First off, Gansey. In the beginning of the series, you see this fresh faced boy wanting adventure and magic, believing anything is possible. But he’s also holding in literally EVERYTHING. He makes sure no one ever sees him as anything but perfect. He doesnt think hes worth it. In the raven boys, there was that part saying, “in the end he was nothin to ronan. He was nothing to adam.” He really believed that. Now by the end, we see him as this guy who knows theres good and evil and he knows that not everything is perfect, but he also knows that his new family doesnt want him to be perfect. He can be broken around them, and in showing that he starts to heal. Gansey’s anxiety ate him alive for so long and now he knows there are other people with him. In trk, he goes after glendower alone, and he could have died because he was having an anxiety attack and imagining wasps. Abd then ronan, adam, blue, abd henry show him hes not alone and he realizes that with them, he can do it. Even when they find out glendower is actually dead, he and his family are together abd they will make it together and he KNOWS that now.

Blue started off hating raven boys and what they stood for abd she was all sarcasm and wanting. She longed for magic as much as gansey did. She was the only non-psychic in a family of psychics and it she wanted something more. She was full of potantial, but when would that potential become real? Then she meetd gnasey and at first she hates him. She becomes friends with them and falls in love with all the boys, a little. Blue realizes that she was something more. And with them, she could reach that potential. By the end of the series, blue realizes that she is more than her fanily and she can be more than what she is. She isnt tied down.

Then adam. In the beginning, Adam was this angry, beaten boy who refused to take anything from anyone. He had so much pride that it almost killed him. Adam didnt know what love was and so he refused to take any of it because it seemed like pity to him. He was a ball of rage and he pushed everyone away because he hust couldnt understand the concept of love. As the books go on and he makes the deal with glendower, adam starts to picture himself as other. He was different, and because of that he was lonesome, or at least he thought. Adam isolated himself because he didnt know what to do. Then things progress and adam starts to see ronan’s feelings for him and he sees himself as someone worthy of love, or he starts to. But adam didnt know what love was. His father hated him and his mother didnt care for him. Then, by the last book, adam starts to realize. He can be loved. This is his family. Ronan, gnasey, blue, even henry, these people are his. The ending when adam goes to his father gave me such closeure because he is above fearing his father. Where before he was terrified and he thought he could become like that, now he knows differently. He knows he is special and he knows he is worthy of love he never got at home. Adam Parrish is worthy and he realizes it now. He tells his father about the deaf ear and when his father averts his gaze, adam is filled with satisfaction. It DID happen. It wasnt a figment of his inagination. But he rose above it, and that isbthe best thing of anything.

Finally, Ronan. In the beginning, ronan is a weapon honed to kill. He is destruction and his smile is as sharp as daggers and the look in his eyes can slay. But then we SEE him. He cares about his family and he loved fiercly. Ronan was ferocious, but he also loved ferociously. But ronan was broken too. What realy hit me in TRK was when ronan said in cabeswater that what was different in his dreams was that before, his dreams had wanted to kill him and he wanted them to kill him. Now, he wanted life. His new family made him realize he was more than his father’s murder, abd he was more than the horrors of his life. He could live with adam and he could dream up beautiful creations and he could live as fiercly as he loved. Ronan went from hating everything and everyone to loving everything fiercly. Ronan was sharp and in the beginning, Gansey tried to get him to hold it in, but ronan was like that and he needed that to be ronan, but he could also be more than car racing and danger. He could be a boyfriend and he could be a best friend and he could make people feel joy with his dream things. The biggest thing about ronan was that he created. In the beginning, his creations were nightmares and danger and pain, asidefrom Matther and Chainsaw. Now, he dreamt up wonders like the engine-less camaro and epi pens for gansey abd hand cream for adam. Ronan had reasons for life now and he wasnt going to let them go and that’s beautiful.

Also, please excuse my typos, i just finished rereading TRC and have many emotions so this isnt really revised or anything, sorry
