Will Patton
An all-new series from the masterful, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!
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.

Would you listen to The Raven Boys again? Why?
I'd certainly read it again, but I'm not sure about listening to it. Having a narrator with this style of older voice for this story didn't fit at all..Who was your favorite character and why?
How am I supposed to decide?! They're all great and I just want them to be happy :,)Would you be willing to try another one of Will Patton’s performances?
I may not have listened far enough to get used to the narrator but I just couldn't match the story and its characters up with Patton's voice. I'm sure he'd be excellent in another style of book (like horror or thriller cause I felt very uncomfortable at times listening to him), yet I felt his voice REALLY didn't fit the story and the age of its characters, but I guess that's just personal opinion. I probably won't be listening to any more of his performances as his style just doesn't work with me, I'm sure there will be people who like his narrations and fair play to them, it's just not my cup of tea that's all.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Fortune telling, birds and teenagers in distress.Any additional comments?
I might see if I can give it another go but the slow pace at times really bugged me as well.Fab story! I just couldn't deal with the narrator.
