The Raven Boys is a hard one to rate because while I ended the book loving what was happening and being super excited for more of the series, getting there was a bit of a journey 😂

I had such trouble getting into this book, I was kind of intrigued but also a little bored and confused. While the confusion lasted the whole time (I *still* have SO MANY questions),  I eventually started getting really into the book. The last maybe 20% were incredible and I was so loving it!!

I think this series might be one of those you need to read fully before really making any final judgements. I can imagine this book having a very different impact on a reread afterwards. 

But yeah, I'm definitely into it, and I'll be diving into book 2 soon! Can't wait to see what happens with my babies Adam and Gansey, and the entire gang!
