Quotes from the Raven Cycle

The Raven King (Book 4)

So it's finally here. I've finished. YAY! I'm so sorry for the long wait, but I'm done and, of course, the book was amazing. Thank you, everyone, who waited for this. So, to my wonderful readers, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, have a wonderful ______ <-- (Insert holiday here) this is my gift to you. (P.S. There is more cursing then I'd like there to be in this chapter, but these are all quotes, so if you don't like it, don't read these books.)

Pg. 15 - "'Where the hell is Ronan?' Gansey asked, echoing the words that thousands of humans had uttered since mankind developed speech."

Pg. 45 - "Blue didn't care that he-it-Noah- was strange and decaying and frightening. She knew that he-it-Noah- was strange and decayed and frightened, and she knew that she loved him anyway. She hugged it. Him. Noah. She didn't care if he wasn't quite human anymore. She would keep calling whatever this was Noah for as long as it wanted to be called Noah." (This is so fricken sweet!! I just love their friendship!)

Pg. 46 - "The kitchen window groaned open, and Jimmi shouted out, 'Blue! Your boys are out front, looking like they're fixing to bury a body.' Again? Blue thought." (AGAIN!!!)

Pg. 47 - "'No homework. I got suspended,' Blue replied.
'Get the fuck out,' Ronan said with admiration. 'Sargent, you asshole.'"

Pg. 48 - "(Adam) 'For what?'
(Blue) 'Emptying another student's backpack over his car. I don't really want to talk about it.'
'I do,' Ronan said.
'Well I don't. I'm not proud of it.' Ronan patted her leg. 'I'll be proud for you.'" (This scene perfectly represents Ronan and Blue's friendship and I love it.)

Pg 51 - After Ronan says something offensive "Blue saw Adam both smirk and turn his face away in a hurry so that Gansey wouldn't see, but it was too late. 'Et tu, Brute?' Gansey asked Adam. 'Disappointing.'" (This is wonderful because not only is it more evidence of Adam's crush on Ronan (laughing at his jokes) but I also love the voice my head gave Gansey when he said that. It sounded like my best friend pretending to be my mom before both of us burst out laughing.)

Pg. 63 - After Adam asks Cabswater to start playing Ronan's heavy. "'It wasn't me,' Ronan said. He looked to Blue, who shrugged. He caught Adam's eye. When Adam's mouth quirked, Ronan 's expression stilled for a moment before turning into a loose smile he ordinarily reserved for Matthew's silliness. Adam skated the edge here. Making Ronan Lynch smile felt as charged as making a bargain with Cabeswater. These weren't forces to play with." (Probably because Cabswater is a lot like Ronan because RONAN DREAMED IT! Also, they are so cute!!)

Pg. 74 - "'Stay with her,' Ronan ordered Orphan Girl, who swore at him, 'Watch your mouth around my mother.'" (Where do you think she learned it from Ronan?)

Pg. 74-75 - "' I can't understand that when I'm awake ... You wanted out; you're out now. Things are different.'

Aurora said, 'Don't be sad Ronan,' which made him look away from all of them, the set of him shoulders unmoving and furious." (This is so sad. Ronan needed a friend inside his head and she just left.)

Pg. 128 - "Maura's voice rose clearly from the front hallway. 'I've brought home dead people. Cancel every appointment! Hang up your phones! Orla, if you have a boy here, he's got to go.'" (First, I love how no one cares. What? Dead person? Yeah, it's just a regular Tuesday. Second, could you imagine if Orla did have a boy over? Just imagine you were at someone's house and their aunt shouts that she brought home a dead person, and no one freaked out.)

Pg. 140-141 - "...Three tarot cards sprayed before him. He'd taken one of the floor mats out of the car to crouch on to keep from dirtying his uniform pants. If you combined these two things - the unfathomable and the practical - you were most of the way to understanding Adam Parrish."
