The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** I finished this 6 hours ago but I've been screaming about it on tumblr (@juliagulia07), nourishing my feeble body, and sleeping since then. This book was everything I wanted it to be. Granted, I did set a pretty high standard, and while it maybe didn't exceed that standard, it certainly met it. Of course there were bumps, and (unimportant) loose ends, but the message that the story continues and hope survives drowns those out.
Reread update: definitely more tears at the death scene. Same amount of tears for the brothers Lynch and Adam Parrish
CDTH reread update: The loose ends comment is now a moot point since CDTH will directly deal with 90% of these loose ends. On this reread I definitely enjoyed Henry a lot more, and I empathize more with Blue now than I did when I first read this book.
Update: Cover release: Not what I expected, but this may be my favorite cover so far. Also, kinda hoping Gansey will pull a Harry Potter. Part of me thinks he'll be possessed/have to die for Glendower, so here's to hoping that's not the case. And I guess now it's 6 more months since the original release date.
Update: Release date moved: I HOPE THIS MEANS IT'S LONGER THAN TDT. Also, Gansey gets another 5 months before he dies, lucky duck (*sobs*)
Love the title! *those rich kids* Even the placeholder cover is cool!
