Characters oh how much I love every single one of them. And how much they love each other. Peak quality found family trope, 11/10. Healthy friendship between boys? Look at that, it can be done without toxic masculinity and fighting over a girl. But more importantly - every character here deserves a hug. Those boys have so much trauma that their issues have their own issues, my little boys you deserve the world.
The plot is also great, but I admit that I was itching for the MCs to meet each other earlier on in the book but bc it’s a series I understand why the author was taking their time with it. This is mostly me being petty bc every time the 5 of them interact my heart grows 4984 times in size.
Needless to say, I’m on my way to the library for the next instalment

I don't have a lot to say about this book. It was quite a fun read, but it didn't really leave an imprint on me. Which is fine, it didn't have to I still enjoyed it and I will be reading the rest of the series. I liked the character and the group dynamics and am interested in how they will change in the next books. I think the way magic is portrayed in the raven circle is interesting and I am excited to find out what's up with Ronan (He is my favorite character next to Noah). I think the only thing that really bothered me was the last sentence. I really hated how Stiefvater launched the plot of the next book. I just think it's badly done and squeezed in at the end.
But yeah, it's a great book the leave earth for a while and land in a magical world with 4 boys who dream too big and a girl who gives too much.
