Description: Praise for The Raven Boys "Stiefvater is a master storyteller." - USA Today *"It's a tour de force of characterization, and while there is no lack of event 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 *"[A] story very few writers could dream up and only Stiefvater could make so palpably real. Simultaneously complex and simple, compulsively readable, marvelously wrought...The magic is entirely pragmatic; the impossible, extraordinarily true." - Kirkus , starred review *"[T]he book is marvelous, for not only is it filled with marvels, it is also a marvel of imagination and, more prosaically, structure. Rich, too, in characterization, this fantasy/mystery rises to the level of serious literature, leaving readers hungering for more." - Booklist , starred review "In a young-adult market crowded with copycats, it's refreshing to find a book that blazes a path as unique as Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys . The first title in the "Raven Cycle" quartet is a dizzying paranormal romance tinged with murder and Welsh mythology." - Los Angeles Times "This first in a planned four-novel series draws readers into a world where time enfolds hauntingly, and magic informs reality." - The Washington Post "Equal parts thriller and mystery, with a measured dash of romance sprinkled on top, The Raven Boys is an intricately layered read that will probably leave you with more questions than answers. In fact, Maggie has woven such a unique, intriguing narrative that I struggled for comparisons." - MTV Hollywood Crush "My love for Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys is so great that I can't even write a review of it. And when I begin to think of fantasy casting options, my mind goes absolutely blank, because no actors can possibly live up to the characters I've made in my mind... Everything in this book feels so grounded and real, by the time actual magic comes into the story, it is absolutely believable. Everything." -VH1.com
