Synopsis From Goodreads:
The fourth and final installment in the spellbinding series from the irrepressible, #1 New York Times bestselling 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.
My Thoughts: ☆☆☆☆☆
Y’all know how I was kind of disappointed with The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily, Lily Blue? This made up for it! It somehow managed to circle back around and wrap up all that five star awesomeness that The Raven Boys started!
I was hooked on The Raven King from chapter one. It picked up right where Blue Lily, Lily Blue ended, and not a word was wasted! From the get go there was a demon, a set of creepy triplets, and a couple nasty women after those amazing characters I’ve been raving over, and I was immediately pulled through plot twist after plot twist! That awesome character growth was still happening, but this time the plot rose up to meet it. And guys! The romance! My one true pairing actually happened! I won’t tell you anything else though because you have GOT to read this book! Lots of spoilers abound in my head right now, so I’ll just leave it at this: The Raven King was an epic finish to an awesome start with a sagging middle, and it was worth reading every page. I am glad I stuck it out with the middle two books, and I hope you will too.

I enjoyed these books so much I bought the tarot deck (which is gorgeous). I was pretty happy about that pairing up too 😊

Thank you for a spoiler free review!!! I am so torn on whether I will read these. Your review was great and pushes me towards a big yes, but it seems like this is a series that sort of fluctuates. I consistently read one book was good but not the next. I am sure eventually I will give in 😊

There is definitely a big inconsistency with the plot of the middle two books. The characters are amazing throughout the whole series, but that plot goes way weird… I would definitely recommend reading them though! If you can get through the two outliers on characters alone, it will be worth it.
