the biggest trick maggie stiefvater pulls on the reader in the dreamer trilogy is making them think that ronan is this magnificantly tragic cu chulainn/achilles style hero and then declan goes on 1 (one) murderous rampage and we realize it was him all along

#one would think ronan was the cú chulainn figure #this is however yet another of maggie's bamboozling tricks #honestly i kinda dig it i wish we'd gotten more of those clear irish mythology parallels #and maybe tehre were more that i just missed because my knowledge of the old myths is fairly rudimentary #so i'll have to revisit the series once i've read on it more #anyway #the lynch brothers #the brothers lynch #declan lynch #ronan lynch #the raven cycle #trc #the dreamer trildogy #tdt #call down the hawk #cdth #mister impossible #mi #greywaren #greywaren spoilers
