I just finished reading The Raven Cycle and tbh wasn't too interested in the plot/setting. Didn't overly care about ley lines or Glendower or Artemis etc.
I did though really enjoy the world of the series:
300 Fox Way felt so real to me like could so visualise how full of people and busy the house always was.
Loved the idea of Blue living there, in a house full of psychics.
Loved the friendship of the group. All the fist bumps and bros and Ronan's constant swearing. And how Blue described it as them all being a little in love with each other.
I loved the ridiculousness of the Gray Man telling everyone he met that he was a hit man
I loved how snarky, angry Ronan dreamed himself a baby bird and a little girl with hoofs.
I really cared about Blue/Gansey and felt bad for them feeling like they had to hide their feelings.
And, okay, before reading the series I knew Ronan/Adam became a thing but ah god I loved them so much! It was such a great slow burn of them realising their feelings and ah I loved it. 😍
So yeah, while the overall plot didn't really hold my attention, I did enjoy the series and was a bit sad to leave the world. Really looking forward to the Dreamer trilogy now because more Ronan/Adam! 😁♥️
