I enjoyed Book 1 of this series - The Raven Boys - very much. But then Book 2 - The Dream Thieves - was something of a disappointment, mainly because I felt it focused too much on one character. 
 Fortunately, book 3 - Blue Lily, Lily Blue - was a return to form. The dream shenanigans in Book 2 now really do appear to have been a diversion from the main plot. With Book 3 we're back on track; it feels like the band got back together and back on their quest. Thank goodness for that. 
 This was as entertaining and easy-to-read as Book 1. All the characters had something to do in progressing the action. It was a fun read, but I do start to question whether this series needed to be 4 books long. After a while it starts to feel as if the characters are running around for no reason other than to eke things out. Having said that, as long as their running around continues to be this entertaining, I won't complain too loudly! 
 Now I just hope the final installment is even better!
