Well first I have to say that there is obviously going to be another book in the series. And if there's not then there's a problem. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first couple. The middle was slow. In fact I didn't think the story really got interesting until the last quarter of the book.

This great series begins when Constable Evan Evans finds two bodies outside his small village. While it's not his job, he begins to investigate. The small village charm and great characters draw you into the story.

Fun Christian Romance
I’m usually not a romance person. Mainly because I don’t want to read about sex. I would rather the story continue. That being said, I love this Christian Romance series! The mystery of Regina’s grandmother kept me hooked, the romance between the characters developed slowly, and there were spiritual overtures scattered throughout the story.

I liked this story, not as much as [b:Heist Society|6574102|Heist Society (Heist Society, #1)|Ally Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1359254479s/6574102.jpg|6767235] though. It seemed slower moving and I wasn't as into it as I thought I might have been.
I am interested in reading the next book in the series soon.

Blue Lily, Lily Blue is the third book in the Raven Cycle series. The series started off slowly, but the second book was a huge improvement over the first. I chose to listen to the series via audiobook, which is different from the way I normally read books. The third was not quite as good as the second, but it still managed to be engaging and I finished it in two days. Of course, it would be best if you had read the first two books in the series before diving into this review.
Blue and her Raven Boys are drawing ever closer to the secret of the Raven King. It was nice to see continued main character development in this novel as it's important for me to connect with the characters when reading. I do wish that there had been more development of some of the supporting characters. There were events that occurred during this book that I feel would have had a stronger impact had readers developed more of a connection to the side characters. That being said, some of my favourite characters in this series are not the leads. They steal the scenes and make the story more enjoyable. (If you're curious, Chainsaw is probably my favourite character.)
The third book continues the trend of the inclusion of one side story and character that inevitably weaves its way into the narrative and plot. As I felt in the first book, this was the least enjoyable aspect of the plot. At times these scenes plodded along and slowed down the narrative, perhaps their importance will be seen further down the road but in this novel at least, I felt that this entire character's more prominent feature in the story was unnecessary. There should have been another way to set the final chapter's events in motion without them.
I am now completely invested in the story, although I still feel that things in the world and magic system have not been adequately explained. I've come to care about what happens to (some of) these characters and can't wait to find out what happens in the conclusion of this series.
