The Ruby Circle was legit the perfect ending to the whole series <3 I've been with the majority of the characters for yeaaaaaaaaaars now (wi/VA) and GAH IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
Caitlyn Crowe
Yes. I am also sooooooo happy it didn't emotionally traumatize me. These characters are so close to my heart it probably would have destroyed me.
Taherah Abbas
RIGHT?! Everything ended with a bow on top of it that it was realistic enough and pretty much perfect.
Caitlyn Crowe
I LOVED THE EPILOGUE HOW THEY ALL GOT BASICALLY WHAT THEY WANTED WITH IT STILL
BEING ACTUALLY PLAUSIBL
Taherah Abbas
I also loved how we see all the VA characters! I CONSIDER ROSE AND DIMITRI PRETTY CRUCIAL TO THE STORY. AND WE SAW CHRISTIAN AND MIA. I MISSED CHRISTIAN A LOT
Caitlyn Crowe
AND OMG ROSE AND DIMITRI CAN HAVE CHILDREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN
Taherah Abbas
I KNOW I KNOOOOW I WAS SO HAPPY FOR DIMITRI BC I KNOW HE'S ALWAYS WANTED A FAMILY. AND IT WOULD BE FUNNY SEEING ROSE HANDLE MOTHERHOOD XD
Caitlyn Crowe
I THINK THEY WOULD BE SUCH CUTE PARENTS AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT IVE ALWAYS HAD A SOFT SPOT FOR DIMITRI SO IT JUST FILLS ME WITH SO MUCH JOY THAT HE CAN HAVE THAT BECAUSE HE WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD, AMAZING DAD
Taherah Abbas
DIMITRI IS GENERALLY A SOFTIE XD AND AND CAN WE TALK ABOUY SYDRIAN ACTING LIKE PARENTS?! I MELTED INTO A PUDDLE OF FEELS OK
Caitlyn Crowe
OMG I KNOW WHEN THAT BABY CAME INTO THE STORY I COULD JUST FEEL THEM SHIFT AND SUDDENLY THEY BECAME THIS AMAZING PARENT COUPLE PEOPLE WHO WERE WORRIED ABOUT DECLAN TOO LIKE AAAHHH
Taherah Abbas
I KNOOOOOW IDK WHAT IT'LL BE LIKE IF NEIL DOES COME BACK. THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED DECLAN TOO MUCH TO JUST LET HIM GO D; BUT I GUESS EVEN THEN IF NEIL STICKED AROUND IT WOULD BE OK
NVM ALL IS GOOD
Caitlyn Crowe
AND JUST IMAGINE WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR OWN KIDS TOO LITTLE SYDNEYS AND ADRIANS RUNNING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE
Taherah Abbas
IT'S GOING TO BE ADORABLE. WITH AUNT JILL AND ROSE AND UNCLE EDDIE AND DIMITRI AND GRANDMA DANIELLA
ALSOALSO I NEEEEED TO TALK ABOUT ADRIAN AND DIMITRI. I CAN'T BELIEEEEEVE THEY'RE RELATED
THAT WAS AMAZING AND I'M KINDA REALLY HAPPY THEY ARE XD
Caitlyn Crowe
I LAUGHED SO HARD FOR A GOOD MINUTE STRAIGHT! MY MOM CAME INTO THE ROOM WORRIED I HAD GONE CRAZY OR SOMETHING!
Taherah Abbas
I WENT TO MY SISTER TO FANGIRL OVER IT
I LOVE IT
Caitlyn Crowe
Ok see but what I want to talk about is that Adrian (ADRIAN) became an elementary school art teacher I CAN PICTURE IT SO WELL ITS ADORABLE AND CUTE AND HOT AS HELL AND IS PERFECT FOR HIM
Taherah Abbas
OHMYGOD IKNOWIKNOW IT WORKS SO WELL WITH HIM. CAN I HAVE HIM AS MY ART TEACHER?!?!?!?!?!?
Caitlyn Crowe
BUT LIKE THE FACT THAT ITS KIDS MAKES IT TEN MILLION TIMES BETTER
Taherah Abbas
YESYESYESYES (I DONT CARE IM NOT A KID, I WOULD STILL ATTEND HIS CLASS)
Caitlyn Crowe
ME TOO!!!!!! OH AND EDDIE AND JILL <3 <3 <3 THEY ARE FINALLY TOGETHER YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS
Taherah Abbas
YAAAAAAAAAAAS I FELT FOR EVERYONE IN THIS BOOK AND I'M SO GLAD EDDIE GOT HIS HEA WITH JILL BECAUSE HE DESERVED IT (HONESLY EVERYONE DOES)
Caitlyn Crowe
hea?
Taherah Abbas
Happily Ever After
Caitlyn Crowe
Ah
BUT YES YES I THINK SO TOO AND I JUST DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT I JUST I THINK ITS SO AMAZING AND LOVE IT AND SYDRIAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
Taherah Abbas
Also I don't know what I think of Aunt Tatiana....
(And I really liked seeing both Adrian and Sydney struggle with protecting each other bc you can see both povs so it's understandable on both parts)
Caitlyn Crowe
I loved how even though Tatiana tried to sway Adrian to just blow up and go off like he used to but how he remembered that it was Sydney and he loved her and he wanted to be his best for her. So he would try to let it go. My favorite one was where they were having an argument before they went to sleep and turned their backs to one another but then he turned around and kissed her neck and just AAAHHHHHHHH
Taherah Abbas
But I wouldn't say she was totally evil. Maybe selfish though
Caitlyn Crowe
I feel like she was Adrian's devil on his shoulder, not really evil but would ultimately fuck his life up if left to herself
Taherah Abbas
sigh that's true, It's kinda sad bc of how close they both were before she died :(
Caitlyn Crowe
I don't think she was entirely as she would have been in real life. I feel like Tatiana would have been more forgiving about it since it was Adrian
Taherah Abbas
forgiving about what?
me: Like Adrian's delusion constantly claimed Sydney was trying to control him and you know what never mind.
Taherah Abbas
SYDNEY BLACKMAILED HER DAD
Caitlyn Crowe
AND ZOE FORGAVE HER AND OMG MALCOM IS DATING CARLY
Taherah Abbas
AND SYDNEY FORGAVE HER MORE LIKE IT. AND MARCUS IS PRETTY AWESOMEEEE
All in all, The Ruby Circle gave me all the feels with all the AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL characters that I've grown attached to. Richelle Mead btw is a great author who deserves all the praise for VA and this series
Caitlyn Crowe
IF I COULD GIVE MORE THAN FIVE STARS I WOULD BUT I CAN’T SO I WILL JUST AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
Taherah Abbas
YES AGREED SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS SERIES AND THE CHARACTERS
