The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater: Re-read series review

Series Rating: 4.5

I did not plan this. Right now I should not be re-reading books, my slight reading slump does not need this. I had planned to re-read a couple book this summer and this series was no where near this list. Then, someone on my tumblr dash went on a Raven Cycle reblogging spree and  I got sucked in. 



This series is so much better than I remember. And I really liked it before. I guess this rereading was slightly good for me, as the final book comes out in September, I didn't really remember a lot of thing (especially major points in the last book like WoAh how did I not remember that man) and there's some things I think I missed reading the first time around. 



Steifvater's writing is beautiful but I can sometimes get lost in it. I can't really describe her writing, but you probably know what I mean if you've read it. She makes you fall hard for the characters, every single one, from the minor ones to even the villains. The romance(s) are so good, yet not even close to the main plot, it makes my heart melt ans eyes water. The subplots rarely feel like distraction or filler and fall into the main plot beautifully.  Each keep me at the edge of my seat. 


My favorite out of the three is the last one, Blue Lily, Lily Blue (which I have a review on) . After reading it for the first time, it was my least favorite but I think that is because I read it too fast. Each book is better than the last and I am highly anticipating the final book, The Raven King, which come out in September. This is a great series which I would recommend to anyone.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             This is the third book in The Raven Cycle, but there will not be spoilers, but a synopsis will probably have ones.  Rating: 4 Stars                      

   I really enjoyed this book. I love the characters, the plot is interesting, the villains complex. However, like the rest of the series I would always feel myself drifting off. I think it's the writing style as I heard other people have this problem. Like always, I loved the switching POVs. I think Piper, the main antagonist's wife, was my favorite character in this book. She made me laugh and loud and was very relateable. Another compliant I had with Blu Lily, Lily Blue is I feel like not much happened. I was really short, I finished it in a few hours and other than the last 50 pages nothing much happened. It still kept me entertained, but it makes me angry  have to wait another year for the next one. I'm not satisfied enough during this wait, unlike the last time, after The Dream Thieves.

  Overall, I think you should really check out The Raven Boys, the first book in The Raven Cycle. This series is very good and very original.
