The second thrilling book in Maggie Stiefvater's The
Raven Cycle quartet.
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing
for Blue and Gansey will be the same. Ronan is falling more and
more deeply into his dreams ... and his dreams are intruding more
and more into waking life.
Gansey is needed at home, and is struggling to stay in Aglionby.
And Adam? He's made some new friends. Friends that are looking
for some of the same pieces of the puzzle that Gansey, Blue, and
Ronan are after.
Great power is at stake, and someone must be willing to wield
it.
Absolutely addictive writing for teen girls … and grown-up
girls… Magic, mystery and adventure at every turn
From the bestselling author of Shiver, Linger
and Forever which all debuted at #1 on the UK book bestseller
charts
Film rights to The Raven Cycle have been acquired
Okay, so to start off, I'm not the biggest fan of Ronan Lynch, so that is largely where The Dream Thieves lost me. I think this is a great book for people who love Ronan - most the book is spent on him - but I am so anxious to find Glendower that this whole book was a drag. I kept WAITING and WAITING for it all to get back on track and it didn't. Instead, it felt a bit more like a side story, distracting from the overall plot.
I know this isn't really fair to the series. For all I know at this stage, Ronan could be HUGELY important to the overall series, but I'm here for Gansey and Cabeswater and the Raven King, so this was ... not disappointing, but I guess underwhelming. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the book - it's entirely an issue of taste. I'm still on board for Blue Lily, Lily Blue. I still want to know what happens to the boys and the psychics and Blue, but I just wasn't as enthralled with this one. And that's okay. I'll leave Ronan to his fans and wait patiently over here with all the #TeamGansey folks....
