Title: Blue Lily, Lily Blue
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Release date: March 4th, 2015
Publisher: Scolastic Press
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Warning: Since this is the third book in The Raven Cycle, there will be (minor) spoilers for the previous books in this review. Don’t read this review if you have not read The Raven Boys and The Dream Thieves (If you have only read the first book then you could check out my review of The Dream Thieves here).
I started reading this book the minute I put The Dream Thieves down (thank God I already had the entire series on my shelf cause the previous book ended with a pretty good cliffhanger).
Title: A Court of Mist and Fury
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Release date: May 5th, 2016
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Rating: 5/5 stars
Warning: This is the second book in a series. If you have not read A Court of Thorns and Roses, I do not recommend reading this review any further.
Warning #2: This book contains graphic scenes of a sexual nature. If you are not comfortable reading this then I would recommend skipping this book.
Now that all of that is out of the way… I have to say I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first book in this series (trilogy? Does someone know how many books there will be, cause I am very confused). I thought Feyre was beyond annoying and Tamlin, boy oh boy don’t even get me started on Tamlin. The only characters that I really enjoyed reading about in ACOTAR were Lucien and Rhysand. So I wasn’t very eager to read this book. However, everyone and their mother seemed to absolutely adore this book, even if they weren’t the biggest fan of the first one. So I decided I would give it a go, and boy am I happy I did!

Rating: 4/5 stars
Warning: Since this is the second book in The Raven Cycle, there will be (minor) spoilers for the first book in this review. Don’t read this review if you have not read The Raven Boys.
I picked this book up almost right after I finished reading The Raven Boys (this was at the beginning of July, last year), but I didn’t manage to get very far. After that, I kept picking it up and putting it down because I just wasn’t in the mood for it. But a couple of days ago I decided to give it another try and boy, am I happy that I did.
