A review by maida
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
”Maybe it was good that the world forgot every lesson, every good and bad memory, every triumph and failure, all of it dying with each generation. Perhaps this cultural amnesia spared them all. Perhaps if they remembered everything, hope would die instead.”
This is the best book in the series. The end.
No but seriously, I’m actually quite amazed with how much I loved Blue Lily, Lily Blue after the train wreck that The Dream Thieves was.
For once, I found myself enjoying most (if not all) the perspectives. Maggie Stiefvater has a way of developing her characters that actually makes you care about them deeply, so of course it was great to see the story unfold from the different point of views.
On that note, let’s talk characters. The amount of character development in this book is outstanding. I think it’s a known fact that I fucking hate Adam Parrish but man did this book make me care about him. And it’s mainly because of how much he’s changed since book one. He’s great. Even Ronan grew on me which was nice.
The one downfall this book had though is how it pushed one of my favorite Raven Boys, Noah, to the back burner. Where was he? He felt more like a plot devise than a character, which is fine, but not great.
Blue and Gansey break my heart every single time. Moving on.
And y’all guess what… we finally got a plot! Oh my god!!!!!
But in all seriousness, I really did love this book. It took me three books but I can finally say I’m into this series. Great. Fantastic. Loving it.
