I gave this 4/5 stars. It was definitely a slow start, but once I got about 100 pages in, I was hooked! I fell in love with these characters and I can't wait to continue their stories!

I didn't hate this book it's just that I stopped reading it to concentrate on school and now I've lost interest in it right now.

What the fuck. Maggie's style of writing would be comparable to those of Gary Paulsen's- repeatedly stating the same damn thing. The plot, however good it was, was way too fucking slow for anyone to keep reading.
Immaculate, entertaining, and captivating...is what I would've called this book if it didn't take half the fucking story to do useless shit. The plot has potential, but again, Maggie. I want to hit myself with a book- not this one though.
Each character has their own personality:
The Raven Boys;
0% -> 50% -> poor attempt at setting and character development.
50% -> 75% -> o.O something happens
70% -> 95% -> uwu are they gonna finally show us what happened?
95% -> 100% -> the fuck?
"It was impossible, of course, but again, so was everything that had come before it. It was, Gansey thought, like when he'd driven through the Lake District with Malory. After a while, there had been too much incredible beauty for him to process, and it had become invisible. IT was impossible that is was winter."
This series should be summarised into one book.

Great characters, engaging mystery, supbar pacing and a baffling portrayal of poverty.

Although not a lot happens plot-wise, a lot of groundwork is laid in the character design that I can appreciate. The characters weren't clones of each other in their habits, traits, or voices. I look forward to following them through this series.
The only character I found boring was the villain. He could've at least been a clever or darkly funny villain, someone we love to hate, but he was just... a creepy bitch lol, but I see now that he was more of a plot device.

I think this is more of a 3.5 rating for me. The pacing, especially the first 200 pages was painfully slow for me.
