The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater is filled to the brim with enigmatic characters, a sweet southern pace, and the possibility of something extraordinary to unfold. Blue Sargent comes from a long line of clairvoyants, but with no psychic ability herself, she’s always felt out of place. When she accompanies her mother and aunt to an abandoned church, where they find the souls of the people who will die within the year, she never expected to see a spirit herself, much less meet one named Gansey, who won’t speak to anyone but her. Her mother tells her the only possible way she could be able to see him is that he is either her true love or she is the one who kills him, and for as long as she can remember her family has warned her that if she were to kiss her true love he would die. This all seems a bit too fictitious for Blue, until one night she meets Gansey in the flesh, along with his gang of Raven Boys. She becomes swept up with Gansey, Adam, Noah, and Ronan, in an ordeal much bigger than the matter of her true love.
This book is a mysteriously haunting story built with enchanting characters that will steal your heart, and won’t let go. I am tremendously glad I chose to pick up this book, in a small southern bookshop, drawing me towards it, with no idea I would soon be experiencing the enthralling writing and plot the author creates. The major themes of friendship and family present in this book are very appealing to American culture as they are important to many people and creates a relatable connection between you and the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique and vibrant read to keep you guessing, anyone with a yearning for adventure and discovery.
