Others: Mostly positiveThough she is from a family of clairvoyants, Blue Sargent's only gift seems to be that she makes other people's talents stronger. When she meets Gansey, one of the boys from the expensive Aglionby Academy, she discovers that he has talents of his own--and that together their talents are a dangerous mix. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as "raven boys", they can only mean trouble. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the raven boys, she's not so sure anymore.

Others: Mostly positiveSimon Snow is the worst Chosen One who’s ever been chosen. That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right. Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.

MixedA 3.5 went to The Dream Thieves, the graphic novel. This is the second book in a series. It was adapted from one of my favorite series of all time, and I thought this one was better done than the first book, and it had slightly its own voice.
Loved itA The Dream Thieves. I have read it. I still have very fond memories for The Raven Cycle. That one in particular was just a bit carheavy.
Loved itthis series is so magical and i think maggie stiefvater's writing style it's just beautiful
Loved itif we were talking about the second book in the series the dream thieves I'd put that into great
Loved itmy favorite is probably the dream thieves second month but I'm gonna pretend that they're talking about the entire series
Not a fanThe second book was just not its sis it was too boring it was a very character-driven book
Loved itso far Dream Thieves is my favorite of the Raven boys... I thought the ending was perfect and you definitely really get to have a better insight into ronin's character
Loved itThis series, honestly, I wasn't expecting to like it, but it just sucked me in. The writing, the characters, the world, it's all so incredible and unique and just fabulous.
Loved itthe characters they are flawed and they are wonderful and they are quirky and Whimsical but like perfect at the same time
