The Raven Boys Reviews
Do I need to even explain myself? No? Well, I will anyway. This book has it all: The best characters. Maggie (I feel like we're on a first name basis) doesn't neglect developing any of the characters. Whether they show up for one scene or are a main character, they are...
On a cold night every spring, sixteen-year-old Blue and her psychic mother wait in a churchyard for the dead to arrive. Her mother is usually the one who sees the spirits of people who will die within the next twelve months, but this year, Blue herself is startled by the sad, desperate...
Yesterday I walked into my library's Young Adult section which is inside its own special Young Adult room. There were all these kids hanging out playing video games when this bearded 31 year old man walked into the room. He was a man on a mission, a mission to quickly identify the...
Quirky loner girl meets privileged rich boy(s). Forbidden love and angst ensue. I seem to have this habit. For the past couple of years, I've mostly been deliberately avoiding paranormal YA from authors I don't already love. The genre is a hard sell for me, filled with...

?You're looking for a god. Didn't you suspect that there was also a devil?? Instant new favorite!! Psychics. Ghosts. Spirits. Sleeping kings. Legends. Enchanted forests. And a cursed romance. Maggie Stiefvater is an artist, ladies and gentlemen! ...
i'm so glad i re-read this before carrying on with the series! there were so many things that i had forgotten. SO MANY IMPORTANT THINGS. plus it was fun to re-read, because of all the foreshadowing. SO MCUH FORESHADOWING I TELL YA. i'm reading the series as apart of the missm...
4.5/5 Reread in 2017: I loved it so much more the second time! Every character was unique and fleshed out and I fell in love with them all! Well, most of them. Can't wait to pick up The Dream Thieves! Book 34/100 of 2015: I really enjoyed this! I came into this book not kn...
weeeell, that sure was spooky. and went in a completely different direction than what i was expecting. but i will allow it because it was highly entertaining! and although, unfortunately, im not as obsessed with this as much of the GR community seems to be, i can understand why the...
Review with my funny face? http://youtu.be/mZyzt0qw7tg I enjoyed the hell out of this book. At one point, and I shit you not, I literally yelled "FUN!". Don't worry I was in my bedroom so no side eye whatsoever. I was simply enthralled. I've seen people sai...
READ #5: August 2019: Rereading in preparation for Call Down the Hawk and also because I am trc trash and am living my good life sobbing over my best friends who don't exist while being homesick for a magical forest i've never been to.

UPDATE: $2.99 Kindle US 9/14/19 MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading List I absolutely loved this book! But, here's the thing, I didn't know what was going on through half of the book and I'm still a little up in the air with what all they were doing. I j...
This book is why I give authors second, third, and sometimes even fourth chances (*cough* Colleen Hoover *cough*). Because while I might not enjoy one book they wrote, I like to think that doesn't mean I'll hate everything they publish. Take Stiefvater. I tried to read Sh...
4.5 Really really liked this! ...
Easily the best book I've read all year. I've never read a book before where I love every single character equally. Blue: she is everything i aspire to be and i just want to be bffs with her Gansey: yes plz Ronan: he's so scary and angry but you just know he sec...
Update 2020: With my local library closed down, I?m stuck with the books on my bookshelf so I opted to reread my favorites. And it just hit me that I reread this book on April 24th aka the date that set off the gangsey! Coincidence? I think not. There?s nothing quite like retur...
4 Stars! What an enjoyable read this was. Blue, a teenage girl lives in a house full of psychic aunts and her mother. Ever since Blue was little, she was told that her true love will die if she kisses him. (That's one way to scare a little child...shit) Blue goes to church wi...
This is favourite series of all time. I can't even write a review about it, I would just end up copying the entire novel down verbatim and saying, "This is my favourite part. And this part. And that part. And that quote and these characters and all of it and everything foreve...
(Sweet Caroline voice) so good! so good! so good! ----------- no better way to spend Halloween than rereading this book ----------- THIS BOOK IS MIRACULOUS. There are psychics and ghosts and very human characters and boys in private-school uniforms and ravens and magical...
I've never read something quite like this. I loved how Blue talks with her mom, how Gansey is protective towards the boys, how Noah pats Blue's hair, how Ronan takes care of Chainsaw, how Adam talks to Blue. This book is the definition of found-family trope. I've never rea...
?Watch for the devil. When there?s a god, there?s always a legion of devils.? When I first read The Raven Boys a year ago, I never thought I would fall in love with it, and then all over again and again and again. I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I expected a c...
This book is in my top favorites list. Kinda wished I would've read it sooner because it had the perfect blend of magic, friendship, bad guys that should be either shot or kicked in a hole somewhere remote, unforgettable characters (main characters or not) and a awesome story plot...
Bumping this up to 4 stars. I appreciated this story much more upon rereading it! I think when I first read this book, I had trouble comprehending the story and differentiating between the characters since so much was being introduced at once. Now it?s been easier for me to familiari...
Reread this for a reading log... didn't remember it as much as I thought! Reread this for a reading log... didn't remember it as much as I thought! ...more ...
Raven Boys turns out to be more interesting that I thought it would be. I was reluctant to start this series, not only that most of the hyped YA series always disappointed me, this one also seems like a book written specifically for girls. Don?t kill me, here?s the fact and stat...
"What happened was they drove to Harry?s and... Gansey ordered flavors of gelato until the table wouldn?t hold any more bowls and Ronan convinced the staff to turn the overhead speakers up and Blue laughed for the first time at something Gansey said and they were loud and t...
