Maggie’s strong suit has never been the action sequences at the end of her books or writing truly villainous characters, but that fact is excruciatingly apparent in Greywaren. It didn’t ruin the book for me, but Jesus Christ a few more scenes with Nathan would have helped. A little more build up? Anything at all? He feels the most one-dimensional character in a room full of the most vibrant, alive people. And maybe that’s intentional but it just fell so flat.

Nathan has adam and jordan. Dead stop. The world feels like its gone still. Ronan wakes up from the great beyond and his first thought after remembering how urgent human life is "wheres adam. My adam."

How is your whole aesthetic scissors centered but your serial killer method is bombing? Like he sure did talk a lot about being a sharp blade for someone who never slices 🙄

#Scissors as a serial killer method would be pretty gnarly. Maybe too gnarly for the story idk #nathan farooq lane #greywaren spoilers #tdt #greywaren #I guess bombs are close enough to apocalyptic fire that you would fall for the red herring which I did #shitpost

don’t you hate it when you join an organization and finally kill your brother and you’re just glad about it and then you find out the organization is actually following orders from your brother.

Okay I am putting this into the ether because I really need to know. Does anyone understand why Nathan wanted to end the world and all the dreamers in it? Like I just genuinely want to understand if there’s any amount of motivation that makes sense? I loved the series so much except for how his character was handled. He doesn’t even make much sense as like the ‘main villain’ . Please if you have any ideas reply or send me an ask.

Nathan felt like such a random villain for this book. Were there any hints in the previous two that he was still alive? There needed to have been foreshadowing for this haha. He was perfectly maniacal, at least, for a villain.

ayeeeeeeeeeee u kno how the first time Nathan killed there were 4 scissors but the police only found 1 body? what's the deal with the other 3 Maggie ?

YOU GET IT.

These are the answers I need. One body but four scissors? Does that mean he killed one dreamer who dreamt up three people? Four deaths with one killing? I NEED ANSWERS.

(Not that we know if he was killing dreamers or not, but it's a half-baked theory I'm noodling on)

bryde's monologs and nathan's writings have eerly similar vibes and cadence....

Hi! How was the farooq lane family dynamic racist? So sorry I don’t mean to be defensive or anything like that, I just didn’t see that and was wondering why?

I didn’t find the Farooq-Lane family dynamic racist, just the Nathan plot! Obviously Maggie didn’t mean it to be racist (I think, I hope) but nothing put a more sour taste in my mouth than the ambiguously Arab one-note character being a madman with a bomb obsession. It would be something if there was more to it, but there literally isn’t, and then with the weird manifesto and stuff...idk, I didn’t get the point of it. It seemed ill-thought out. Genuinely puzzled how that passed the editors!

Side note to the Farooq-Lane family, I didn’t think this was racist or anything, but I do wish we’d got to know more about it and how it shaped Farooq-Lane! Her plot just tapered off there (although maybe reread will make it seem better?)

#look I’m not saying she was being racist on purpose obviously just that it was an unfortunate coincidence she did not consider #anti-greywaren #birdverse #greywaren spoilers #nathan farooq lane #asks #anon

I want to like the Dreamer Trilogy, I really do. I want to love it with my whole soul like I did the Raven Cycle. But it makes me so mad. It has beautiful moments, quotes, and character development; but Maggie wasted so much time in the series. I’ve been dwelling over it since I finished Greywaren in 2022.

My first grievance that I ruminate over is that Mister Impossible could be completely removed from the series and it would be the same story. Neither Ronan or Hennessey really learn anything during their whole drawn out journey. We also don’t uncover much lore in that book, and over all it’s a bleak roadtrip. Greywaren felt like it should have been the second book in the series.

Second is how well written Declan’s portions of the books are. If Maggie wanted to write a Declan series, she should have written one. Declan’s character development is so good, and his romance with Jordan is beautiful. I also loved seeing new sides of Matthew, and the development of Jordan. I think if the whole series would have been them investigating sweetmetals and Boston’s underground art world; I would have been happier.

Third is the treatment of Bryde. After we learn he’s a dream, Maggie essentially throws him away. He’s not even in the rest of Greywaren. Why was the entire 2nd book spent on him if he didn’t matter? And then we hear that he became a visionary off screen? It makes no sense for Bryde to be written out of the story. He was the cult leader, the big bad, that was isolating Ronan and filling his head with ideas. There was no culmination of that storyline. It drives me insane. It was like Maggie changed her mind on where her story was going; because suddenly it was all about Ronan being part god and stopping Nathan Farooq-Lane.

Fourth is the absence of her other characters. I get that Maggie wanted to do something different but it’s to a point that it starts to not make sense. Mr. Gray for instance, could have been a big help. The psychics of 300 Fox Way could have been a huge help. The characters know these people well; when you’re in trouble it’s realistic to reach out to people you know. Even them not contacting Gansey or Blue seems out of place for me. Every time someone walked into the garage where they stored Ronan’s body I expected it to be Gansey and it never was. You know 100% Gansey would have been there in a heartbeat.

Okay I’m done, sorry to be negative but I can only dwell for so long.
