After a bit of a rough start (or two…) The Raven Boys ended up being one of my absolute favorite books of 2012 – and an all-time favorite in general. So you can understand that I was sufficiently excited for the sequel, and the day it arrived in the mail was a good day indeed. But there’s always a lingering worry that the sequel won’t be as good as the original, or at least won’t live up to your now-sky-high-after-a-year-long-wait expectations. Thankfully, I can say that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. For me, The Dream Thieves met and exceeded my expectations, and we have another all-time-favorite.
I think it has to do with what I’m beginning to see as the “recipe” for my ideal book: engaging writing, intriguing characters… and a little bit of magic. ;) When these things come together perfectly, that book becomes unstoppable. And The Dream Thieves delivers on all counts.
