The Raven King by Maggie Stievfater
“He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn't want it to be over.”
It was a sad day. I was coming to the conclusion of The Raven King, the final volume in The Raven Cycle and the realization sunk in: the story of Gansy, Blue, Ronan, Adam, and Noah was coming to an end.

My reading slowed down. I kept going back and rereading, postponing the inevitable day when I would have to read the final chapter, the final paragraph, the final sentence, the final word.
This series is magnificent. The prose is gorgeous. The characters are so well delineated that they become "people you want to hang out with". The cycle is as sweeping and thrilling and achingly wondrous as I knew that it would be.
Maggie Stiefvater's vividly painted palette of words continues to haunt me. Thank you Maggie, for creating The Raven Cycle.

Postscript: I am looking forward to the continuation of Ronan's story, with a new three volume series recently announced by Stievfater.
