I had a hard time really wanting to sink into this book, however in the end, it was worth it. This is a surprising read that did not follow predictable magic systems or tropes. I found it refreshing and I’m excited to read the next book.

I LOVED IT!! What an amazing book, the author is such an incredible writer and made me want to explore Henrietta and the ley lines with the characters. Such an interesting concept, I cannot wait to continue with the series. I can tell I’m gonna enjoy this journey so much. ALSO, did I mention the characters?? So interesting and lovable! Adam is such a strong and inspiring character! And Ronan, and Gansey, and Blue. I love them all.

4* only because I always have trouble with first books. The story introduction can feel a bit boring or slow at times & I know I’ll enjoy the next books FAR more!

This was a really good book. If I had read it years ago, I would have absolutely loved this. As it was, I really enjoyed reading this book. Definitely had some good character moments, and I was blown away by the tight pacing and enjoyable story. Really glad I read it, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of The Raven Cycle. 4.5/5 stars

At first I was confused because I didn't know what they are talking about, I had to search some of the words they mentionned, but after that I got into it and I really enjoyed reading it
