Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Stiefvater not only weaves a suspenseful tale of Blue’s involvement with three such boys and their quest for the grave of an ancient king, but she also does so stylishly, with sly social commentary…[and] draws readers into a world where time enfolds hauntingly, and magic informs reality.” —Washington Post
“Stiefvater crafts a wonderful, vivid, colorful world you won’t want to leave. She tempers her quirky secondary characters with a heart-in-your-throat, life-or-death plot, a cold case, and a quest. Your only regret will be that the tale ends too soon.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
“Hopes, fears, quirks, and forebodings gather gradually, coalescing as living portraits. It’s a tour de force of characterization, and while there is no lack of even or mystery, it is the way Stiefvater’s people live in the reader’s imagination that makes this such a memorable read.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Patton is masterful with the suspense and the mysticism and seductively plays the emotional line of real and imagined events. Don’t miss this compelling listen, and pray that Will Patton has already signed on for the other titles of the series.” —AudioFile
“Reading this novel is like walking through a tangled thicket and coming across one unexpected and wonderful surprise after another. In that respect, the book is marvelous, for not only is it filled with marvels but it is also a marvel of imagination…Rich, too, in characterization, this fantasy-mystery rises to the level of serious literature.” —Booklist (starred review)
“The Raven Boys is an incredibly rich and unique tale, an supernatural thriller of a different flavor. The cinematic feel paces the novel well, and the many pieces of the story unfold with grace. The complicated relationships between the Raven boys and Blue are not of the standard main character/love interest variety and makes the curious plot all the more enthralling.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“A story very few writers could dream up and only Stiefvater could make so palpably real. Simultaneously complex and simple, compulsively readable, marvelously wrought.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
