This book is unique, compelling, strange, and As safe as life itself and it's definitely deserving of the hype.

I know I'm late to the party (and quite happy about it because I don't have to wait **does a little dance** for the other books to come out) but I will ramble a little bit.

I have to say that I felt quite in sync with the boys, all of them. The way Gansey felt about his quest, his yearnings, his education and the loyalty he shows I think made him my favorite character so far, I just ...more

I WANT to love Maggie Stiefvater like everyone else does, but I always feel like I'm missing something! I'd probably really just give this book a 3.5, but I bumped it up because the characters are great and because I'm always hooked by stories featuring psychics. ...more
