Rogers (to be fair, Nievita was unfamiliar with the episode in question). Shannon thinks Opal needs to be introduced to Mr. Nievita loves little old (Cloud) ladies brazenly reading trashy romance novels (to be fair, Shannon does, too). There’s a lot packed into 38 short pages, and both Shannon and Nievita have a lot of feels (ALL THE FEELS!) and a lot to say. Overall, I loved it, and it’s worth every cent I paid for it, and possibly more!Īs always, I appreciate you reading this, whoever you are.Welcome to our Opal Special Episode, covering the short story released with the paperback edition of The Raven King! Beyond that, I loved her interactions with Adam and Ronan and how she’s so stubborn, just as you would expect from anyone coming from Ronan’s dreams.

In Opal, we got to see the relationship between Adam and Ronan in someone else’s perspective. Opal hated this small animal world and all its small, limiting rules. Stiefvater’s characters are just so well developed, it’s hard to not like anyone, really. And that’s how much I love Ronan Lynch… he’s so dream-yyyyy 😉Īnd because Opal is my beloved Ronan’s creation, of course I’m fond of her, too. You know how you could change your phone’s name somewhere in your settings? Well, mine is named Ronan Lynch.

I love Ronan Lynch with all my heart and I’m just so happy that soon (hopefully sooner rather than later…) I’m going to get to read more about him!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! And somehow that little twist about him is just so much sweeter because it’s nothing what I could have expected from such a “rough around the edges” character. It wasn’t really possible for me to not like this novella, because I loved The Raven Boys, and from his first scene where he tells Gansey that he didn’t take notes for him because he thought Gansey was dead in a ditch, I already knew Ronan Lynch was going to be my favorite. She was to only tell the truth because Ronan always told the truth, but she felt this was the most unfair rule of all because Ronan could dream himself a new truth if he liked and she had to stick with the one she was currently living. *As an Amazon Associate, I receive a mini % of sales every time you use my link to purchase an item.
