BOOK REVIEW: THE RAVEN KING BY MAGGIE STIEFVATER

[@jane9561]

I'm still crying over Noah Czerny and his lack of mention in the epilogue i mean why yy

[@karkatvantas9557]

SPOILER He finally died at the end, that's why he's not in the epilogue.

[@jane9561]

+Karkat Vantas Um i know his soul's finally put to rest in the end? all i was saying was that they could've at least talked about him or mentioned him in the epilogue or smth i wasn't saying i expected to see Noah's ghost in the epilogue

[@arantxagarcia6300]

*Spoilers* The part at the end where Adam goes to confront his father literally broke me. Adam is my favorite fictional character probably ever and at that moment I was just so proud of him, words can't express how much I love him. And he going to college, having a boyfriend that cares so much about him (and a daughter) is everything I ever needed in life

[@LisaJohnsonBooks]

+Arantxa García what do you mean by daughter lol? I don't think the Orphan Girl's meant to be like a daughter to them haha

[@arantxagarcia6300]

+Lisa Johnson Yeah, I know haha I just like to see it that way because it makes me so happy. Besides Ronan does behave like a dad with her

[@bookishsophia]

+Arantxa García IM SO SO SO PROUD OF HIM YES. I didn't mention his growth over the course of the series but he arguably develops the most out of everyone and I love him for it

[@dessy_3]

Lol i actually love piper as a villain, i just find her POV so hilarious and fun because of her ridiculous personality. Also i just wish we'd gotten one small scene of the gang saying goodbye to noah because he was an important part of the group and i just feel like he kind of just faded away, which is sad. That would have been a really bittersweet but fitting ending, I feel like but w/e can't win em all. But pynch tho. PYNCH.

[@katyblack168]

iHeartsify Lol I know it's been almost a year since this comment but I only just finished TRK and I have to agree😂 generally the interactions of piper and greenmantle were absolutely hilarious

[@annfernandez3859]

Spoilers ahead: Okay, so I reread that scene with Noah saying goodbye to Gansey while he was dying, and it was suggested that Noah was the one who spouted that, "You will live because of Glendower" BS when Gansey was first dying back when he was a kid. So, I'm at a crossroads at whether to mentally flip Noah off or give him a hug, because while that caused a lot of heartbreak and hurt for the main characters, said characters probably wouldn't have met if it weren't for the search for Glendower. Also, I feel conflicted about the whole Henry/Blue/Gansey trio, because it just didn't feel the same. Don't get me wrong, I like Henry, but he was just too quickly introduced as a part of the group, and I felt like we needed more time with him as part of the group instead of, say, the last 70 pages or so.

[@holleay964]

Definitely! All of that Noah nonsense was awesome, but it made me mad but also really happy with Noah. I fullheartedly agree with you about Henry, although I like him, I didn't really have time to get to know him. I'm excited about them going out and spending the summer together, because that means that Ronan x Adam can be together, too. ^.^ And because Maggie Stiefvater is making a new series off of this that is focused on Ronan, I hope it will be taking place over this summer, so that we really get to have time with Ronan, Opal, Adam and the new Cabeswater maybe?? I'm so excited for it!

[@welldonebooks]

*spoilers in this comment; you've been warned:* ok so i'm typing this as you speak so excuse the sort of all over the place response. noah was definitely lacking in this book, but part of me sees it sort of as a symbol of them growing up and away from Henrietta. and conversely, Henry's presence felt to me like new opportunity, new friendship, etc. that comes with growing up. though i do think Henry should've been introduced as more than just a casual acquaintance in earlier books (cuz he does make appearances in BLLB so he's not totally a new character like Laumonier (sp?) and Seondeok (also sp? oops)). omg declan & ronan scene on the roof of the Barns was amazing. actual brOTP. my favorite chapter was the one between Blue & the 300 Fox Way women when they're asking Blue what she wants to do with her life. it's just so sweet & why i love this series so much, because it has so much heart in it. also even though it did leave some loose ends, other things resolved enough to leave me happy. like maggie also says, she wants the reader to be wanting--not out of lack but out of curiosity and love for the characters--which was definitely my situation. there may have been a few inconsistencies or holes but again this series is way more about the journey and the characters than it is about the destination. also yes, i loved the fact that Cabeswater sacrificed itself to save Gansey. it was so fitting! and i was completely shocked when we find out Ronan dreamed Cabeswater. it takes a lot to surprise me now but that one definitely did. it was also something minorly hinted at in the first book of the series (with the handwriting on the rocks in the forest)!! amazing. great review!! sorry for the majorly long comment.

[@bookishsophia]

+WellDoneBooks MAJORLY LONG COMMENTS ARE MY FAV, MAX. I love the point you made about Noah being the past and Henry representing growth and maturing. that's such a great interpretation!! but also on that note, being the overly nostalgic and sentimental person that I am, I would probably still hope that the boys would be able to combine their pasts and futures in a way that allows them freedom but also the opportunity to maintain old friendships if that makes sense?

[@Caraphatash]

Can I just say that I was on a train when Ronan and Adam first kissed to I had to hold in my emotions. Then the kiss at the Barns happened when I was in a lecture theatre before class, again having to only react internally so I won't get stared at. Anyways, I loved the book. I thought the epilogue was great because it gave Adam closure instead of leaving the family situation without answers.

[@bookishsophia]

+Natasha Bonnici ITS HARD TO READ IN PUBLIC WHEN U WANT TO EXPLODE INTO A MILLION PIECES. I admire your ability to keep yourself together

[@tinadoyle237]

1)Yes- where was Noah ?!? And too much Henry Chang. I liked him but he didn't belong the way Noah did 2) I ❤️ the lynch brothers coming together 3)I'm so confused by blue being a tree. 4) did Noah save gansey as he was a kid? How? I loved that he was who spoke to gansey in the beginning. 5) can blue and gansey kiss now? Great review! Thanks!

[@16shiib]

I kinda feel like Maggie was more focused on Ronan and Adam's development, because this are the characters that I feel evolve the most, I mean, I loved the side of Gansey we got to see in this book, but If we compare the Ronan and the Adam from book one, with the Ronan and the Adam from TRK, they are way more mature now, stronger and powerful, more at pace, more willing, and I'm so happy for this. Their interactions were everything, and the closure with Adams father, and the moments with the Lynch brothers, everything was just so sweet (or maybe I'm just biased because Adam is my favorite

[@thecherryblossompie]

This book destroyed me. A beautiful conclusion to a beautiful series.

[@bookishsophia]

+thecherryblossompie tru tru tru. I so agree

[@cookies77814]

I always felt this book was too short and didn't have enough development for the characters (even though I still loved it) and then Maggie announced the Ronan centric trilogy and I'M SO READY

[@knmacd]

I know this is a sappy question but do any of you know if Blue can actually kiss Gansey now without him dropping dead?

[@magdalenadolorico-francoeu4596]

ITS NOT SAPPY AT ALL I WISH THEY DIDNT LEAVE THAT UNANSWERED

[@abigail6394]

Great review! I felt the exact same way about Henry Cheng. Bluesey and Pynch were so adorable in this book! SPOILERS! .... The Toga Party was probably my favorite, just seeing Bluesey be a couple and not have to worry about what anybody thought was amazing. Also the scene where Pynch is laying on the couch, and the Gansey family loves Blue! Ugh! I could name a hundred moments as my favorite. I'm sad to see it go but I'm so happy with what happened in this book! :D

[@bookishsophia]

+BroadcastingBooks I loved the toga party too! that whole scene felt so dreamlike.

[@stkcrvn]

OKAY BUT DONT THROW IT AWAY MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH BECAUSE IN BOOK ONE NOAH SAYS TO GANSEY ''DONT THROW IT AWAY'' WHEN HE HAS THAT WEIRD MOMENT AT NIGHT WITH THE BEE AND I REMEMBER THINKING WHAT?? WHAT SHOULD HE NOT THROW AWAY AND NOW I JUST CAN'T STOP CRYING

[@michellemanganiello2707]

Adam and Ronan are my faves!!

[@bookishsophia]

+Michelle Manganiello I LOVE THEM TOO

[@natassa9297]

Spoilers ahead: I didn't trust Henry when he first showed up. It just felt like whenever we got to see more of a new character they always ended up as the bad guy, so when Henry was suddenly introduced I was very wary of him. Of course I ended up liking him, but I don't necessarily agree with how he became a part of the group out of nowhere. I did like that Maggie had him stand a bit away from the group in certain situations because he knew that this meant more to them than to him etc. I'm also very conflicted about this Blue/Gansey/Henry thing, because I can definitely see how it would benefit them, but to me personally it felt wrong because we didn't really know him. Then again, we sort of knew that the original group wouldn't be together all the time after finishing high school, so at least they all seem to be doing what they want to be doing. I wish we could've gotten to see a bit more of their thoughts toward the end. I feel like we never got to see Blue fully process that she was partly a tree thing (I don't remember what they're called whoops). I also selfishly wish that the very last scene of the book would've been a scene where all of them were together, instead of apart. I obviously don't want to get rid of the actual scenes, just add one more where they're together. I also don't really know what happened to Noah? LIke, did he pass on? Or? I was so confused. My theory before reading the book was that Noah would be the one to save Gansey in the end and then pass on while Gansey got to live again. I think that would've been very cool hah! I'm aware that I'm mostly listing things I wasn't super happy with, but trust me, I'm VERY satisfied with how it all ended. I like that we got a bit of an open ending, because anything can happen from now on. I like having the freedom of coming up with my own versions of how their futures will look. All in all, Maggie wrapped up this series beautifully, and while I've got questions I'm mostly just very happy with how things turned out. Great review and sorry for writing a whole novel in the comments section xx

[@holleay964]

Well said! I was definitely a little wary of Henry, too. Although I do like him, we didn't really get to know him, and now suddenly he's part of a new sort of group with Blue and Gansey? I feel like Maggie really should have given us more of Henry, more time to get to know him and probably really like him. That's the only complaint I have about the series, except, we didn't get to have Ronan and Adam have a scene were they actually talked about how they feel or what is going to happen with them. We had the ending, and we can only assume from it that they are dating, but we really don't know. Maggie is making a new series about and from Ronan's POV, which I am so excited for!

[@natassa9297]

I'm VERY excited for the Ronan series, and hopefully it will answer a few questions that the last book left me with. It's been a few months now since I finished the series, and I can safely say that Henry, in the way he's been portrayed and praised in the fandom at least, has really grown on me. I'm sure a reread would be very interesting since I now know that he isn't a bad guy. Even though it seems a bit unlikely (and I really DO want it to focus on Ronan since he's my favorite), I hope the new series will give us a little glimpse of Henry. I feel like it will be very different now that we (sort of) know him. Oh and Pynch. Please give me Pynch in the new series, I'm begging you Stiefvater.

[@holleay964]

Haha, she better give us Pynch or she's going to find an angry mob at her doorstep.

[@nikkisabate6075]

Great video!! I just finished this book and I was also in tears. Noah's final scene when he whispers to young Gansey the words he's been carrying around his whole life just gave me goosebumps. I'm definitely going to miss these characters 😭

[@bookishangie]

I hesitantly clicked on this because I have yet to read books 2-4 (so I may quickly come back to this video after I've read through the series hehe!) , but am also tempted and excited to hear everything that needs to be said about The Raven King hahaha I'm glad to know that it was a good conclusion to the series--I know that sometimes its difficult for last books to really hit the mark when it comes to wrapping up a series in the most appropriate way possible. ALSO BEAUTIFUL COVER ALERT *cries from TRK cover. Honestly the first book was beyond my expectations. Like, the summary at the back does not do it justice, and I did not think of picking it up until I buddy read it with a friend. I literally could not put it down and kept flipping back at the summary as I read through thinking "This is NOT what I expected?!" haha :D

[@maradryer5658]

YES YES YES you literally described my thoughts. i try and look at this book critically but i just can't because these are my kids and i love them so much so anything they're in i'll love

[@bookishsophia]

+mara dryer I love these characters so much

[@UserNB11]

BECKY WITH THE GOOD HAIR OMg byeeee

[@bookishsophia]

+Sleepy Nim 😎😏

[@joshccj]

Piper! Becky with the good hair! lol

[@ashleedawn456]

I don't hate the ending and I really love the epilogue but there was something a little unsatisfying about it. Why would he die? Why would the entire series lead up to his fate? I imagined that after they found Glendower dead that somehow they would kill the demon (wether it be because of Gansey's death or not) which would wake Glendower and then they could ask him for Gansey's life.

[@patriciakrizelletunque5445]

I still need closure from this series. Ugh. Can we have a longer epilogue? The last few chapters happened too fast for me. I can't even process what happened in the end. Amen to your review.

[@magdalenadolorico-francoeu4596]

I AGREE. i was actually pretty disappointed by TRK.😭

[@nikkinana]

Absolutely loved this series. Thanks so much for the recommendation. The Raven King definitely did not disappoint. I agree there was too much Henry Chang. The ease of which he just became apart of this tight knit group of friends felt a bit weird to me. I honestly kept waiting for him to betray Gansey the whole time. I loved Pynch, so worth the wait. I held my breath so many times while reading this book thinking it was going to finally be when Gansey died. I thought he would die by Blue's kiss but part of me was wondering if Maggie Stiefvater would surprise us by killing him a different way. I swear I held my breath throughout the entire scene with Gansey and Henry in that hole. So many great moments in this book. Now I'm hoping for a spinoff where Mr. Gray takes on the devious buyers of magical items.

[@holleay964]

Haha, Maggie is actually making a new series from Ronan's POV, which I am SO excited for!

[@gemmalouiseg]

this was such a great review!! (i too am having ronan withdrawals right now and possibly for the rest of my life tbh) on one hand i agree that i would have liked to have seen more of noah because i love him lots and the raven boys clearly did too but on the other hand i feel like it was a conscious decision to have less of him in this book. even in the first book (which is when he is the most tangible) he can't be seen by lots of characters and the way blue describes the moments when he arrives around her make it seem like he is hard to grasp and maybe we are meant to see and understand less and less of him over the course of the series/as he decays. i have no idea if that made any sense haha. tbh the thing i most disliked about this book was how maggie stopped talking about /looks/. in the first three books every look /spoke/ which made moments more weighted and funny (eg in BLLB when they go to calla to get a reading for ronan and calla says "is he the pretty one" and then it says something like - Blue and Gansey exchanged a look. Blues look said "I am so so sorry". Ganseys look said "am I the pretty one?") that quirky way of writing was so perfect to me and i was really sad that it wasnt in the raven king at all (yeah i know thats a very minor thing to dislike haha i still completely loved the book) also i would have liked to see henry earlier on as i dont even know how he fits into the group when adam and ronan are there and that makes me uncomfortable. Sorry this is such a long comment i clearly have a lot of feelings

[@bookscrumpets99]

R.I.P Noah......And i don't mean that as R.I.P for his passing, but for his presence at all in this book. R.I.P Noah's ending, where BLOOP he's gone and there's no narration to help us bask in the fact that he passed. And yeah, Luminier was not even needed :( but other than those things and some other things i addressed on my channel as well, the book was amazing. Pynch was so enjoyable and I'm so glad that we got closure (at least in a way).

[@bookishsophia]

+Books & Crumpets LOL so tru. RIP NOAH

[@yessismiles]

I agree about Noah. I was sad he was barely mentioned, he started to fade away and nobody even seemed to care.

[@nkonde9190]

It was truly a beautiful work of art!! I love the whole book series and I wish I didn't read it just so I can read it for the first time again.

[@JMukhi]

Ok someone enlighten me. I finished this book just now. And I can't comprehend what happened to the demon once Piper was shot ? Did I miss something ?

[@holleay964]

Haha, Gansey was a sacrifice. He sacrificed himself to kill the demon, I don't completely get how that worked, but basically, a life costs a life. To end a life, you have to sacrifice one? But to save a life, you also have to sacrifice one. Little confusing. But Gansey died so that the demon would die, I think he used his powers of "comanding"(?) to help it to work. Then Cabeswater sacrificed its physical form, the one that Ronan dreamt, to sort of make a human, then that's what was sacrificed to bring Gansey back. But the demon is definitely dead, so is Piper.

[@bibiruviski]

SPOILER ok I´ve got a question: Blue and Gansey will never kiss each other again because of her curse OR (for some strange reason that I really hope it´s true) the curse was only for their first kiss? “If you kiss your true love, he'll die." forever??? REALLY? I can't deal with it. sorry for by bad english but I really need to know!!!!!! thankss

[@michellemanganiello2707]

This was my most anticipated book release of 2016! It was a bit disappointing, but still AWESOME!!!!

[@angel37446]

I've been wondering if anyone felt the way I did. great series but a poor conclusion after 12 plus months of waiting. I like it but something was missing for me. from Adam and Ronan kiss / relationship. To Henry's co-starring role. to not really getting an understanding of who Artemis is and what he meant to glendower. I don't know I was just very disappointed. I will say that the first 30 chapters I did not think that she would end the series. I thought that it would be a book 5 but then she realized that she was 40 chapters in and had to end it and she just rushed it.

[@michellemanganiello2707]

I know I feel a bit similar. I wished she had developed Adam and Ronan's relationship more. It was just not that good for such long of a wait.

[@bookishsophia]

+Michelle Manganiello I'm so sorry you were disappointed!! which parts did you not like?

[@michellemanganiello2707]

I wanted a bit more development of Adam and Ronan's relationship and of Maura and Mr.Gray's relationship. I also wanted to see more of Noah and I felt the ending was just a teeny bit rushed. However, the book was still super good and I honestly still really really enjoyed it :)

[@---ut6fk]

I was disappointed but /shrugs/ it was still really good, I like where everyone ended up. I will miss these books SO MUCH

[@---ut6fk]

+casey s YES PYNCH YESSSS. I couldn't breathe through all their moments

[@bookscrumpets99]

+casey s same. pynch was amazing, i loved henry, some of the scenes were so intense, but the thing i was most excited for was the ending and the ending was over in a flash with no cushion narration to allow the reader to bask in everything that just happened. BLOOP! You're in the epilogue lol

[@---ut6fk]

+Books & Crumpets Yes, I agree! It should've been about 50 pages longer. Or maybe 4 books longer idk just saying :)))

[@bookishsophia]

+casey s i'm sorry you were disappointed!

[@---ut6fk]

+thebookbasement Well, mostly about spoilery things, I was invested in the Glendower plot so.... you know. Also, I wanted more ot5 moments. Other than that, it was small things, because I still really loved the book! :)

[@shahdashraf8495]

but one of the things I really liked about this book regarding Noah is that we got to see a different version of Noah: the one where he's ALIVE both literally and metaphorically

[@vinccichung5355]

Henry's dad is from Hong Kong, right? So he's half Korean and half Hong Kong? Cheng is a common last name in Hong Kong

[@doublehelixalchemist8678]

You convinced me! Going to pick up this series next!!

[@bookishsophia]

+Steel Inquisitor yes!!!! I'm so excited for you!

[@malublue1013]

It really bothered me that Glendower was dead all along. There were so many hints of Gansey being Glendower and also what I believed where hints that the gang would travel to the past (like the old wheel of the camaro being in the lake) that I feel were ignored by Maggie, because she didn’t know how to develop them. To me, it feels like bad storytelling to build up something so meaningful from the beginning and then say it wasn’t really that important. This is quite literally the only aspect of The Raven Cycle that bothered me, I love everything else.

[@rethidatek]

Hi Sophia! I know this is four years late, but Henry’s last name comes from his dad who’s from Hong Kong if I recall correctly.

[@gergerwgrewj]

Thank you SO MUCH for reviewing TRK!!!!!!!

[@bookishsophia]

+skipwithbooks thank you so much for watching!!!

[@LisaJohnsonBooks]

Great review! You pretty much summarized my thoughts. Such a fantastic conclusion to one of the most fantastic series I've ever read and probably will ever read.

[@bookishsophia]

+Lisa Johnson yay thank you so much! and yes I agree.

[@mathilde3157]

*spoilers ahead* I really honestly thought, until I had finished this book, that Henry Cheng was going to betray them all. (but I was very happy when he did not, because he's, like, very cool.) I feel the same about Noah! He has been one of my favorite characters since book one, and we almost didn't see him in this book. I would have liked to see more of him, but I'm still very satisfied with how he ended up. I never would've thought that this... thing? with Gansey would be like that! Overall, I'm so so happy with The Raven King. It was exactly what I wanted it to be, beautiful and mysterious and full of amazing characters.

[@andreapaternina5048]

Heeeeey. So, I read all the books except for the last book. I read The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily Lily Blue with no problem but for some reasons I can't get through The Raven King sooooi please tell me something that will encourage me to finish reading it pleaaaaase. I really want to read it completely

[@anabiahumayoum24]

Spoilers Ahead‼️ • I think I really loved how Henry easily blended with the other Raven boys. Especially how Gansey felt about him like he found someone just like him, who’s willing to invest his secrets to build the relationship, trusting instantly. • Things I learnt from Gansey: To be authoritative while being kind To be afraid and Happy at the same time To have a storm raging inside with a smile on the face. HONOURABLE MENTIONS : •Lynch brothers scenes made my heart swell. When Declan narrated him his father’s story about Ronan, the roof scene at Barns. And pls don’t get me started on Pynch. I LIVE FOR THAT SH*T •Adams confrontation with his parents and the way he said ‘ I appreciate your honesty’ my heart leapt with joy and sorrow at the same time. I literally had to take a moment to clear my vision because of tears • When Adam(demon) was trying to kill Ronan, Ronan held him and just said ‘ it’s okay , we know it’s not you’ my heart squeezed •Persephone advices Adam for the last time and helped him reclaim his body again. And omg when she said miss you. 😭 • The chapter after Ganseys death was so difficult to digest, like was he actually dead ? They were literally moving his body to sideways. Ronan crying. Blue and Adam just staring. Henry asking them all to be his magicians. Hdjsjsja it was all too much to fathom And so many more moments that I can’t summarise here 😭 P.S I LOVED YOUR REVIEW I FELT LIKE YOU WERE READING MY MIND NOT EVEN KIDDING

[@anabiahumayoum24]

Sorry for the rant I just finished the series and I’m too emotional rn I needed someone to rant to and I found you

[@NataliaLeigh]

Great video! I just uploaded my review recently, and oh my gosh it was so long! I had to cut it down from 35 minutes because I had so much to say! xD

[@_Sedorikku97]

The whole time Gansey and Henry was racing after the ravens I thought that Henry would betray Gansey any moment. 😂

[@DolphinGirl826]

okay i'm so confused about the noah think like what happened at the end i get that that was him like finally passing on to being like Actually Dead but like which gansey was he whispering to, young dying gansey or current dying gansey? and why did he say "you will live because of glendower" when glendower never had anything to do with it? i also wish there had been a seen where they said goodbye to noah or at least mentioned him in the epilogue.... i don't think they forgot about him but i just wish we'd gotten that reassurance

[@jane9561]

i think it's because of how they explained that time was a circle and not a line and that present/past/future are happening at the same time. So when gansey was dying, somewhere young gansey is dying as well, doesnt matter if it happened in the past cause like they said time is a circle. So when Noah said that thing about gansey not dying because of glendower, he knows that this would result to gansey starting his quest of finding the welsh king, and it's what would lead gansey adam Ronan Noah and blue to one another. (sorry idk how to explain it properly lol)

[@stevetrowbridge7425]

I really want to read the Raven Cycle series, it sounds really interesting but there are so many other series that I want to try out too, kind of overwhelming. Obviously I couldn't watch this review without being spoiled but I really like your channel. I found out about it by your throne of glass book review and I really agreed with that review. I also saw you're video about more critical reviews and I definitely found that one to be interesting and insightful as well. Also, I was wondering if there was a certain book you could check out?

[@holleay964]

You must read this series! I finished it only a few months ago, but it was a wonderful series. I highly recommend it. Although, the start of the first book is a little hard, because of Maggie Stiefvater's writing style, but you just have to get used to it, and it becomes SO worth it!

[@stevetrowbridge7425]

Oh I've definitely got interest in reading it for sure, it sounds amazing! It's just that I've got so much to read and so little time to read, lol! But I'll definitely make it a priority to read this the Raven Cycle series! And yeah I've heard that the beginning of the first book is a bit slow and hard to get into but I've experienced that before and I've always been able to overcome that so it shouldn't be a problem.

[@holleay964]

+It's Meg!! I'm glad you have a lot of feelings lol. they make for good discussion. I'm not upset about the fact that pynch wasn't defined. perhaps Maggie is saying that not every relationship needs to be defined or labeled?

+thebookbasement it wasn't just that that made me mad about pynch, and maybe maggie did have a reason but it's definitely a thing that authors tend to with lgbt couples. Adam didn't even tell ronan that he liked him? like that would be so important to him to get some sort of reassurance yknow? a lot of people are happy about it because lgbt never gets good relationships but I'd like it better if they were handled as well as bluesy was if you get what im saying
