i didn't start this series thinking it would become my favorite, but it did, and now that i'm done with it, i don't really know what to do with myself.

Though she is from a family of clairvoyants, Blue Sargent's only gift seems to be that she makes other people's talents stronger. When she meets Gansey, one of the boys from the expensive Aglionby Academy, she discovers that he has talents of his own--and that together their talents are a dangerous mix. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as "raven boys", they can only mean trouble. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the raven boys, she's not so sure anymore.

 by Maggie Stiefvater is a spellbinding novel that fascinated me with its gripping plot and ensemble of characters. It kept me wanting to read the rest of the series. This book not only surpassed my expectations (which were none since I went in there with absolutely no idea of what the book was about), but also left me eagerly anticipating the rest of the series.

One of the most captivating aspects of "The Raven Boys" is the rich and diverse ensemble of characters. Each one is carefully crafted with their own distinct personalities and quirks that make them come alive on the pages. Even the secondary characters serve a purpose, and don't just feel like ornaments in the book.

Ronan is a rough-around-the-edges character, brought a refreshing contrast to the group. His edgy demeanor and complex nature added depth to the dynamics among the friends, particularly when juxtaposed with Noah and Adam. I found his character to be described as 'almost but not quite', because I don't really have much of an opinion of him. I don't think I have much to work with since he was given less spotlight than even the aunts. Hopefully he'll be featured more in the other books. leaving me wanting to unravel the layers hiding beneath his tough exterior.

Beyond its captivating characters, the plot of "The Raven Boys" is a brilliant tapestry of mystery, friendship, and the supernatural. Maggie Stiefvater expertly weaves a multilayered storyline that kept me riveted, eager to uncover the next twist or turn. The pacing is impeccable, building suspense and intrigue at every step. Stiefvater's masterful storytelling creates a narrative that's not only impossible to put down but also leaves readers yearning for more.

What's truly remarkable about Stiefvader's writing is her ability to allow each character's voice to be unique within a large ensemble cast. Each personality shines through. Stiefvater's skillful writing evokes a spectrum of emotions, and creates a rich and unforgettable reading experience.

In conclusion, "The Raven Boys" is a remarkable novel that combines an exceptional cast of characters with an enthralling plot. It's a book that will transport you to a world of mystery and wonder, leaving you utterly captivated until the very last page.

This is the first book in a brand new series from bestselling author, Maggie Stiefvater. Fans of SHIVER (9781407115009), LINGER (9781407121086) and FOREVER (9781407121116) will love this new quartet! Blue has spent the majority of her sixteen years being told that if she kisses her true love, he will die. When Blue meets Gansey's spirit on the corpse road she knows there is only one reason why - either he is her true love or she has killed him. Determined to find out the truth, Blue becomes involved with the Raven Boys, four boys from the local private school (lead by Gansey) who are on a quest to discover Glendower - a lost ancient Welsh King who is buried somewhere along the Virginia ley line. Whoever finds him will be granted a supernatural favour. Never before has Blue felt such magic around her. But is Gansey her true love? She can't imagine a time she would feel like that, and she is adamant not to be the reason for his death. Where will fate lead them? Look out for the next book, THE DREAM THIEVES, out 18th September 2013!

see i LOVEEEEEDDD the vibe of this book! so ambient and perfectly autumnal & the welsh folklore(?) aspects of it was literally made for me. the banter was great, so witty and i found myself really liking all of the characters (except whelk yk). but for some reason.. i didnt find myself picking this book up. i think thats more of a me problem considering ive been in a reading slump but thats what stops it from being a 5 ⭐️ for me :/ also,,, considering it was YA,, the couple of,,? suggestive scenes? idk i didnt love that and it took me out of the story but ohwell

It has come upon me that the two times I’ve read this novel both have been times of emotional hardship. And in both moments I’ve cried for these characters' sake. 

I don’t think I’ve ever read something that’s helped me feel so seen— even if I am older than I was when I started. 

these characters are so human, they are so universal you can’t help but see yourself through them. Their hands reach out the pages and brush your shoulder for comfort. 

I think narration is a big part of that. Through the third person, Stiefvater focuses on each character closely and ties the story together delivering an honest and beautiful path into their heart, emotions, and how they see the world and each other. 

I think the constant theme that tore my heart to pieces begins along the lines of “I am more than.” 

The feeling of being unable to prove something and the ambition to overcome it as someone who is so young but has experienced the world enough to age rapidly is inexplicable.

I am more than my wealth. 

I am more than my status. 

I am more than my grief. 

I am more than death. 

The feeling of being unable to prove something and the ambition to overcome it as someone who is so young but has experienced the world enough to age rapidly is inexplicable.

And the boys portray that perfectly.

4.5 ⭐️
i've never felt like that for any book probably.

the beginning was quite slow if i have to be honest but that doesn't mean that it was boring. i was amazed by the world that maggie stiefvater has created, so similar to ours but still so different. 

probably the thing that i loved the most about the book was how the chapters were written, at the end of any of them there were something that just made me keep going reading. i wanted to get through this book as fast as i could because i wanted to see blue adam gansey ronan and noah as a friend group and when it happened my soul was blessed. 

my love for these characters grew up in me so fast and i loved them since the first time i've read their name. i love the raven boys and i love blue !!

I loved this book. Everything, from the writing style and the plot to the characters captivated me the first time in so long. This book became definitely one of my favourites. Will be definitely reading the whole series.

Very good book. This isn't five stars, though, because I've been trying really hard not to hand out five stars indiscriminately.
So, this is very,very differing from Lament and Shiver, if anyone read those. I don't know if it's similar to The Scorpio Races, cuz I haven't read that yet (but I will!)
So, this is book is about a girl named Blue, who is not-a-psychic. And Gansey, who is not-dead. And Ronan, who is not-quite-sane. and Adam, who is not-rich. and Noah, who is (view spoiler)[not-alive (hide spoiler)].
It's all very interesting.
we really got into ley lines and some previously untouched mythology. And when i say 'untouched mythology' I mean I've never read or heard of a book with this particular mythology in it.
yep, pretty awesome.

I read this for the first time when I was like 10 and had no capacity for writing that didn’t explicitly
spell out exactly what was going on and reread it at age 19 because Kalena made a Marauders comparison…..I get it now…..

Maria

this isn’t by any means a perfect book but it’s so dear to my heart, i just fall a little more in love with it every time i reread it
