Review: The Raven Boys (Raven cycle book 1)

 The Raven Boys
 Maggie Stiefvater
 The Raven Cycle book 1


Blue's mother (and every other psychic she has ever met) have always told her that if she kisses her true love, he will die.

One night she goes to a Corpse Road with her aunt. Her aunt can see all the souls crossing over.
Blue has never been able to see anyone.
Until tonight.

Later that week, while at one of her many jobs, some of the local boys from the rich, all-boys school come in.

Richard Gansey III has become obsessed with finding a Welsh King.
Who's been dead for thousands of years.  He has an air about him that makes you want to be his friend, even if he is slightly conceited (but he doesn't know it, honest).

Ronan Lynch is your typical bad boy, who has a past.
and secrets in his past.
and present.

Adam Parrish is not a charity case. He may be "one of the gang" but he will not take handouts. He also has a crush on Blue.

Noah is the quiet boy who just tags along for the ride. No one really knows his story yet, but he has one that is pivotal to finding Glendower.

When Blue finds the journal that Gansey keeps all the information relating to Glendower, she decides to bring it home and read it.

Blue is now tied to these boys as she tries to help them find their King.
She also needs to keep her promise to her mother that she will never let a boy kiss her.

Little does the group know, they are not the only ones looking for the King.


An intriguing beginning to a mythical and historical series that is thought provoking and stretches the boundaries of your imagination. A beautiful beginning with stunning characters.
You will be wanting to crawl into these pages and live there forever.  The world that Stiefvater has created is a beautiful one, filled with mystery, romance, friendship and smol cinnamon bun characters that you just want to put in your pocket and protect from evil.
