Stiefvator created an awesome world with compelling characters and her own brand of mythology. I couldn't give it five stars because the ending was simply a setup for the next novel, which I now have to read.

I've heard this is a good book so I went in with high expectations. but I had a hard time getting into it. I'm not sure if it was the narrator who has kind of a slow voice or the writing I felt would stop and focus on unimportant points for a long time when I just wanted the story to continue. but I honestly really liked the characters. I found them likeable and interesting. and the story was alright as well. I think I will probably continue this series because I like the characters.

Likes: So much detail and everything is a little creepy. I love Will Patton. I can't wait for the new book! The story sucks you in.

Dislikes: Some of the story line isn't quite clear. When I read it the second time it made more sense.

it was great I loved it from the beginning I couldn't wait to see what happened next it was just amazing try to finish all the way through

I'm literally speechless with my love for this story! It's was beyond beautifully woven and exceptionally delivered. So much love for this book, these characters and every wonderful word!
I had been sceptical about the male narration but I needn't be. It was perfect!

With this series, I would definitely rank Maggie Stiefvater as one of the best YA writers today. I'm writing this review after relistening to the first 3 books in the series -again-x3?- and just before #4 comes out. Can't wait!!! Book 1: the group is complete with the addition of Blue. Backgrounds on Blue, Gansey & Adam. Revelation about Noah. Things start to happen with the discovery of Cabeswater; Nemesis #1 dealt with. Ends with a surprise by Ronan, which starts Book 2.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Hope it gets turned into a movie or show.

I have no idea, as I've only listened to the audiobook lol

Is "all of the moments" a good answer? If I had to select just one, I think when they discovered what happened to Noah, and how it actually affected Noah's presence in the book, affected me a lot and will always stick with me.

Wow, that's hard. But I might have to go with Adam. He really, really makes you "feel" Adam, ya know? It's amazing

YESSSS!! I practically did, save for needing to sleep at one point. Finished in less than 24 hours

BUY THIS. IT IS AMAZING

I really enjoyed the characters, the story and the writing. I fell in love with each character slowly, but completely.

After reading the first book in the series, I can't wait to download the rest of them! The premise of the story is really different, really fascinating. I wouldn't have imagined, from the description of the book, that it would be this impressive. The combination of fact & fiction (and the fact that I am not SURE which is which) is wonderful. The characters are so well conceived, backstories revealed, and the dialogue grabbed and held me. The poetic descriptions of places and moments are truly beautiful. It unfolds slowly, thoughtfully, yet never drags. AND, it has encouraged me to do some research into a number of topics that are central to the story, which is the true evidence of how drawn into this story I have become. Looking forward to the rest of the series, hoping it will continue to be this fascinating.

There are other books/series I have loved AS MUCH....but I can't really put my finger on anything in this genre that is quite so nicely written.

He always gives a good performance, he is subtle, and has a very nice range of dynamics to suit characters, and, even more important, the MOOD of the scenes. I am usually not aware of him changing gender, it's done very subtly, unnoticeable, natural. I like him quite a bit.

The scenes that involved the character of Noah....when his identity and nature were revealed. That gave me goosebumps!!!

Low-key "epic fantasy", if there is such a thing....historical, heroic quest, supernatural, ghost and romance all rolled into a lovely package. Very likable, hate-able characters.
