The Raven Cycle	comment	Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a student at Aglionby, the local private school for wealthy boys. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as raven boys, they can only mean trouble.But Gansey is different. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other raven boys: Adam, the Scholarship Student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.For as long as she can remember, Blue has been told by her psychic family that she will kill her true love if she ever kisses him. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.The series is written by Maggie Stiefvater and is four books long. The first book in the series, The Raven Boys, was released September 18, 2012. The second book, The Dream Thieves, was released September 17, 2013. The third, Blue Lily, Lily Blue, was released October 21, 2014. The fourth, The Raven King, was originally scheduled to be released on September 29, 2015, but was pushed back to April 26, 2016 in order to give Maggie Stiefvater more time to edit. The Dreamer Trilogy, is a sequel series focused primarily on Ronan, his family, and another dreamer named Hennessy. The first book in the series, Call Down the Hawk, was released on November 5, 2019. The second, Mister Impossible, was released May 18, 2021, and the third book, Greywaren was released on October 18, 2022.

He was already a Jerk with a Heart of Gold in the first book, but the second one shows just how much he actually loves his friends and family, even though his emotional trauma makes him bad at expressing it. Declan in The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily, Lily Blue, by way of protecting his brothers even while being threatened by a hitman and driving 4 hours from DC to Henrietta every Sunday to go to church with them. Though since it's Declan, it's implied he may have motives besides just looking out for his family. Happens again in The Raven King, when he and Ronan finally reconcile and he proves that he ultimately does love his family. Adam in Blue Lily, Lily Blue, where he's much nicer to and more understanding of other characters, and consciously tries to control his temper.

The women of 300 Fox Way, especially Calla, rarely refer to Blue's friends by their names. Instead, Gansey is "the pretty one", Ronan is "the snake", and Adam is "Coca-Cola shirt". Noah avoids this only because as a ghost he can't go in the house. "Gansey" is itself a nickname, though not a particularly special one since all the Aglionby boys call each other by last name. "Gansey boy", the crew team's name for him, is a straighter example.

While Ronan doesn't have any POV chapters, he does give Adam several gifts (including a freaking mix tape), and the two of them spend tons of time together apart from the other characters. Even when they are around other people, they spend most of that time paired with each other in some way (thinking about each other, standing close together, talking mainly to each other, smirking at each other's jokes, excluding other people, etc.). Adam also mentions how similar Ronan is to Blue, his ex-girlfriend.

This is pretty standard among Aglionby students, even close ones like Gansey and his friends—they mainly reserve first names for intense, emotional, or intimate moments. Blue lampshades this on her first excursion with the boys. Part of what sets Noah apart from the rest of Gansey's friends is that they all call him by his first name rather than his last.

The Raven Cycle / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: The "Hondayota" that Gansey's family buys for Adam in The Dream Thieves. It's apparently made up of parts from at least three different cars, all of them different colors and, judging by the name, probably different makers too. The Pig, Gansey's Camaro, weirdly crosses this with Cool Car. On the one hand, it's a classic, sporty muscle car with an insanely powerful engine. On the other hand, it rattles, breaks down constantly, is super cramped on the inside, smells like gasoline, is so loud the characters have to yell to be heard whenever they drive places in it, and the radio and air conditioner are almost always weak or broken.

The Raven Cycle / int_f3da74ff	comment	Creepy Crows: One of the motifs in the series. Also Ronan's night horrors, though they're described as monstrous crow-men rather than just giant crows.

The Raven Cycle / int_feaf5424	comment	You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: In The Dream Thieves when Gansey says "Blue" instead of "Jane," Blue knows something serious is going on. Whenever the two are having a more serious moment, you know Gansey's emotions are getting to him when he calls her Blue. Ronan rarely calls Adam by his first name outside of his dreams, and when he does it's typically at a pivotal moment.
