message 1: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Already on chapter 5!!
Celeste what chap/page you are at?


message 4: by Celeste (new)

Celeste | 12 comments Look at you go Lin!

I've had a rather busy weekend so I've just started chapter 2.

What do you think so far? I like the writing for the most part. Blue Sargent is such a strange name don't you think? I keep thinking of a bird for some reason. =D


message 5: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Hhahah indeed all the names are strange, but this is what I like as they are unique.

I am already on chap 12 and I am loving it so far!!

I love the writing style of Maggie is magical!! xD

No worries I have had busy weekend as well

Celeste | 12 comments OOoooo I'm just starting chapter 6 now and Blue and Gansey meeting is so going to happen. I'm excited!

I find the writing style a little confusing sometimes. Like the scene where Gansey's car has stalled on the side of the road and he's looking for food in his car and then it jumps to what he was doing the night before and I didn't realise this.


message 7: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Ahhh yes, sometimes it is a bit confusing yes. I still have to reread a sentence twice to make sure that I understood who is the character that is speaking.

So I agree on this totally.

In this case I will wait for you so we can discuss a little bit more as there are a few things happening on the next chapters I don't want to spoil haha


message 8: by Celeste (new)

Celeste | 12 comments Discuss away! I'm on chapter 20 now. =D


message 9: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Yeyyy I am on chapter 12 xD do not spoil then hahaha


message 10: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments By the way the man that visited Blue's house for a reading I think I know who he is!!! The teacher ! But what is it that he is looking for is the thing that bugs meee haha I want to find this out


message 11: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments That happened in chapter 11 I should have mentioned it


message 12: by Celeste (new)

Celeste | 12 comments Yep it was the teacher. I thought I knew what he was looking for but now that I think about it I'm not so sure. I think he's on a power trip and wants to use the..... I don't know if you've gotten to that part yet =P


message 13: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Yeyy got it right!! No I did not got that par yet...

By the way I am slowly falling for Adam!! I don't know why but I like his character a lot!! haha How about you?? Who do you fancy ?


message 14: by Celeste (new)

Celeste | 12 comments Guess what! I'm done =D

Ok don't judge me but I like Ronan. I think I just like screwed up characters tbh. Adam is a bit too stubborn and principled for me. I have fluid principles that way =D


message 15: by Lin (new)

Lin (moonlightlin) | 37 comments Howww?? :D soo fastt I am still reading it, I just took a pause so I can finish the last few pages of ADSOM.

No judging at all I find Ronan to be very complex character and intriguing as a whole considering his story and his relationship with his brother. For now I like Adam let me finish the book and will tell you for sure which one abides my tastes xDD


message 16: by Celeste (new)

Celeste | 12 comments I have a problem stopping once I start reading. What is ADSOM?

How are you liking the book so far? Where have you reached in the story?
