Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
3.5
I like a lot of what Blue Lily, Lily Blue brings to the Raven Cycle story, I really do. But a lot of the other stuff is just preparing for the last book and I can't decide if I should really say this was better off as a trilogy.
On one hand, the slower pace and the messiness it's what contributes to the dream-like atmosphere that it so unique. On the other one, it's quite unecessary and I saw myself skimming scenes because I already knew that wasn't going to play a major role on the actual plot.
If I praised the introduction to the world for holding up on rereads, I really can't say the same for the conclusion.
That being said, I really like the characters, and how they interact and develop and change is mesmerizing and captivating and what builds all of the three stars given.
