The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
I thought this book was just wonderful. It had many themes that I personally really love; magical, unexplained locations with lots of mystery, witchcraft and fortune-telling, and of course the great execution of the found-family trope.
The friendship Blue has with all of the Raven boys is so wonderful. And I'm just glad this book wasn't as heavy on the romance as I expected. It felt like a wonderful exploration of friendship, with each character feeling really tangible and real.
The writing style was very beautiful, but easy to understand. I think the timing of the multiple perspectives were also timed really well. It just suited the story in my opinion!
I see other people writing about the story being a little slow sometimes, but that's personally something I enjoy in books ;)
I'm really excited to see where the rest of this series will be going. I feel like there's still much left to be explored in the next few books!
