[Victoria Edelsbrunner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lovely story from Opal's perspective. She really does embody part of Ronan. Just wish I could stay in this world longer.

A wonderful after epilogue to tThe Raven Cycle
And hopefully a beautiful prologue to The Dreamer series

Short and sweet, and excellently narrated! Can’t wait for Call Down The Hawk.

I love this little short about Orphan Girl. I love that it gives the reader a glimpse of Ronan's life after The Raven King. I love seeing her learn about the human world. LOVE!

Sweet short story playing after the end of The Raven King, written from Opal/Orphan Girl's POV and centered mostly around Ronan trying to dream a new Cabeswater, while Adam worries about his future. Both happy and sad, both good and bad, very dream-like and grounded.
The one thing that irked me was that, in the audiobook, the narrator for some reason does a lot of mumbling?? I had to relisten several times because I could not figure out what he was saying. Which is weird because that wasn't an issue at all in the audiobooks of the other Raven Cycle books, which have the same narrator??

“Adam’s car was supposed to be more like Ronan’s, but there was something wrong with it called shitbox.”

I really enjoyed this.

Opal see's the world in such a unique and charming way.

She’s trying to live in a world where she doesn’t belong, following rules she doesn’t like, and I love how she breaks all of those rules when she’s bored or upset.

The way the bits and pieces about Ronan and Adam unfolded from her perspective were great too. It was a really nice way to end The Raven Cycle.

“She had no lust, because Ronan hadn’t dreamt any for her, but she also had no shame, because Ronan hadn’t dreamt any of that for her, either.”
