4.5/5
Rereading this was like coming home to something I didn't know I had missed. I originally read this series a couple years ago and fell in love with the characters, the narrator and the atmosphere of the book. While there is a plot, this more of a character driven story than anything.
I absolutely love these characters and they're all so precious to me, I need to protect them. I love the way the story is told from a sort of omniscient POV and we get to see the thoughts of several characters ...more

I enjoyed this book. I feel like it was a little slow in the beginning but once it got going it was well paced. I can see why so many people love this series (or at least the first book) and why it is so famous. At the beginning of the book, I didn't really get it. I felt like the characters were described in really weird ways. The author has an interesting way of giving characters descriptors that you wouldn't really expect as a descriptor. I don't have the energy to go back and look up quotes

When The Raven Boys came out I read the synopsis and it honestly didn't interest me. Then I saw all of the good reviews and it was on the Kindle daily deal, so I decided to give it a try. Almost everyone else seems to love this book. Most of my friends have given it 4 or 5 stars, but for me it was an odd read. While I liked it ok, I certainly didn't love it. I do enjoy the way Maggie Stiefvater writes some of her sentences, they can be very imaginative and magical, but this book felt disjointed

I found this book a stunning work with all the complexity that I love about Stiefvater’s writing. The author has a way of taking several characters that seem to have nothing in common, but weaves their stories together, leaving the reader with a sense that they were always meant to be a part of each other’s lives. The realistic quality of the book hooks the reader from the beginning and as the story progresses, the otherworldly is introduced in such a slight way; you can’t help but imagining the

Maggie Steifvater, you sure do know how to weave a tale! I loved The Raven Boys just as much as I loved Shiver!
