The plot thickens in Book III of The Raven Circle. Don't even think of reading this if you haven't read the first two. It's confusing enough if you are familiar with the story. This book focuses on my favorite character, Blue Sargent. She and her family have been drawn into the strange quest of the raven boys. They seek a sleeping Welch king who was buried centuries ago. He who awakens the king will be granted a favor. I know this sounds improbable, but I'm actually starting to believe in it. However, there are also dangerous people on the same path. One of the characters has been dead from the beginning of this series. Noah was killed by one of those dangerous people years earlier but his ghostly presence is still involved in the hunt. Others will also die in this part of the story. I will read the final installment as soon as I can get my hands on it. Maggie Stiefvater has woven a complex and improbable story with complex and improbable characters.
