The fourth and final installment in the spellbinding series from irrepressible, number-one New York Times best-selling author Maggie Stiefvater.
All her life, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love’s death. She doesn’t believe in true love and never thought this would be a problem, but as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
In a starred review for Blue Lily, Lily Blue, Kirkus Reviews declared: “Expect this truly one-of-a-kind series to come to a thundering close.”
Wonderful. Simply wonderful. The Raven King is surprising and not surprising at the same time. There are certain pivotal moments one can see coming from a mile away but when they finally arrive, they do so unexpectedly. There is more joy in this book and yet more sorrow. When I say I love this series, I do not love it in the sense that I love chocolate, thunderstorms, or traveling. This love is like recollecting your favorite dream, one that you long to slip back into and stay for hours. I’ve never read anything like The…
Perfect A wonderful ending to a wonderful series. The writing is evocative and lush, the story is gripping, the characters are amazing as always. Stiefvater has a true talent for crafting sentences that make you pause and close your eyes, and then reread the whole page so you can experience the moment again. Less is more with her, and a single line packs a lot of punch in terms of description, characterization, and plot.Â
A bit rushed I’m not sure if I read a completely different book from everyone else, but I really don’t get why people are crying and/or emotional… I’m pretty underwhelmed right now. Don’t get me wrong, I really did like this book, but I thought the execution could’ve been SO much better. The whole thing felt really rushed and the end was majorly anticlimactic. Maybe I had too many expectations or things I wanted to see happen.Â
