Publisher's summary

The fourth and final installment in the spellbinding series from irrepressible, number-one New York Times best-selling author Maggie Stiefvater.

All her life, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love's death. She doesn't believe in true love and never thought this would be a problem, but as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore.

In a starred review for Blue Lily, Lily Blue, Kirkus Reviews declared: "Expect this truly one-of-a-kind series to come to a thundering close."

Critic reviews

"Male or female, young or old, human or not, [narrator Will] Patton perfectly captures each character's voice and personality, maintaining the consistency of the series. He's a master at creating suspense, conveying action, and helping the listener feel the full weight of love and sorrow... This don't-miss performance rounds out an excellent young adult series with crossover appeal for older listeners." ( AudioFile)

Stupendous

The writing is beautiful Will Patton's voice , timing and expression of each character exquisite. The series has been a delight and although it is a young adult fiction this 52-year-old has been enthralled. I hope there are more to come

Great overall production.

I loved the subtle differences in voice that Patton uses and the songs and quotes at the beginning and ends were great.

Am I dreaming?

This book (series) is almost impossible to review. I can't properly explain other than to say it has a dreamlike quality to it. This book even more so than the rest of the series. Just like in a dream, you are a character in the story. You become the person and yet still see things as if you were just an observer. When you finally start to grasp everything and make sense of what's really happening- you wake up! Have you ever had a vivid dream that you had to tell someone about, only to find that you can't find a single word to properly describe it? That's this series.

This book takes us back to the beginning and completes the cycle. It began on the corpse road and it ended on the corpse road and everything that happened was how it was always supposed to happen. It's the characters that make it so special. I highly recommend this series. The writing is beautiful and the audio narration was perfect.
