Description

In a world where the supernatural intertwines with the lives of the living, four boys from the elite Aglionby Academy form a connection with a girl destined to alter their fate. The backdrop of Henrietta, Virginia, serves as a canvas for their search for a long-lost Welsh king believed to bring great power and wealth to anyone who unearths him. Each character, uniquely flawed and complex, grapples with their own demons while navigating the unsettling mysteries that haunt their town.

As the protagonist, Blue Sargent, grapples with her family's psychic lineage, she finds herself drawn into the boys' quest, even as she harbors a chilling prophecy: the curse that foretells she will be the one to kill her true love. The interplay of friendship, loyalty, and ambition creates a rich tapestry of relationships that challenge the boundaries of trust and betrayal.

Maggie Stiefvater weaves a narrative that explores the themes of destiny and self-discovery, with each character illuminating the fine line between dreams and reality. Their journey is punctuated by ghostly apparitions and the weight of their choices, as they uncover secrets that could either unite or destroy them.

With vibrant prose and an immersive atmosphere, the story invites readers into a world where the boundaries of the living and the dead blur, and every choice carries consequences steeped in magic and possibility. As they chase their desires through a hauntingly beautiful landscape, the boys and Blue must confront the darkness that lies not only within themselves but also in the heart of their ambitions.

“My words are unerring tools of destruction, and I’ve come unequipped with the ability to disarm them.”Siempre pongo al principio de mis reviews alguna quote que me haya gustado y ya está pero me gustaría decir con respecto a ésta que aqui Gansey me dio tantísima pena, con ganas de abrazarlo sin más :(3'75 STARSLe doy un casi 4 estrellas, que siendo sincera cuando empecé a leer el libro los primeros capitulos creia que no le daria más de 3 que hubo momentos que se me hizo un poco lento pero es verdad que una vez que te metes en la historia es otro cantar y hablando con Jess es verdad que durante todo el libro te dan pistas de los plot twists pero claro en el momento de leerlo pues no entiendes nada al menos es lo que me pasó a mi que decian cosas cripticas que no entendía pero simplemente estaban diciendo hechosvamos que los plot twists estaban ahi desde el principio jajaja con ganas de seguir pero es que están sacando tantas novedades guays ultimamente que no me da la vida jajajaPD: Adam me ha parecido INSOPORTABLE asi con mayúsculas siento sus circunstancias pero buff espero que cambie

4.5 stars.I've wanted to read this series for a while, and I finally read it and now I'm finally reviewing it. This is one of my new favourite series. I loved all the Raven Boys and Blue and I loved how their characters grew and their relationships progressed. The reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars, is because I was confused for a long time but after I got over the confusion, I enjoyed it immensely. I'm not really sure what else to say, but I'm so glad I finally read it.
