Full review on my blog!

So, here's the deal.
I was a bit disappointed that in terms of Glendower nothing much is going on in this book. It took me a while to get over that as I really wanted to know what would happen on that front.
However, once I moved past that I certainly came to appreciate The Dream Thieves. While Glendower doesn't so much as take a backseat but has gotten out of the car entirely, this story has lots of interesting moments to offer, nevertheless.
We finally get more of an insight into Romans life, head, and dreams. I needed that info ever since he plucked Chainsaw from his dreams in the first book.
The Raven Cycle just got far more exciting as this new angle moved into the picture. Again, many plot twists I hadn't seen coming are strewn throughout this book. The setup for the next novel was already great but then Stiefvater had to top it off with a cliffhanger! So, please excuse me while I try to find a copy of the subsequent installment asap!
