There is the most development for Ronan, but the reader is also able to learn more about each of the characters and how their individual personalities merge together to create their beautiful friendship. I'm still reading quickly but I can feel myself already slowing down. I don't do it consciously, but I always read slower as I reach closer to the end of the series.

April 24, 2018 - This is my second reread. God I love Maggie Stiefvater. I love everything about The Raven Cycle books. Whenever I have a really rough time, I reread this series. It makes me feel so much better about my life, I feel like I am among friends. I talk about the characters in this book series as if they are my friends in real life. I am currently trying to convince my husband to read the first book because I know he will love the world Maggie has created. I already miss the whole world. Ronan is definitely my favorite character. I identify so hard with him. I am the same kind of dark, angry brooding but with a gentle soul. It sounds lame when I say it like that but if I met you in person I would glare at you and tell you to go fuck yourself while deep inside myself thinking you were probably pretty or cute or nice or some shit. That's just me. I struggle a lot with trying to express myself, with falling in love and with just dealing with my own traumas and expressing myself. *sigh* This book is just completely perfect in every way. I'm gonna stop now because it is time for Book 3!

April 7, 2017 - The Dream Thieves gave me an even deeper love and affection for Ronan. I adored the fact that Ronan is so real, he's not just a black clothed thug, he has a deep reaching affection for nature, for his family and for his friends. I feel even more connected with Ronan also because I discovered that my 'safe place' is the forest, just like Ronan. I feel so connected with the forest, with trees, with ravens and with the earth. I feel so connected to Ronan. His love, his tragedy, his pain.

I adore the fact that the characters are all growing and moving. I love the mystery and the darkness and the sleeping Raven King.

I have to read the third. I must enter the world again. ...more "

"God it is so good to be back in the world of the Raven Cycle. I've found that I have reread this series once a year for the past three years. It's absolutely my comfort series. I reread it when times are bad and when I need to be with people that I love." — Sep 21, 2019 11:49AM

Every time I reread The Raven Cycle I feel a little more full and a little more broken. There is a weird sense of longing, loss, and love that combines together in my ...more "

"Ugh..... it is so nice to be back into the world of The Raven Cycle. I've missed all of them so much. I think this is my fourth reread of The Raven Boys and my third reread of the whole series as a whole. I'm so excited to reread this in preparation for Call Down the Hawk. I am so fucking excited." — Sep 14, 2019 03:15PM
