I have finished with both books! Yay for me!
I've reviewed Book 5, The Diviners, quite a bit, so I'll just reflect a brief moment. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Again--NOT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS! I've already looked into it and the second book, Lair of Dreams, hits shelves August 25th. I will definitely be grabbing this one because I hope to learn more about the rest of the Diviners from the first book. The focus was so much on Evie O'Neill that the others still have a lot to share with the readers. There were several characters that I wanted to know more about, so I hope that they continue to be present in the second book.
Book 6: The Raven Boys
As I mentioned before, I was having a difficult time getting into this book. I'm glad I held on and kept reading because I easily found my stride about a third of the way into the novel. I couldn't stop reading the rest of the book and finished it quickly. Thankfully, I already have the second book checked out, but I promised to read something other than fantasy next!
Ultimately, I finally connected with a few of the main characters. It was easy to find myself caring about their lives and their past. Adam, Gansey, Noah, Ronan, and Blue are all extremely different from one another, but they make sense as a group. They play off of each others' traits, meshing together and creating a reason for their existence.
The magic that is the ley line works for this type of story. The hunt for Glendower is ever present. The energy of Henrietta flows through all of the characters in some way. There are many elements of the plot that combine into the final scenes of the novel. Even so, I still have questions! Which is why I have to read the rest of the series.
That tends to be a good sign for a book...when you want more...and I want more of this series!
