Book Review: The Raven Boys

There were moments that I really liked The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, but there were just as many moments made me feel like my brain might be oozing out of my ears.

Generally I found the characters & story to be interesting & engaging, however in the end I felt that very little was resolved in this book & this was just another excuse to rope me into reading a series. I was bored by the "forbidden romance" storyline & felt it was completely unnecessary to the plot- is it so hard to just write characters that are friends?

Anyway, I'll eventually get around to reading the sequel- in large part because I liked so many of the characters. I won't rush out for it though because in the end, the plot didn't hold my attention like I wish a book would.
