This book was music, which is apt because of the running theme of music serving as a common language and an outlet for the soul. A lot of times, I finish a book and feel unsatisfied because I wanted more, to find out more, to keep reading and for the book to never end. This book was different. When it ended, I sighed. I smiled. It was perfect. The journey that Blue started had ended and there wasn't any further need to know what happens next because that ending was completely satisfying and I was content knowing that no matter what, Blue had learned and grown enough during the course of the book that she'll be okay.
Reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS and Seanan McGuire's SPARROW HILL ROAD, DEVIL AND THE BLUEBIRD shows a side of America which harkens back to the days of the folk music revolution, where music reigned and had the power to change the world. Shades of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie (literally) pass through the book's pages and just like Blue, I remembered how powerful music - music that is true and heatfelt and from the soul - can be.
This book was absolutely gorgeous and I knew partway through that this was something special I haven't seen in the YA genre in a long time, if ever.
The only thing missing from this was a soundtrack. I would have loved a list of songs to listen to while reading this.
