Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater: Review


RATING: 5/5 stars!
 
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Source: Library
Release date: October 21, 2014
Find it on Goodreads here!
 
SUMMARY (from Goodreads):
 
HIGHLIGHT TO VIEW
 
There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up.

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.

The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost.

Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.


REVIEW:

Since this is the third book in a series, I'll do my best to keep it brief.

This is my favorite Maggie Stiefvater book so far. It is complex, and intriguing, and I loved absolutely every minute of it.

If you have not read this series, I highly suggest that you do so immediately.

CONTENT: I read this a while ago, so my memory is a little hazy. No sex, but there is some kissing, and one of the characters is possibly homosexual. Heavy swearing (several uses of the f word) and heavy violence.
