THE RAVEN CYCLE SUMMARY

Quick, dynamic video-summary of The Raven Cycle - a series of four contemporary fantasy novels written by American author Maggie Stiefvater. The first novel, The Raven Boys, was published by Scholastic in 2012, and the final book, The Raven King, was published on April 26, 2016. A reviewer writing for The Guardian commended the novel's characters as unique in comparison to "the collection of stereotypes we now see often in YA books." The New York Times' Anna Holmes complimented the novel's pacing and wrote that, "Stiefvater, who has an assured and entertaining way with language, doesn't talk down to her readers, and she ably blends the mystical and the earthly, the primitive and the contemporary in a way that brings to mind the work of John Bellairs, J. K. Rowling, Lois Duncan and Stephenie Meyer."
