ABOUT THE RAVEN CYCLE
Mystery, Romance and the supernatural combine in this series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater.
Book 1: The Raven Boys
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them–until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her. His name is Gansey, 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 is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher 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 doesn’t believe in true love, and never thought this would be a problem. But as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
Book 2: The Dream Thieves
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after….
Book 3: Blue Lily, Lily Blue
There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up.
Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.
The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost.

I haven’t started the books yet, but i will do it asap.
Blue is my favorite.
Blue because she’s so awesome
Blue. She’s like the glue that holds everyone together.
Gansey because I love his relationship with Blue!
I don’t know yet, but I love LOVE to find out 😀
I don’t know yet, I need to read the series.
I haven’t read any of the books yet, and I’m dying to! So I don’t have a favorite character, yet!
I haven’t actually read the series yet, so I don’t know who my favorite character will be, but I can’t wait to read these books someday! They’ve been on my list for quite a while. Thanks for the giveaway!! 🙂
I would have to say Ronan. He ia sarcasric, and really, who doesn’t love him?
Hmm how can I choose? I’d like to say Ronan, just because he’s so mysterious and complex and I still feel like us readers don’t truly know who he really is yet.
I haven’t started the Raven Cycle yet so I lack a favorite character at the moment.
I like Gansey cause well i have a thing for rich boys in books
My favorite character is probably Gansey because well i have a thing for rich guys ok? Don’t judge
Blue of course!!! she is awesome and similar to myself!!
I liked Blue the best because she’s a fascinating character in the series
I liked Blue the best because she’s a fascinating character in the series
I read the first book quite a while back and can’t really pick out a favorite character. I’ll have to go back and refresh my memory. I do look forward to reading the other books in the series.
Can’t wait to start this series. I can see I’ll be easily hooked!
I haven’t gotten the opportunity to read the series yet, but I want to so badly! 😉
Tough question because I like them all, but if I had to choose I’d pick Gansey because he’s very interesting, protective and a true friend. He’s always trying to help everyone.
forgot to put my name
DEFINITELY Gansey! What’s not to love about him!
My favorite character is Chainsaw! I’m a huge bird fanatic 🙂
Who is your favorite character in The Raven Cycle and why?
i havent read it or anything about it yet..thanks
I cant wait to read Blue Lily Lily Blue
I cant wait to read Blue Lily Lily Blue
Awesome giveaway – would love to win!
I do not have one yet, Just started reading. But many interesting characters indeed.
I like the blue sargant because she is the protagonist and she is psychic. Love her style and acting.
I really love Adam. He’s really sweet and considerate, and underneath, you know you can rely on him, no matter what, even if it’s a sacrifice to himself. Like when he sent flowers for the fist time to Blue. You know it’s all he could afford, but he wanted to let her know that he still wanted to call. Small things from him make giant impressions.
I do not have a favorite character as I have not read these books yet xD
I haven’t read the series yet but Blue Sargent sounds like a pretty intriguing character.
My favorite character is Blue! I love how adventurous and independent she is. Also love that she has black spikey hair 🙂
My favorite character is definitely Ronan. He has so many layers that I’m still trying to figure out, and every time I think
