⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 3 stars

The Raven Boys is a paranormal tale about Blue and the four boys she meets, who are on a hunt.

I wanted to read this for a while, but never really came to it. I’ve listened to the audiobook instead of reading it and it took quite some time to finish the book. I’m not really sure if it’s because of listening to this book, but I didn’t have the drive to finish it. I could easily pause the story and not continue it for a week.

The characters are fascinating, but I felt a bit detached when listening to Blue’s chapters. It felt like she didn’t really have emotions. On the other hand, her chapters were the ones where interesting things happened.

The plot and story are interesting and quite fun and I loved the paranormal aspect of it. The twists were shocking and I enjoyed it. It started out a bit boring and cliché, but really picked up around the time the boys and Blue met.

Overall, Raven Boys is a good start to the series. It seemed like this book is mostly laying down the background and everything for the rest of the series and I’m looking forward to what the series will bring.
