Wow, I can't believe I didn't read this earlier. But I'm glad I read it. Still need a while to digest that ending, though. 
 *ten minutes later* 
 Yeah. So I poked my nose looked around and decided what to insert in my review. 
 Let me be honest. The Raven Boys has been one of those books for me, the ones you know you need to read but keep on putting off. I blame the blurb (yes, I know, unbelievable act - who blames blurbs?) but seriously. I'm being honest, Maggie Stiefvater: your blurb is misleading. Seriously. I know from reading your book that you're a big fan of bringing suspense into the game and I think that's what you wanted to do - leave uncertainty enough that your plot twists are hugggeeee - but honestly. What's there in that blurb is a trope. Forbidden love is a trope for avid fantasy readers. If you just insert other factors of your story, like the ley lines and that God guy whose name I just can't seem to remember, you'll perfectly convey the awesome and unique idea bubbling behind your plot. 
 But that's kind of irrelevant. Who am I to blame a blurb for not reading a book? (a procrastinator) I absolutely loved this book. I'm sad I didn't read it earlier. The prose is wonderful. The characters leap out of the page. I was hooked from the first line and can't complain about slow plots like other readers because I was transfixed from the first page in. Amazing book, man. Vivid imagery, wonderful buildup, angry conflict, raw characters - what else can a reader ask for? Especially one like me, who's fallen off the reader radar. This was the perfect book to bring me back in reading shape. 
 I know, there's still four stars staring up there. That's because the ending was very confusing. Like, seriously. 
 (SPOILER ALERT) 
 The climax happened. I didn't understand what actually went down in that clearing. I didn't understand Adam's sacrifice, I didn't understand how he survived and the ley lines still awoke, I didn't understand why the trees said they know about the King guy and yet that part didn't get fulfilled, the transition from the clearing to x amount of time in the future was very jarring, I didn't quite get Neeme (or whatever her name is)'s disappearance, I didn't understand what actually went down in that x between the final scene and the climax scene. 
 Basically, the resolution was really... rushed. The whole ending, climax plus resolution, was rushed. It just fell flat. After all that buildup, it wasn't quite what I expected. Just fell flat. Heck, I didn't even get Ronan's closing line! I don't know, man. But it could've been better, thus it is with four stars that I part. 
 PS: and can anyone tell me what the hell was the third plot point? I think it was (view spoiler)[ Adam and Gansey's fight (hide spoiler)] but in that case the writer should've done a better job to show what the characters were feeling so it really felt like a 3rd plot point and the dark night where there's no more hope. And if it were (view spoiler)[ Adam's father thingy (hide spoiler)] then I'll say the same thing I said just a couple words ago. I couldn't quite relate with Adam. His entrance into the POV circle was a little too late; I could never connect enough with him to fully understand him. Thus the confusion during the climax. I didn't get the sacrifice because I just didn't get the guy and how much it meant to him. Definitely should've been done better.
