A review by missawn
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

3.0

I am a bit torn when it comes to reviewing this book. The prose is eloquently beautiful but I did not find the plot to be all that engaging and as a result I found myself muscling through this book. I was not all that enamored with the quest for Glendower or any of the characters for that matter. I remained superficially interested in the plot for the majority of the book. It did pick-up towards the end however, but in a way that was not ultimately particularly satisfying. This book ends with somewhat of a cliff hanger (which I never like) and one that appears to be resolved almost immediately in the opening pages of [b:The Dream Thieves|17347389|The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2)|Maggie Stiefvater|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1459349153s/17347389.jpg|21598446].

I will read the second book in this series in the hopes that my interest in the story continues to build slowly as it did in this book ...
