My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 I still can't figure out what The Raven Cycle is really about. 
 The Long Version: 
 I swapped between listening to the audiobook narrated by Will Patton, and reading a hardback from my library. Will Patton's narration was flawless like usual. And Stiefvater's writing has improved with each book in this series. I liked Blue Lily, Lily Blue (BLLB) more than The Dream Thieves, but I still feel like not much actually happened in this book. Honestly I still can't figure out what this series is about, but I love it anyways. 
 The synopsis for this book is vague as hell. Pretty much its about the gang starting their senior year, Noah going a bit wonky, Adam and Ronan having some nice bonding moments, Blue trying not to kiss Gansey, 300 Fox Way trying to locate Maura, blackmail, phone calls, and roadtrips. So...pretty much the usual. 
 BLLB is fast-paced. There is a lot of action and new characters. Readers finally get to meet the infamous Mallory and another character who might be too spoilery to name. Overall, I love the new characters. 
 I love how fast-paced Stiefvater's books are. BLLB was a quick read with an epic cliffhanger (I mean seriously?!?! she's going to leave it on that?). I am eager to read the next installment of this series, The Raven King.
