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.
Moderate: Violence and Kidnapping

I think the one thing I was surprised by is I have seen ZERO mention of the super problematic line where a spice used in curry is compared to the smell of a dead person's feet!?!?! Like excuse me!?!?! That completely turned me off from the story cause it just seemed overtly wrong and problematic...
