Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater
"Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.
The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost.
Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel."
“It should have been impossible. No one should have been able to dream any of these thing, much less all of them. But Adam had seen what Ronan could do. He'd read the dreamt will and ridden in the dreamt Camaro and been terrified by the dreamt night terror.
It was possible that there were two gods in this church.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue
I am very frustrated with how slow this series is moving. The bright spot of this book was a new character introduced. Gwenllian is just bizarre and wonderful in a weird way that I really like. There were also some really good Adam and Ronan moments in this book which I really enjoyed. But just about all of the other Aglionby students drove me nuts.
I listened to the audiobook of this one. And as with the first book, it was read by Will Patton who did a fantastic job with the story. He felt believably like all the characters he read for. And there was a really beautiful song at the end of the audiobook which I believe is the song that Gwenllian was singing through most of this book. It was really beautifully done and such a cool detail to make the audiobook it’s own experience from reading the book.
