The Raven Boys is about a girl
called Blue who is the daughter of a psychic, and she has been told her entire
life that if she kisses her true love, she will kill him, which is quite
intense for a sixteen-year-old girl! On St. Mark’s Eve, when the souls of the
dead walk past, Blue sees a boy, and she is given another chilling prediction: ‘There
are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve… either
you’re his true love, or you killed him.’ So Blue seeks out this boy to try and
change his fate, and finds herself in with the Raven Boys, so named because of
the raven symbol on their private school uniform, and the rest of the story is
about her developing a relationship with these boys and trying to stop this prediction
from coming true, and I really enjoyed it.
There is just something about
the way this author writes, and the characters that she creates are just so
real. I’m dying to read the rest of the series because I want to know more
about these boys: Gansey, Adam, Ronan and Noah are well-rounded characters with
individual backstories, and like I said, I really want to know more about them.
The one thing that I would say
about this book, and it’s obviously done for a reason, is that I have a lot of
unanswered questions still. As I said, that’s obviously set up ready for the
rest of the series, but yeah, there are a lot of loose ends that need to be
tied up still.
But overall, I would highly recommend this book, and I’m really excited to read the rest of the series! 4/5 stars.
