criesinbooks's review against another edition
5.0
Woah, desde el inicio supe que me gustaría por todo el mundo que parecía surgir frente a mí, pero no estaba consciente de lo mucho que amaría esta historia.
La familia encontrada es uno de mis clichés favoritos (si no es que el favorito) y este libro lo tiene y lo representa tan bien. La amistad de Noah, Gansey, Adam y Ronan es preciosísima, la lealtad y amor tan puro que hay.
Se me hacía muy raro que personas tan distintas pudieran ser tan unidas, pero de algún modo sus historias consiguen entrelazarse y formar una amistad maravillosa, soy fannnnn.
Blue se me hizo una suma exacta a este grupo, encaja perfectamente con los chicos del cuervo. Espero ansiosamente todo lo que viene.
Un 5/5⭐️ que me deja algo sorprendida, pero satisfecha ❤️.

originally read in 2016 - original rating 5 stars
REREAD 2024
When I first read this book I gave it a full 5 stars, and despite dropping that rating by one this time around I do still completely understand why I did that. There are just so many absurdly strong aspects to this book. Starting of with the atmosphere. It truly is out of this world. I never wanted to put this book down because I was just so completely pulled into things. I truly felt like I was there together with these characters. I do not know how Maggie Stiefvater does it, but it is just brilliant.
The other strong suit of this book is the characters. They are amazingly written. We've got quite a large cast to get introduced to in this book, and it never feels overwhelming yet they are completely fleshed out already. Of course the 4 raven boys and Blue are the most developed of them all. They are each such interesting characters, and I loved seeing their dynamics. There's some complicated shit in there, but that just makes it feel so much more real, and interesting. In one book Maggie Stiefvater has completely made me fall in love with all 5 of them, and I can't wait to read the other books to see more of their stories. Blue's family also plays a pretty big part in this book, and I love them as well. It's just a house full of magical women, and its incredible. They aren't as well fleshed out as our main characters, but I still love them, and I especially love their relationship to Blue.
This world is also incredibly interesting. All the leyline stuff, I feel like it's an untapped thing in fiction. I feel like it made this book still feel fresh, even after it being out for a decade already. The magic isn't really explained at all, it's just present in everything these characters do if they realise it or not. I especially think Blue's role in all of this is quite interesting. This book also just sets the overall plot of the series incredibly well, and I can't wait to see how it is all going to unfold in future books.
So after giving you all the reasons why I get that I originally rated this 5 stars, let me give you the reason I gave it 4 stars now: not a whole lot happened. Despite this being a very addicting and quick read for me, I constantly felt like I was waiting for things to happen. I just feel like it takes quite some time for things to get going, and they only really do at the end. Now, I do get why this was the case. As you can probably tell from this review this book has A LOT to set up, and it does so brilliantly. So I completely understand why this first book wasn't super plot heavy, just to keep this book from feeling overly crowded. I'm really hoping the other books in this series will pick up a little though.
