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." Review: Such a brilliant ending! - This. Book. Is. Glory. It is pure glory and gods-tier. To take the first three books and build up their undeniable amazingness and be able to bring it all home in the most incredible and epic fashion is not easy to do, but Maggie nailed it here. A ride from beginning to end, the characters perfect, the events perfect, I could wax poetic about this book forever. Maggie is absolutely masterful with her ability to evoke emotions, and the tension in this book is stunning, soaring off the pages. If you're concerned about reading the series because you need a good ending, have no fear. Knowing what I know now about this book, would I still read it if I went back in time? Always and forever. See below for the four criteria I use to decide whether and when to read a book CHARACTERS: What is there to say? The characters just keep getting better. As they learn and grow, they've come to a place where they need to tackle some final humps to truly congeal into a team and they absolutely do it here. Relationships are solidified, Blue, Gansey, Adam, and Ronan and Noah are perfect in their teenage selves simultaneously being a part of "something more." Even Henry, who we met in the previous book, is a lovely addition, although sure it would have been nice if he'd been around earlier in the series. But everyone we've come to know and love is a part of this book. PLOT: The end is nigh. With danger from the mystical and the mundane snapping at their heels, Blue and the boys need to find Glendower quickly, before it's too late. None of them wants to believe that Blue's prophecy will come true either. But truths need to come to light, trust solidified, and the four of them working together as well as with all the help they can get to protect Henrietta, the ley line, and Gansey before it's too late. EMOTIONAL INTENSITY: There is no good/bad here. Sometimes I just want a low-investment entertainment read whereas other times a high-stakes 'I need a therapist to recover' is what I need. 4:5/high. Honestly, as entertaining as it is, the tension is impeccable in this story. It's not so much triggering as it is evocative and immersive. CATHARTIC FULFILLMENT: Is the emotional journey worth it? Do I finish this book feeling that I've crested the wave of the climactic moment and everything has been settled, leaving me settled and fulfilled? 95%. I will say, I do wish always for more denouement, because I adore these characters and wanted the chance to spend time with them after their quest is finished. I also felt one thing in relation to Noah was left sadly unresolved. That being said, finishing this book is a breath of fresh air after holding it the entire book. So worth it. Glorious. Review: Tremendous Ending to a Brilliant, Favorite Series - My favorite part of the experience was the thrill of reading NEW words from Maggie, new Raven Cycle words! I always love Maggie's words and characters and sense of storytelling. She has a very recognizable style. It had been so long since we've gotten a new book and the other Raven books are so familiar to me by now. For me, the thrill of holding and reading The Raven King felt similar to getting a brand new Harry Potter book in my hands, which is the highest honor I can give. And one I never expected when I began this series. I already can't wait to read it again because I know I raced through it, but how could I not? I NEEDED TO KNOW THINGS. The nuance and linguistic brilliance shines through of course, but it is a whole other animal when you have the opportunity to really sink into her words and turns of phrase. When you can see little dots connecting all over the series like its own sort of ley line. It's very rewarding. The Raven King is the best sort of series ender. It pulls together disparate plot points in a brilliant way and builds on the characterization we've come to expect from our favorite characters while allowing them to grow. Everyone was just.... more in this book. That's the best way to put it. There is a sense of urgency and dread that isn't lost on anyone and it makes the emotions stand out in technicolor. It was frightening at times, but also sad and humorous and tremendously lovely. There are lots of excellent otp and brotp moments. It's full of Maggie's wry humor; she has this magnificent way of twisting the knife in your heart while simultaneously making you grin. It's a tremendous five star book for me but I'll leave it to you to glean what you want from that. There are a lot of Moments and she is able to gather her threads and knot them together in a very satisfying manner. I was content with the book individually and the series as a whole. Can't wait to reread soon! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #150,268 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #167 in Teen & Young Adult Myths & Legends #302 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal & Urban Fantasy #330 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal Romance | ## Images ![The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, Book 4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wWKLtEl1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a brilliant ending! *by K***) on May 17, 2025* This.

Can't wait to reread soon! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Come for the foretelling, stay for the characters *by C***R on June 14, 2016* The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater is a young adult supernatural novel entering around Blue Sargent, Gansy and their search for Welsh king Glendower. It is a quartet made up of The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, Blue Lily Lily Blue and The Raven King. it is told from multiple points of view. I will say that it took me some time to get into this series – at least two attempts of starting the book, and putting it down again. This is despite a kickass opening in which the whole conflict of the series is laid out; it is foretold that Blue will kill her one true love when she kisses him, and Gansy is fated to die within the year. That is the hook to lure you into this series – you can’t help but want to know if these foretellings come true. My initial struggle with this book is partly because, at first glance, the main protagonists are rather unappealing. Gansy comes across as rich, arrogant and entitled. Ronan is snarky and belligerent. Adam is stubborn and independent to a fault and Noah is insipid. It’s only when you get further into the books that the deeper layers of these characters are revealed and your understanding of them deepens. After that I was very happy to continue marathoning the series. There is a whole arc running through the series with resolutions of plot points in the first book only coming through in the final instalment. Each book has its own theme which feeds into the major series story arc. It is very well tied together if not overly complex. The Raven Boys is all about the setup; introducing the main driving plot of the series, the characters and the world. The Dream Thieves is Ronan’s story and how his ability will aid his friends in their quest. Blue Lily, Lily Blue focusses on Blue and also on deepening the relationships amongst the group and The Raven King ties everything up. What I liked The characters. The well written, nuanced and flawed characters and their relationships are the highlight of this series. Stiefvater has developed a wonderful set of characters and the relationships that develop among them are beautiful to read. They truly are stronger because they know each other. The relationships are all unique; Blue acts differently with Noah than she does with Adam, and Gansy has a different relationship to Ronan than to Noah. Additionally, the characters we meet in The Raven Boys are not the same ones we say farewell to in The Raven King – they have been changed by their experiences and each other. That is one thing that always attracts me to a book series. It is mainly for the characters and character development that I continued reading this series. I loved that each member of the group has his or her own strengths and weaknesses and each has a part to play in the story. The world. I loved the world Stiefvater created. The kind of supernaturalness – ley lines, tarot, spiritualists/mediums – is one that always gets under my skin. It’s superbly well done. What I didn’t like Not immediately likeable protagonists. Though I was fascinated by the characters and engaged in their stories, I didn’t love them the way that I have loved some other protagonists. Their stories were wonderful to read, but I’m not exactly sure I’d like to meet up with any of them for coffee. After four books, I certainly felt as if I understood Gansy, Ronan and Adam a great deal better, even if I didn’t necessarily always like them. This weakened the ending somewhat for me. The Raven Cycle is an excellent series and well worth reading for the well written, nuanced characters and worldbuilding. As a whole I gave the series four stars out of five. four-stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/111455238-the-raven-king-the-raven-cycle-book-4](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/111455238-the-raven-king-the-raven-cycle-book-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
