As usual, 16-year-old Blue is spending St. Mark’s eve in an abandoned churchyard waiting for the spirits of those who are destined to die in the next year. It’s not that Blue can see those walking spirits herself. Unlike the rest of her close knit, all-female family she is not a psychic, but because...

I've sat here with the blinking cursor for quite sometime unsure of what I wanted to say about this book. I easily wavered between anywhere from 2-4 stars (hence my final choice of 3.) This book started off hella slow and by the end I couldn't put it down. That being said it took so long to get into...

Blue Sargent comes from a family with clairvoyant abilities, though she has none of her own. Instead, having her close by enhances other’s powers. So, every year, she stands quietly with her mother in an old churchyard as her mother sees the soon-to-die. This year, though, a boy comes up to Blue, an...

“She wasn't interested in telling other people's futures. She was interested in going out and finding her own.”Non avevo mai letto nulla di Maggie Stiefvater prima d'ora, ma dopo The Raven Boys sicuramente vedrò di rimediare. Mi piace molto il suo stile, e poi io adoro i libri scritti in terza perso...

I had a little bit of a difficulty getting into this at the start, but really hit my stride about halfway through. Looking forward to the next book.

Okay. Here it goes.I adored The Scorpio Races much more than I expected to, so The Raven Boys was riding on some high expectations. In addition, many of my favourite bloggers absolutely RAVED about the book... so... I really liked it. I loved some parts of it, truly, truly loved some other, and yet ...

I'm still trying to get through a large pile of things to review, so I'll try to keep this as concise as I can. (Also, luckily, I don't have much to complain about.)I have been a fan of Maggie Stiefvater for years now. I read the Books of Faerie, The Wolves of Mercy Falls, and The Scorpio Races. All...

If I had read this at the age that this book is actually written for, I'm not sure I wouldn't love it to pieces. There are a number of aspects I'm sure teenage me would be swooning over. These days, I tend to read YA fiction with female protagonists through a what-is-this-doing-for-young-women lens,...
