A review by nataliestorozhenko
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
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."
