Favorite Book Series This Month
Clearly, The Raven Cycle, judging by the pace at which I went through the whole thing... and I'm considering reading them all over again. The Raven Boys starts off as a contemporary Gothic paranormal Harry Potter, but the series evolves into a found family epic (and romance) featuring several of the most individual characters I've ever met in fiction. It's got me interested in tarot cards like I've never been, sighing over an unlikely, unexpected, and perfect couple, and terrified of dreams (and Latin). I had such a book hangover, the first thing I did after finishing the last book was text a friend who also NEEDS to read it. Thank you so much for the repeated recommendations from Paper Fury for getting me to read these! These are definitely YA in content and at the same time so far beyond YA in complexity, theme, construction, and the characters, the characters...I've already preordered the first book in the sequel trilogy, Call Down the Hawk.
