The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

4.0

After a long break I am back to Blue and her Raven boys.

The Raven King is the fourth and last book in the Raven Boys series and instead of slowing down to bring the story to an end, the action picks up pace even more.

I have to admit that this is my least favourite book in the series. It's definitely the most twisted and at times it's hard to stay on track of what's going on. Alongside Blue and her boys we see a lot of new characters being introduced (the Laumonier triplets, Henry, his mom, Piper, Neeve etc.) a few hundred pages before the end of the series and the author juggles their stories sometimes causing a bit of confusion. I think the author should have focused more on bringing the story to an end instead of introducing new elements to the plot. In addition to that I think she went a little overboard with the magical creatures, the demon and others.

Although it wasn't the best booo in the series, overall it was a pretty light and pleasant read. I think it's a great series and I'll definitely come back to it sometime.
