If there’s anything you need to be concerned about, it’s the mature themes and cursing. This book was eye opening and makes you think about the greater unknown. Overall, the Raven Boys (2012) is a beautifully written piece of literature with great writing and amazing parallels to Bratz the Movie (2007). This shows how much they care about their friends and how important they are to each other. Both characters know that they might be sacrificing their future for their friends, but they do it without hesitation anyway.

When Adam sacrifices himself to the sentient forest at the end of the Raven Boys (2012) it mirrors how Cloe stands up to Meredith at the end of Bratz the Movie (2007). Their friends cannot know what it is like in that situation, with further isolates them from the rest of the group.Īnother thematic parallel between Adam Parrish and Cloe comes and the end of their respective character arcs. Adam and Cloe, however, are both poor and either have an absent father or an abusive one. Both Sasha and Gansey in this situation are pretty well off financially and have a loving family. He was too busy smashing your head against the wall of your trailer while you apologized for being alive.' (The Raven Boys, 2012). When Cloe told Sasha 'at least I don't buy my friends with my daddy's bank account!' (Bratz the Movie, 2007) and Sasha responded with 'you don't have a daddy OR a bank account!' (Bratz the Movie, 2007) I think it drew a really great thematic parallel to when Gansey says 'I'm sorry your father never taught you the meaning of repugnant. Their friend groups are all financially well off, and struggle to relate to the struggles that Adam Parrish (The Raven Boys, 2012) and Cloe (Bratz the Movie, 2007), go through every day.

As rowdy and real as I find these things, the main element I want to focus on in this review are the thematic parallels between Adam Parrish (The Raven Boys, 2012) and Cloe (Bratz the Movie, 2007).īoth the characters of Adam Parrish (The Raven Boys, 2012) and Cloe (Bratz the Movie, 2007) are struggling to keep afloat surviving high school while living in poverty. all those quotes are from the second book but it doesnt matter shhh), fly plot twists, or fabulous characterization and relationships. 'wake up fckweasel, it's your girlfriend'? a masterpiece. Praise it for it's funky prose ('if you never saw the stars, candles were enough'? beautiful. there are many things to praise about this series.
