A review by mimimilaa
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
3.0
*3.5 stars*
I think that I hyped this book up for myself too much. I was so excited to dive into this book, but it ended up not fleshing out as nicely as I wanted it to. I definitely enjoyed this, and I love the magical realism aspect of the novel, but the storyline of the quirky girl hating the popular/rich boys but then suddenly becoming friends with some anyways is a bit overdone to me.
I also wasn't completely invested in the book, which unfortunately may be because I read it as an ebook instead of a physical book.
From the beginning, I wanted more of Noah and to know more about him; I think he's an interesting character (and did even before the plot twist). I'm not really a fan of Adam; something about him bothers me and I'm not totally sure why, but I just don't really like him.
Hopefully the series gets better as the books go on, and I will be continuing with the series.
