Publisher Description
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. 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."
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The fourth and final installment of the epic Raven Cycle series is an absolute winner. The supremely talented and imaginative Maggie Stiefvater juggles multiple ongoing plot lines with new page-turning revelations and surprises. The Raven King doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff—life and death, power and personal responsibilities, shattered promises—but we’d follow Stiefvater anywhere, knowing we’re in good, crazily smart hands.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"What a strange constellation they all were." Such is Richard Gansey's assessment of the teenage magical dreamers, psychic amplifiers, scryers, and ghosts who have been his closest companions in his efforts to find the sleeping Welsh king Glendower over the previous three books of the Raven Cycle. The search for that king and the fact that Gansey is supposed to die this year, probably from a kiss from Blue has hung over each novel, and it all comes to a head now. Despite Stiefvater's use of repeating phrases ("Depending on where you began the story, it was about...") to create an air of finality and heighten the mythic scope of Gansey's quest, the path to what readers have always known was coming is swirling, chaotic, and unpredictable, drawing in robotic bees, real wasps, a cloven-hooved girl, a terrifically powerful demon, tree spirits, fast cars, and a couple of eagerly anticipated kisses. The playful, imaginative force of Stiefvater's writing works its magic once again, and most readers will finish this saga not with regret or disappointment but with hope. Ages 14 up.

5 STARS!!!
I have to admit this book surprised me, some way’s more than others.😉 I love how this book turned out, and I’ll have to admit this was one of the most interesting, wild, and oddly awesome series of book’s I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed reading the series, I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who is thinking about getting the book’s, and just reading review’s to decide weather or not to get the series, so I can’t really say much, but there were a few really wholesome pages that I absolutely loved💞🥰 This series will probably appeal to people that love adventures, mysteries, curses, magic, love, and wholesomeness! I typically read book’s with Greek and Roman mythology, and god’s, demigods and stuff like that, so I thought I might like this series because it was some what similar in some way’s. I must say it typically isn’t the type of series I would like to read but as I kept reading it was actually very good and I really loved reading this series. There we’re one or two thing’s that I would have changed if I wrote this book/series, but over all I loved the series, and I would 100% suggest that you read it!
Yaaaaay
One of my favorite series! Wholly unique!
Never disappointed more in a series’ ending.
First of all, why such a prude? 17-19 yr olds aren’t just pecking or having their first kiss. Secondly, what a ridiculously dissatisfying ending. It’s almost as if you simply gave up towards the end. For shame.
