To see Adam and Ronan through her eyes was such a funny and intriguing experience. Opal is such an honest character and I absolutely adored her innocence and the way she perceives the world. Seriously, I didn’t even realize that I needed this so badly, but to be back in this world!? Ahh, it was so amazing and more than just wholesome for my heart. She had no lust, because Ronan hadn’t dreamt any for her, but she also had no shame, because Ronan hadn’t dreamt any of that for her, either.”

Have you read this novella? What did you think about it? I hope that you have enjoyed this extra post and I will see you all again very soon.”With intellectual curiosity, she watched ribs and hips and arms and legs and spines. If you are a fan of The Raven Cycle, you need to read this story!Īnd there we have it. Seriously Stiefvater! How long are you going to keep us hanging?!?! All in all, this was a truly brilliant novella and I am so thankful that I stumbled across it.

It tied up a few loose ends left over from the Raven King, gave us some adorable Pynch moments and it honestly just made me really want the dreamer trilogy right now. It actually gave me feels! That never fucking happens with novellas! It just felt so much longer than it actually was. I was honestly so surprised by this novella. It really delves into the dream side of the world.

the story is from orphan girl’s POV and follows Ronan and Adam over the summer after the events in The Raven King. This little story has really set us up for the Ronan trilogy that we are getting at some point in the future. It was only 40 pages long but Stiefvater packed so much into those 40 pages. last week I finished the Raven King and decided to read Opal, which is set after it. So naturally, I looked it up and then brought it. I had never heard of this novella, never seen anyone talking about, I didn’t even know that it existed. I stumbled across this little novella by accident a few weeks ago when I was listing The Raven King as a currently reading book on Goodreads. Yep, today it is all about Opal by Maggie Stiefvater. It is bonus book review time! What! I have been doing loads of these recently! Anywho, today’s review is for a novella based in the Raven Cycle universe.
