror her whole life and not giving in. i wish we got more, but alas. what we got was extremely sweet. jordan flung her hand out at the sky, the wordless gesture for anything. i love that she was the one who got that last bit.

- adam and chainsaw did things to my heart.

- mor’s story was extremely compelling in ways i did not expect. i really feel for her, even if i don’t necessarily vibe with her ending up in the barns apparently in frequent contact with her sons. felt a little like we skipped over all the interesting steps to that resolution. her objects of pain. how even her dreamt sleeping pill/painkiller tablet whatever is infused with misery and pain and the same scene with the kerry beach. the mary who ran away! the mary who wanted to kill god and played with god and ran from god. so many issues she had and created and also left her kids with, but also so many issues she 100% prevented by leaving. love her. i find her endlessly fascinating.

- new fenian and his bag of memories...he is so fun and cheery and upbeat and also definitely a FREAK. enjoy the heartbreaking ramifications of what would you do if your dead father’s love for you was stored in an unchanging version of him who will never be your father? SLAPS

- niall being so passive in this story, in this tragedy is what struck me most fascinating about him. he just lets everyone else make and take the decision, lets everyone else give the ideas and the cues. not mean or small or larger than life or bitter, just an useless king. pop went the mythic legend of niall lynch!

- marie lynch come back what did you want. sorry it’s so funny that she literally wasn’t relevant at all after all the speculation ince opal and her showing up in the book early. what a mental illlness dynasty

- low empathy mor + bipolar niall + curious reckless forest = ronan! call that jesus part two!!! what an origin story i LOVED IT

- loser cringefail marriage enjoyers RISSSEEEE UP

- many thoughts about niall giving ronan all his feelings. his desires and wants and wonders. mor giving him her pain and fear

- the “for the first summer, the barns was paradise to ronan lynch and adam parrish” chapter went SOOOOO HARD. i loved it. imagining a future is hard work! imagining it and changing it is even harder!

- you are made of dreams, he thought, and this world is not for you. the barns already looked like winter.

- paradise, paradise, why would he ever leave?

- i miss knowing where i was going HARDDDD AGREE ADAM PARRISH!!!

- mor-niall and adam-ronan parallels and it’s like. jordeclan you are soooo normal. you are literally so normal healthiest relationship ever sorry that i’d ever joke about you paralleling niall’s life choices 😭 this is a joke btw, i love the parallels of pynch and mor-niall; just makes the choice of them choosing truth and discomfort of facing your voices more hard fought. it’s what i’ve always loved about the pynch dynamic❤️ unable to imagine a future they’d be happy and making it themselves through trial and error

- jordeclan mwah mwah ❤️ i love them choosing each other over and over and how they are the easiest parts of each other’s life. the most honest. the lightest to carry. MAKES ME INSANE. dramatic art hoes

- niall loved declan and declan loved ronan and so ronan lived. can i get an amen! a yeehaw even?

- ronan’s first tether to the human world technically being declan really does so much for me as a concept. he chooses humanity and the only 100% human person he knows is who loves him first. BROTHERS!

- the first person who loves him in the human world is his big brother...rip that got me BAD.

- the freaky Forest. Annihilation ass shit. How delightful for a fan of horror and mythology. I love the haunted house/hungry forest/pleading god of the Barns’ setting.

- hennessy’s fucken mouse 🥺🥺

- declan’s fucken moth 🥺🥺

- we love a little creature...we love a little metaphor...

- carmen was a riot. i loved her becoming progressively unhinged. finally allowing herself to become rude and miserable and helpless. her and hennessy’s whole deal was extremely spicy and fun and i think really really needed and their scene were electric to me! her being like woops liliana is old now😬 kind of made me cackle but im still upset about what happened. her and declan being delusional together was great i love it actually. blasting german opera. rip parsifal and also that detail made me feel very tender

- “last men standing” (last men fucking shot😭) i just gotta mention the ink handover from mor feniall declan to carmen and hennessy because a) that was so funny. (“have you ever been shot?” asks maggie stiefvater character the new fenian dooming carmen into her fate), and b) what an insane line up of people to accomplish anything. to coordinate. ronan is so lucky everyone of them chose that day to not overcomplicate ideas and have no additional agendas, it’s like halley’s comet😭once in 76 years event only

- im not getting into the nathan of it all because this is a positive post and that plotline is something i struggle to be positive about but i did like carmen getting to shoot him for many reasons. one being that she did not actually shoot a single person until now. her finally finally doing something for herself without hundred wrong rationalisations.

- declan getting shot <3 and then immediately not having questions or a bone to pick. babygirl you are sooooo desensitised to inadvertent parental violence! and this wasn’t even that inadvertent

- matthew punching declan <3 we all clapped! him stealing the car and running away was amazing i love him so much. frankly should have smashed his laptop too wtf was declan’s horror story plan

- hennessy’s ARC. her broken, broken, broken heart! that part when ronan is spying on jordan and is like omg jordan is so good at art just like hennessy! she’d amazed him with her casual art. anything could be a medium to hennessy. a discarded pen, dust gathered on the dashboard, convenience store makeup, melted candy, leftover ketchup. hennessy could be mean and clever when she spoke, with her art she was just clever. AND THEN SHE SKETCHES THE HEART AND THE MOUSE WAKES UP!

- omg the mouse woke up...

- i loved every bit of her art making journey here. it kind of brought me back to cdth where jordan is breaking her back with doing all the art and the forgery and and whatnot and hennessy doesnt really take too much of an interest...and all this time they could have aved the girls! but she will save her mouse! we get to see the flip and her careful watchul process and it kind of. it changed me.

- who was jordan hennessy without her mother? she was jordan.

- but also. who was jordan in white? she was hennessy despite everything despite her mother’s base it was HER who made her her...hennessy i love you. i’m glad you love yourself.

- an image she knew part of her would be pursuing for the rest of her life, if they survived this. hennessy’s pursuit of brilliance and excellence is something we don’t talk about enough but it is SUCH a big part of her. perfectionist. her eye for detail. and her taking it into how she wants to live her life wah <3

-her and ronan are so precious to me. the first friend who did not share her face.

- the lace scene where she find him and does not let him go they’d both been screaming.<3 you’re the only one i would. they’d both been screaming.

- “fuck you, this is so good.” SICK ASS BLACK OUT TATTOO. how hennessy’s human drive and friendship and recognition and cleverness and love literally infused ronan with comparable strength of sweetmetal to the ley line...THE MOMENT!

- snakeskin tattoo gets second mention i love it. calla <3 almost like you are psychic girl

- back to hennessy, i found the way her relationship with her mother to me dealt so wonderful. one thing that struck me was that scene with jordan in white where they are like “oh, didn’t know she was like that at home as well. i’m sorry that must be difficult” and that acknowledgement MATTERING to her. i think a lot about hennessy excising that memory of her mother from her copies; none of them really KNOW. no one has ever known her mother and said those words to her. no one knows her mother accept her lace. no one to tell about the horrific neglect and abuse except herself over and over until the last minute where she has to rip herself out and it’s with a version of herself who has never been touched by her mom. lots of thoughts.

- hennessy/carmen dynamic rocked idc rushed or not or whatever i was extremely extremely charmed by it for reasons i’ll elaborate later on, but mainly: two people suffering who finally get to be awful and horrible and real without worrying about the other person. without thinking the other person had the answers! and finding it thrilling and freeing but also painful!! because they don’t want to be caustic but also. they kind of do? i am UPSET BEYOND WORDS about carlianessy dreams being shattered because i was gunning for it sinc 2019 but i absolutely still love hennessy/carmen

- very sexy too. i love women. farooq-lane, burning. hennessy creating herself, now with intention!

- ronan’s monologues were beautiful. i wish we got a little more of awake ronan doing stuff, but asleep ronan having many beautiful musings about the nature of humanity and love was wonderful. he is full of love, he is the lynch pin (heh heh), he is the god and devotee!! character of all time

- he was sentimental of his lovingly decorated body 🥺

- chapter 26 you will always be famous. it touched me in ways i can’t fully articulate! numquam solus. a funeral or a baptism. thank you, thank you, thank you, ronan thought with such relief, such relief. maggie wrote that for all the bitches who had an almost academic and definitely unhealthy obsession with death/their death in their childhood.

- glad to know the answer to the age old fandom question of what would declan do if he lost both brothers in one fell swoop was: murder-suicide

- to be fair though if i thought of thoughts such as: he did not question that declan would want to keep him secure; he just assumed that he would while i wandered around the city trying to find out if my baby brother died i would have also gone for the same option. king shit

- loved declan’s story for many reasons, i loved him miserable and guilty and suffering. loved ch 27. but also what i possibly love most about ch 27 is the moment on the sidewalk where he’s like there’s a version of me that doesn’t get off this step until my heart stops because it’s all a little too much. but then he squares his shoulders goes and tries to get the sweetmetal for ronan anyway and frees the prisoners on the way. which is where i think his so far kind of parallel arc to niall’s splits off in the opposite direction.

- i think i have such complicated feelings on the lynch fam resolution and declan’s memory of his father in particular, but there is so much going on there with him finally getting the memories of both his parents, it not fixing anything but it STILL being something that eases declan in a way, that i can love and feels incredibly true to his character. i think that proof of love does make a difference for him and his view of his father (someone who was a scared selfish short sighted dumb man, rather than a straight up cruel bitter one that didn’t care to teach ronan and thought declan was expendable) and genuinely in a more nuanced way than i’ve been shitposting about djcdscbfkc. also (would have) parallels (paralleled) ronan’s view on declan and niall and whatnot, if you know we had got ronan’s view on like, his family and friends, sometime in this book. but not the place for that lmao. positivity hour.

- i don’t think it should erase his anger at his father or the trauma that he brought into their lives, and am soooo not a fan of the whole my childhood was content actually the WHOLE view of my family was a grief-fuelled lie thing, i feel dissatisfied beyond words with that choice, but i do feel declan considering it on the other side of his childhood as someone who has fucked up with dealing with grief and trauma and magical wards is powerful on its own. also “to copy a person, one must become that person for a little while” policy of the dream memories imo make it more blurry. i think FEELING that fear and love and uh, stupidity, is more mind melting than just seeing the memories.

- side note, i love a lot about how maggie wrote the memories of mor and niall. i realised only in hindsight that the dreamy, blending nature of both their povs is supposed to signify declan viewing them both and getting both sides of the story? feeling both sides of the story. very nice.

- side note, fun short term exposition. long term, fucking INSANE to have both your parents worst/most awful/”loving but you didn’t get to have it” memories in your head. i love it what a bad but incredibly sexy to explore idea <3

- talking about dreams written well. ronan’s dreams in the battle!!! that battle rocked from a writing standpoint even if i didn’t care about nathan enough for me to fully like it to max potential. the repeating dreams and snippets of bryde’s monologues, and the lace and greywaren showdown. EPIC.

- he woke up!

- HE WOKE UP.

- it was not a choice at all.

- i AM one of those things. freaking slayy

- big big fan of the parallels with adam and hennessy and i LOVE the further implication of her saving him, i loved that hennessy saved him for ronan and as a challenge to herself to save another person from the lace. i think great jumping off point. but unpopular opinion unfortunately in the context itself adamnessy did not do as much for me as i might have expected. that “hush i’ve worked too hard...” like it was fun, but i wish we could have got the situation in some other way. and maybe i would have liked to hear what you and jordan had to say to each other actually hennessy!!! all said and done this is in things i loved because RODAMNESSY IS REAL, and those two blokes WILL owe hennessy for the rest of their lives!!!

- adam rent asunder by the lace...rip to him. his mind orbs 😭 i actually really enjoyed jordan trying to keep him alive of it all. she’s so good. also bisexual solidarity

- matthew and bryde scenes were gold. clinical depression gesfvgdhffv. also i needed more from them, actually even this particular line of thinking but: if i had to learn to be sad, you had to learn to be happy. lot’s of feelings about matthew as the bridge between two siblings he considers as deeply unhappy individuals, one who was suicidal for a period of time in high school and one who he is starting to see recently as fallible and clueless on how to move forward, and how he has to re-contextualise that he was dreamt as an ebullient loving easy brother, who was the favorite of his dreamTM mother who was much the same. and even without the dream thing, just as a little boy in that situation :( we did not delve into it, but the crumbs of this was much appreciated.

- also EXTREMELY hilarious. CHIROPRACTOR SONG.

- DUDIFER. matthew you are my son

- bryde amused me. what a shitty life. rip man you were BUILT for doom. ronan omg.

- talking about matthew i think i am doing the heavy lifting of liking his arc in my head, but for my peace of mind i do think it’s implied declan-matthew resolve their issues in a way by the time epilogue rolls around. the whole moth story got me for a bunch of reasons, but the biggest is nothing to do with niall but actually about matthew being the one to re-gift it as a wedding present and declan releasing it. crazy ass metaphor. they get better i gotta believe that. the both of them are SO important to me.

- the lynch brothers are friends again! they hugged! REJOICEEE

- foxway mention!!!! does it matter if the bride and groom know them or not??? this was for one person and that is MEEE

- i think getting wedded by your high school accountant/local psychic is a fun and eye opening experience. not inviting the hitman that beat you up and murdered your father is a fair choice, but i also think that would have been fun and eye-opening gdfcagfahg

- seondeok mention! henry mention! I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT DIVORCE. rip a fulfilling non-traumatising arc for declan and henry though. they are just doing black market crime now? welp. this is positive because it’s tragically funny.

- boo no sarchengsey. love gansey and blue troubled academics but boo sociology. in my brain blue does dendrology and gansey archaeology i feel they’re really into fieldwork but oh well. academic rivals <3 henry is the jilted lover they reunite with amen.

- ahhh ronsey. orange juice. past lives. them

- love ronan getting to travel and be free to guide and help other dreamers. i do not buy that he is so settled in his life he is completely hundred percent done with difficult responses to tragedy/anger/grief etc like the last bit of this book implied, but i guess nothing DISPROVED it either. we just don’t know enough.

- in the many, i’m sure riveting, christmas dinner battles of fed adam vs black market criminals henry and declan, i’m on the side of black market criminals henry and declan.

- art therapist hennessy CANON baby!!!!! how does it feel to only win. very good.

- again ronanessy, travelling this way and that four years later...love to see it <3

- sweet potato farm internship for matthew...love that for him

- jordeclan saving the sexy guestlist for the bigger wedding so they can convince the new fenian that the barns handcat wedding is the InTiMAtE one is my personal canon. personal jesus.

- “it occurred to Blue and me the other day that being a teenager really sucked.” <3 i will take that as really hopeful words with me out of this series. i didn’t need the really happy picture perfect ending from this series, but there is something really powerful in reading about a beautiful, magical, and painful too, but a really beautiful adolescence and having the character think back on it and say “oh, i didn’t know it could get better”. rest of their lives left, baby, and each slender present becoming the beautiful past you make your peace with and are actually, hey, kind of happy to leave behind, because there is some future left for you to discover.

just thinking abt how niall was so madly in love w mor o corra who was probably a sociopath and afraid that eldritch terror baby ronan was gonna kill them all one day (fair) but then when mor leaves he dreams aurora but even tho they look identical aurora’s not an exact copy at all bc mor couldn’t feel love while aurora was infinitely loving that was her whole POINT and niall just fucking DID that just cared about his sons so much that he let his real beloved mor walk away and dreamed his sons a mother who would never never leave who existed solely and purely to love them, to love even eldritch terror baby ronan

and i

#like if he just wanted to replace mor bc he missed #wouldn’t he try to dream someone more LIKE her?#like how the new fenian is basically a niall clone #?#but aurora is wildly different and that must be on purpose #</3 #look i could go on and nuance this vastly but like #have probably spent enough time on this lil tangent ….#trc #tdt #niall lynch #like i get why some ppl do not like niall but #one thing abt niall lynch he did love his kids :(

it’s funny because I actually don’t hate the “mom and dad are back at the barns!” plot point but I DO wish we had gotten mor and the new fenian actually letting on that they would like that.

#Greywaren #mor o corra #the new fenian #it’s just like? there were opportunities #like when Declan is at their weird apartment #or in the final chapter when they’re back at the barns for the first time in forever #just like #something?

Things I forgot I love about the dreamer trilogy:

Parsifal Bauer

“he didn’t have it in him to love another dream”

hand cat

Adam impulsively driving a motorcycle to spend three hours with Ronan

Declan asking if Ronan and Adam had a fight

Ronan’s schedule

Matthew being the literal worst teenager alive upon finding out he’s a dream

“you just tossed one of my siblings out the window”

“do i still take communion now that i know im not real?”

Declan telling Jordan she can drive

anyone ever deciding to hug Declan Lynch

she didn’t have money so she pays with her unopened coffee drink

Hennessy seeing a cute picture of Ronan and Adam and and being pissed when she realizes they’re hot AND happy

Declan’s shoes being the most revealing thing about him

Declan and Adam being unable to keep their heads down and lead a normal fucking life and ignore the MAGIC

“When we’re married…”

He liked how he looked on her arm.

Matthew asking to play DND

“Do you or don’t you like it when I point out dogs?”

Adam bringing Chainsaw to Ronan while he sleeps. Anytime Adam talks to Chainsaw ever.

Declan being an unfoolish child. All of toddler Declan setting rules for his dreamer parents. “No Mother we sleep in beds.”

Declan committing mass murder.

The happy way Mor tells Niall that she thinks she would be sad if he died.

Matthew being shocked that Bryde neither wants to commit crimes together or force him into a cult, followed by the startling revelation that while Bryde might look cool he decidedly isn’t. In like, not a mean way Declan or Ronan would think of somebody not being cool. In just kind of a sad way, “like bro that’s cringe.”

Matthew asking Bryde if he’s ever heard of clinical depression because “you are the saddest dude I’ve ever met”

Matthew having to deal with Bryde’s teenage angst the way Declan has dealt with Matthew’s for the last 2.5 books.

The new Fenian. How he loves the Lynch boys. The hug he gives Declan?? The way he gently tells Declan he hoped he could give Declan his parents’ memories.

Niall loving Declan so much he couldn’t keep the memory of his birth because it made him too happy.

hey y'all im greywaren posting again.i have so many fucking questions. there were so many loose ends maggie left and im about to complain about them. MAJOR SPOILERS:

what actually is the lace? is it just another eldritch creature in the dream land?

did mor and niall dream romantic and sexual attraction into ronan? like, matthew doesn't have it (we assume) because ronan did mot dream that into him...aurora presumably has attraction dreamt into her because that is her whole purpose...jordan is just a copy of hennessey so she inherited henessey's bisexuality ig...but like. did mor and niall consciously dream attraction into their toddler? or was it just an assumption of him being partially human? also which one of them made him gay?? did the forest make him gay???? (i kinda hope it did tbh)

so do fenian and mor just live at the barns permanently now? what the fuck? when ronan and adam go back to the barns to be domestic, are fenian and mor just there? also...what are ronan's feelings about mor and everything? he doesn't really like her, does he?

what is ronan's, like, job? mission? why was he at the ley line in tennessee? like what was he doing? we understand what hennessey is doing...but ronan is just out being a cryptid again? it honestly kinda sounded like industrial bioterrorism again, ngl

did adam really finish a four-year degree? how??? that boy has had so many near death experiences by now...ain't no way

i probably have more but my break is ending and i gotta go back to work so guess i'll go stew in my thoughts some more :(

give up the ghost

Rated T | 9.8+k Words | Greywaren / Dreamer Trilogy fic

Summary:

No one is ever really prepared for a dreamt copy of their dead father to stumble back into their life. AKA the Ronan versus the new Fenian fic, which turns into a Ronan versus the idolization of his father and ends with the Brothers Lynch.

Snippet:

Chainsaw nipped his ear again. “Ow, fuck.” Ronan snapped out of it, looking at his raven with a narrowed gaze, which she returned. “ Kerah ,” she croaked. “Does she repeat words, too?” the new Fenian continued, eyes searching. “Uh…” “ Krecker.” The new Fenian clapped his hands in delight. “Ooh, she’s lovely. Seems very attached to you.” “I raised her,” Ronan said and then grimaced. Why was he telling him this? “She was small when I got her, I don’t know. Needed to be fed every two hours and shit.” “Aye,” the new Fenian said with a somber nod. “That’s good of you, boyo.” At boyo , Ronan’s back straightened. He turned on his heel and left immediately. His father’s voice. His father’s face. His father’s nickname, pet name for his children. As usual, Ronan didn’t dwell on sadness, his emotions immediately went to anger. He barely registered the walk back to the house, slamming open the back door, Chainsaw cawed unhappily and flew into the kitchen in front of him, perching on the back of Adam’s chair. Adam and Jordan were at the kitchen table, Declan was at the coffee pot, exhausted eyes meeting Ronan’s. “What?” “This isn’t going to fucking work,” Ronan spat.

Ronan technically has five parents (Mor, Niall, the forest, the new Fenian, and Aurora), and Declan is still the one who ended up taking care of him half the time.

Okay, I'm finally putting my thoughts down. They're not super nuanced, but this was how I felt about Greywaren

Spoilers below (and feel free to pass this by)

Tagging @mychemicalrachel since we talked about sharing lol

I liked Greywaren. I thought it was a fine book and I was emotional about it. I'm sad the series is over and after having read it and listened to it, giving myself some time to process and write some fic, I am left wanting.

I definitely have thoughts about Maggie's original ideas for the series and I could speculate until the cows come home about how the original outlines for the books affected what was published.

Greywaren felt a lot like she just wanted to be done and I get that, but it left for some slim pickings and a lot of unanswered questions.

What I liked: Ronan getting to see the people he loves and cares about from an outside perspective. Ronan is always in his own head about people's motivations, I think he needed to see things for what they were, rather than how he saw them. All of the scenes with Ronan and Adam, as well as Declan and Jordan. Hennessy coming into her own. The scene with her and Carmen and the index cards was incredible. Declan's moment to shine and having his John Wick moment lmao Also Matthew punching Declan! Cathartic! The snakeskin tattoo. The HEA

What I didn't like: The Brothers Lynch not talking about the Mor/Aurora, Niall/New Fenian situation and how that affects all of them, as well as just, like, some on page forgiveness. I just had such a hard time with the epilogue. I wanted more! I wanted to know what Declan and Jordan were up to in MA, I wanted to know what Ronan and Adam did when they got to VA (like, reconciling and recovering together). I wanted to see Adam talking to the Crying Club and dropping out of Harvard. Where did Hennessy go off to? Are she and Carmen officially together? I also hated Nathan and that whole thing, it felt weird, and vaguely racist kinda'? I wanted to know more about the Lace. There's more, I'm sure, but those are the big ones.

Overall, it was just bittersweet, and I wish the book had been more substantial than it was. I wouldn't NOT recommend it but it left me feeling a bit bereft.

takeaways from the lynch family at the ending. in birth order:

- niall: can’t believe he is just some guy.punctured his grandiose mythology all right! loves his kids but is simultaneously contender for worst role model figures in the series. range. he is so dumb god bless. kind of endearing but in a very specific awful awful way that would make me hate him if i knew him which i may talk about later. and that rocks!!

- mor: i want to study her and i love her. insane. hot. kind of evil. sympathetic. am singularly interested in her pre-gw prologue backstory than niall’s which is insane because if you told me a year ago i would have no interest in niall’s origins but a random character i never met before this book i’d have laughed. but what do i know.

- declan: love him. soooooo compelling ngl i loved most of his arc to bits he is having the worst time ever!!! (don’t become a niall apologist). he has perhaps one speed and that is fucking up with his brothers and then overcorrecting and it’s hilarious. just please can he think more. and then at a certain point stop the thinking too, because #ouroboros brain at this point for my man

- ronan: i can’t believe those crazy people took you out of that magic forest and got you baptized! character of all time. loved his relationship to his brothers getting to be resolved but i sure do wish he got more time with them this series!!! numquam solus got me bad. again. please think part 2.

- aurora: justice for aurora. shafted all time every time. all i will say for now because this will be too long otherwise i and im so mad. she should be able to kill.

- new fenian: what would you do if you get to know your dead father as a cheery upbeat optimistic young man who has been dreamt with all the love he had for you but chose to give up? what if that father was niall lynch? i’m surprised the answer wasn’t to run directly into traffic! EXTREMELY delicious plot point. love it.

- matthew: the only reason i can imagine him coming out with such a good head on his shoulders even after being dreamt by ronan, raised by niall/aurora (figure of speech) and then by declan of all people is that. their insane energies cancelled each other out and we were left with one really cool dude. but also i realise as i’m typing this he just ran away for days 😭😭 “i thought you would be mad” GIRL THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD FOR WEEKS ON END. i love him. that was so sexy of him. him punching declan was one of the BEST scenes and his bryde banter was soooo fun...shame we got zero resolution to his arc apart from a little of that happy sad thing, though :| rip fleshed out matthew arc i shall always miss you and your endless potential
