An enchanting story from Maggie Stiefvater featuring Opal, Ronan, and Adam from her bestselling Raven Cycle, taking place after the events of The Raven King.
I loved The Raven Cycle. I’m not entirely sure of the last time I devoured a series so quickly (it was probably some Tamora Pierce when I was in middle school), but I felt legitimately heartbroken when I finished The Raven King and the series had come to a close. Little did I know, there was a novella about Opal, Ronan’s dream girl! Opal features a few short glimpses into the lives of Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish after the events of The Raven King.
During the actual Raven Cycle, I didn’t care that much about Opal. I was too focused on Blue and all her Raven Boys and all of the terrible and wonderful things that happened to them. But here, in her novella, Opal was perfect. She’s so strange in such an endearing way. She’ll eat anything. She likes to spy on Ronan and Adam. She loves Adam so much and let me tell you, I can relate.
I just really love this world and I was so happy to spend a few more minutes in it.
Have you read Opal? Who’s your favorite Raven boy?

I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy it too! 😦 But I totally get that not every book works for everybody. There are a lot of books that everybody loves that I just didn’t.

I adore this novella! It was so magical to see our Raven Boys again and to get to read from Opal’s POV, she’s such a fascinating character.

Aww this sounds so great! I bought latest PB version of The Raven King, and this novella was attached in the back, so I have yet to read it. Nice review! 🙂
