The Raven Boys

"I could not finish this book, I was bored and overall just confused by it. I have no idea if the series gets better or not but 0/5 for me personally."

"THE FRIENDSHIP"

"I know lots of people love this series which is why I decided to read it. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my cup of tea. I thought the clairvoyant parts were interesting but wished there was more confirmation regarding Blue aka Jane’s abilities since she seems to have more than what she and her family state she has. Other than that it wasn’t keeping me interested. I was going to DNF, but since it was a book club pick, I tried to stick it out. It got better just after 50-75% in. I don’t think I will finish the series."

"This one is more academia adjacent; they attend a private prep school but have intense private academic interests"

"i will hear criticism about a lot of books but you speak a word against these characters and i will start hysterically crying or i might commit some crimes idk<br/><br/>THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE BLUE SERGEANT AND HER RAVEN BOYS‼️‼️‼️‼️"

"I was a little iffy in the first few chapters but then it hooked me and I needed to know what was gonna happen!! The last 2 chapters left me really confused but excited to start book 2 soon!!"

"Whoo boy this is a weird one to rate. For starters, this is not my first attempt at reading it. Twice I couldn't get into it, once before I even knew that it's popular (both times after reading the Scorpio Races, one of my all time faves, though). (In this book's defense I used to finish maybe 1/6th of the books I started. Haha remember when I had standards for what I did with my time?) I thought it must not be popular because I thought the cover was ugly. (I still stand by that btw, fricking blue boyband). Anyway, this time I was gonna give it a shot, and this time I had Expectations, and my expectations only grew as I got into the book. The atmosphere is really great and there's sooo many characters I like (sooo many) and I'm like yes this is gonna be fun. But the fun took so long to come and in it's place there was a bunch of predictable, sometimes even tedious/irritating sludge and I'm like this book is gonna be three stars, isn't it? How disappointing. But then, despite myself, the last 20% was exciting and the sides of my mouth are doing a bit of a smiley thing, and my most terrible fears about how certain things were gonna come out did not come to fruition. So basically this is a good book. But it can lose some hype. <br/><br/>The hype is what did me in. <br/><br/>With all the components that are literally already in this, I should've adored it. But I only like it, and that's your fault. <br/><br/>Lol.<br/><br/>I don't know who I'm addressing with that.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Oh also the audiobook was great and a wonderful decision."

"I can already tell this series is going to be close to the top of the list of my favorites!<br/><br/>2023 reread: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD THIS WAS EVEN BETTER THEN THE FIRST TIME I READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"<strong>Decent</strong><br/><br/>This book was pretty good. It kept me a interested, but some parts had me confused. I hope the next book is good as well"

"At first, I thought I knew where this story was going and exactly what would happen. However, which each chapter, Stiefvater threw is twist after twist, creating a dark fantasy unlike any other. I am very interested to see where The Raven Cycle goes.<br/>"
