I haven't had time to write this review until now but I really enjoyed this book!
I absolutely loved the writing the author had a very creative and unique way of wording things which made me super happy. I think the beginning dragged a bit and it took me a bit to actually get through it but it was never actually bad just more slow paced. The character dynamics were glorious. I love a good found family and I also thought everyone was really funny and overall very solid first book I am so excited to get crushed by this series later :D

I have fond memories of reading this book nearly a decade ago, initially attracted to its raven-adorned cover. Upon delving into the pages, I was not disappointed; the characters and storyline immediately captured my heart.

Upon revisiting it after such a long time, I am overwhelmed with joy and nostalgia. The writing is expertly crafted, with multiple main characters and alternating narrators throughout each chapter. The plot is multi-dimensional, following Blue's journey to see if her true love will perish, Gansey's quest to uncover a buried Welsh king, Ronan's hidden secrets, and Adam's endeavors to achieve his goals. The story also delves into dark academia - featuring a prestigious school, Latin, and a bit of murder mystery. Adding to the intrigue, there is also a touch of magic and paranormal activity. As Gansey himself would attest, this book is truly "top shelf."
