is this a lana del rey reference cause every single character in this book was born to die.

finally a new series to take over my life while i wait for alecto the ninth chour
Well, this isn't going to infect my brain completely - yet, I suppose - but, man are these endearing characters. I wouldn't read this for the fantasy worldbuilding since there's... hardly any lmao, but the cast is cute and play off each other so well. Love Blue's family, love Blue herself; despite toeing the line of being a not-like-other-girls protagonist, she comes across to me as quirky in a sensible, grounded way. (Also, she's a style icon.) I have, because reasons, associated the Raven Cycle with Ouran High School Host Club almost against my will and this really helped with endearing Gansey to me. Actually I just like Gansey in general. Good on Stiefvater for making an out-of-touch pansy rich boy so cute to me.

Spoiler
I don't yet buy that he has chemistry with Blue, but their current dynamic (written and... visual ngl sjakhd HIS POLO AND BOAT SHOES PLS) is interesting enough for me to want to see more. Adam is kinda boring with Blue though man's just poor.peachfruit's review against another edition

Hauntingly beautiful. The plot had its twists and turns, but it was a bit confusing at times. What really made this book special was the characters. I found myself emotional invested in each one, and I was begging to know more about them with each turn of the page.
I really enjoyed this novel, and look forward to continuing the series.

I enjoyed it even more the second time around. I noticed a lot of the smaller details, and that made it all the better. That's why I love rereading books.
