i absolutely love this series and im so happy to finally sit down for a reread! the first time i read the raven cycle was 2016 which is mad, it doesn't seem all that long..

though it has been long enough that while i think of these books often, ive forgotten a lot of the finer details. it truly feels like seeing a bunch of old friends and going on an adventure 

its pretty slow to start, but that's due to heavy lore and world building which i find fascinating anyways.. but come the second half of the book i hated putting it down

i genuinely love the characters, and find it so intriguing that not a single character is without flaws.. its so delicious to me

i literally cannot wait to reread the rest of the series!

The beginning is confusing, especially when all the boys are first introduced. There were too many names all at once and it took a while to figure out how they all fit in, but once I did, it was worth it. Very well written, and I love how distinct and interesting the characters are. A dark plot with a lighthearted tone and mysterious setting—I’ve already started a pinterest board. Definitely worth reading.
