The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater is the fourth and final book in The Raven Cycle series. I'm going to try to do this without giving too much away from the other books. I read the other three a few years ago. Then, I had to wait for this one to be published. This series is a young adult series. There are some topics that are not suitable for kids or tweens. The first one in the series was my favorite. The whole series is full of paranormal elements... magical locations, clairvoyants, psychics, other worldly entities and even a demon. The series is well written and the characters are well developed. I would definitely recommend reading the series. However, don't just pick up this book or any of the others and think it will be fine to read it out of order. It won't be. These books build on each other and have topics that if you don't get the background from the previous book, then you will be very confused. I will say that there were several things about this book in particular, being the last, that left me still confused as to the how and/or the why about certain aspects of the storyline. But, overall, it was not enough to make me not enjoy the series or even this book. I would definitely recommend this book and series as long as you can deal with the juvenile tendencies of the teenage characters.
I give this book a 3.5 out 5 and the series a 4.5 out of 5.
