I had a couple of problems with characters who almost seemed irrelevant with how little participation they had in the final plot, however, I will give my kudos to Stiefvater for making each one of them original and interesting nonetheless.Ĭlick Read more for book analysis and rants and spoilers or you’ll find them below this point, my sweet children.
It is the ever so deserved end, carefully wrapped up in a satisfying end that leaves open the possibility of so much more. The Raven King is more than YA itself, its more than fantasy and its more than The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily Lily Blue ever was. Its entire more-ness, because that is what it is. Maggie’s ever praised prose is better than ever, it makes you feel everything you have never been able to put into words between all of the character’s arc climax, the creepier and scarier atmosphere throughout the entire book, her ever present quirky humor, and the larger than life vibe this book is. The Raven King is what the Raven boys’ friendship is for Blue: Breath taking, all powerful, all consuming and engrossing. Three relationships that will at last set sail.Īnd one final door will at last close but it will leave so many more open, so many many more. Two last glimpses of special someones will be given, and without a goodbye they part.
A new addition to their group is made in the form of charismatic and brave Henry Cheng, who will reach and touch Gansey in more ways than one. The story is set one week after the events of Blue Lily Lily Blue, with Maura and Artemus back in Fox Way along with the cryptical Gwenllian -the later two who are not exactly getting along well- while the Gangsey & Co are still in the search for their Welsh King of Myth. Step Three: Give me gay boys, all the gay boys. Step Two: Include strong and complex characters with original character arcs Flawed for a series ending however, and thus I can’t get myself to give it 5 stars. All wrapped in a poetical ending to satisfy all fans. Prophecies will be will be unmasked, curses will be unleashed, relationships will set sail and terrifying fears will come to life. Recommendation: Worth every single page from the first sentence to ends. A brooding and omnious novel that will hook you from the first sentence, sweep you off your feet and land you right in the heart of the Aglionby Raven boys adventure to be a witness to its all consuming ending.
The Raven King is the thrilling final installment in the dark and magical series Raven Cycle series created by Maggie Stiefvater. “Richard Gansey III had forgotten how many times he had been told he was destined for greatness.”Īnd this was the year he was going to die.”
