The Raven Boys (2012)
Others: Mostly positive Though 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 positiveShe is the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But where will her conscience, and her heart, lead her? After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.Keeping up the deadly charade-while pretending to do the king's bidding-will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice. Where do the assassin's loyalties lie, and who is she willing to fight for?

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.

Loved itSo a little bit less visceral. I mean it definitely has that a little less visceral than some of these other ones but definitely has that like spooky sentient forest vibe.

Loved itI really like the Raven boys I love that series but I just don't think that it's at the top for me because I think a lot of why I fell in love with it was the hype but I do think that it's genius

Review 1 of 3
Loved itthis book is basically just a friendship to the max series... no single character in this series could have done anything that they accomplished without the love and acceptance and passion of their friends
Loved itThis is an incredibly atmospheric book. It has a certain feeling to it that no other book can replicate: a little bit dreamy with just a few hints of magic, so it seems like this could really take place in our real world, that you could just hop in your car and drive to Henrietta, Virginia if you wanted to.
Loved itI actually really grew to love it and I think that his voice added so much atmosphere to the story I felt like I was really in the south of America
MixedI think I got 50 pages in and then also stopped because I just wasn't feeling it. Mostly because it was translated.
Loved itI loved the Raven boys and I was not expecting to love it as much as I did it was so good and so phenomenal and I cannot wait for the Raven King
Loved itthe series has just captured my attention completely it follows a group of friends four guys and a girl and they are searching for long lost said Walsh King in the state of Virginia
Loved itthis one was fantastic the narrator captured the creepy atmospheric feel of this book so well it's I think what made me enjoyed this book so much more
