Opal: A Raven Cycle Story

Magic.

I’d already read Opal in ebook, but was thrilled to get an audio version of this short story. The charm of Will Patton’s narration adds a layer of enjoyment to the unfettered pleasure that is a Maggie Stiefvater read. This series is painfully good—one of my all time favorites, and I’m very much looking forward to Call Down the Hawk for more of the story.

Happiness and sadness of dream things

Magical little story set at The Barns, told from fey little Opal's point of view. Ronan and Adam are a couple and the future is bright but also brittle. I cried. 5 stars, a must for the readers of The Raven Cycle (though I'm not sure it stands on it own).

Pure delight.

I forgot how much I enjoyed this series and these characters. As soon as it was available I paused the story I'd been listening to and started it immediately. It was like meeting up with well loved friends again. I've read the story, but Will Patton's narration brings so much more to the experience and that's saying something, because Maggie Stiefvater's writing is superb. Evocative and lyrical, she effortlessly transported me into the Opal's world from the first word and left me sad to be released at the last. But I'm happy too. Content at this small sip and looking forward to the next book's release, Call Down the Hawk, in Nov.
