## Description

If you could steal things from dreams, what would you take? Ronan Lynch has secrets. Some he keeps from others. Some he keeps from himself. One secret: Ronan can bring things out of his dreams. And sometimes he’s not the only one who wants those things. Ronan is one of the raven boys — a group of friends, practically brothers, searching for a dead king named Glendower, who they think is hidden somewhere in the hills by their elite private school, Aglionby Academy. The path to Glendower has long lived as an undercurrent beneath town. But now, like Ronan’s secrets, it is beginning to rise to the surface — changing everything in its wake. Of THE RAVEN BOYS, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY wrote, “Maggie Stiefvater’s can’t-put-it-down paranormal adventure will leave you clamoring for book two.” Now the second book is here, with the same wild imagination, dark romance, and heart-stopping twists that only Maggie Stiefvater can conjure.

Review: Incredible Second Entry in The Raven Cycle! - The Dream Thieves is the kind of book that makes me want to write a book report & analyze all that it is & the world happening within it. It is a world so carefully constructed that I can believe it is my own, despite the magic & mysticism. It is simply such a well put together story, a sewing table cluttered with a mess of colorful, unique, seemingly disparate threads of all shapes & sizes; threads that have been left to their own devices that weave & wend, loop & lap, twisting endlessly, wrapping around & around until they seem hopelessly entwined, carelessly tangled into a complicated, impossible-to-undo knot. But the trick is that when you go to pull it tight, where that messy, ugly knot should be, instead you realize it's formed a perfectly beautiful bow, or an afghan crocheted of images, or a sweater woven in technicolor dreams. The Raven Cycle has floated around my periphery for some time, but due to the large amount of mixed reviews on desertcart, I had been hesitant to read it. I bought book 1 with an Xmas gift card, & ended up ordering the remaining 3 before even completing that first book, so gripping was it that I knew I'd have to know more. The Raven Boys introduced the town of Henrietta, & the world of the Aglionby "Raven Boys"-- Gansey (Richard Campbell Gansey III, "just Gansey"), Rowan Lynch, Adam Parrish, & Noah Czerny. Also appearing is Blue Sargent, the only female in a family of psychics without the sight. I suppose you might call Blue our heroine... & she is just as tough & independent & flawed & imperfect as you could want a protagonist to be. In my opinion, though, there's no one hero\heroine\protag-- it's an ensemble cast that frankly wouldn't work nearly so well were you to remove or replace even one of the cleverly crafted characters. They, & their corner of the world, are written as a lovely structured mess, full of bits & pieces that sometimes seemed so disconnected but yet all managed-- masterfully-- to come together. In new & surprising ways. Emphasis on surprising, as this book kept me guessing & caught me off guard repeatedly (& I read a heck of a lot, which means I tend to guess twists with decent reliability. Not in this book). At no point did I know what was coming, or what to think. All in all, it was an incredible story, with pages full of-- I don't know how else to say this-- life, LIFE, distilled to it's most basic, underlying beauty. Like something you would see or hear or feel or think on an acid trip, with all of the vibrant details that implies. I didn't think it would be possible for me to like the second book as much as the first (you know how the sophomore slump seems to go...) but I was totally wrong on that regard. I can hardly express how impressed I am with The Dream Thieves. It expounds on The Raven Boys in all of the very best possible ways; a tale of such intricacy & nuance that it renders it's excellent predecessor a mere outline, a black & white line drawing, leached of color, missing those parts most important; a skeleton that it has come to fully flesh out. Book 1 introduced these quirky characters & welcomed me into their world; book 2 has identified each of them as individuals, their heads & hearts filled with poignant thoughts & powerful feelings that burn so brightly most real people would appear dull & two-dimensional in comparison. Maggie Stiefvater's prose expresses these characters so intimately that their thoughts & feelings, hopes & desires, dreams & ambitions, flaws & phobias, fears & failures & fascinations with things unknown have become my own. I am there with them every step of the way. Quite simply, I have never read another book like it-- no, like them (as I've so far read a pair of books; or a quartet, technically. Assuming the remaining 2 works live up to these high standards I'm developing... I think they will😊). I don't know where it's going but it promises to be an interesting ride, & every one of these kids is my ride or die (though Ronan & Gansey are of particular appeal...& I feel traitorous to the others just saying that)! Here's the thing about that ride-- from page 1 it's a wildly teetering whirlwind, no safety belts in sight. Their reality is sprinkled liberally with our world's idea of madness: psychics & secrets, prophecies & mysteries & magic & dream-walking, murder minded monsters & malevolent masks, trees that speak Latin & ghostly close friends, the awakening of a ley line & the slumber of an ancient king, tentative proof of time travel, the inevitable intertwining of their individual destinies depositing them at this point, here & now... each of them knowing but not-knowing that in fact they are the threads binding it all together... If it sounds crazy, it is. If it sounds hard to follow, it's not. You are so thoroughly sucked in it's as if you're living it yourself. But the best part of all that craziness, the curvebalIs thrown from nowhere & the staircases leadimg to nothing, is that I don't really even have to suspend my sense of disbelief. Not in the way a reader usually signs up for when reading a fictional novel based in fantasy & overflowing with the paranormal. As abstract & out there as the plot has gotten thus far, nothing has happened that is so far outside the realm of possibility as to render it preposterous. Not everyone will agree, of that I'm certain, but to my mind, it all seems to fit within the realm of their world as I understand it-- & ours, in some cases, as well. Those undertones of ancient wisdom, a collective consciousness, an exploration of energy-- all things I find plausible, particularly the power of ley lines & the possibility that they slumber. I find that these ideas add an edge of the philosophical & serious. This isn't the only dip into the deep end that I've noticed, either, as the disparities in the situations of Blue & the boys-- uber-rich Gansey, the soon-to-be Senator's son who doesn't recognize his own rudeness in certain monetary situations; Adam, who grew up in a trailer in Henrietta & has worked 3 jobs to pay his way at exclusive Aglionby for the chance to escape Henrietta, his own personal hell; Blue, whose lack of sixth sense makes her feel blind in a house full of seers; Noah, a ghost whose visibility & tactile function is tied to the whim of the newly wakened line; & Ronan...this book is Ronan's most of all, the title comes from him, speaks of his secrets & those of his father. These are the same secrets that got his father killed, but that may prove a missing piece in the overall puzzle the group seeks to solve (each with their own reasons & hoped for outcomes, of course-- even if they are in direct contradiction to the others'). Then there is the sexual tension between Ronan & his arch-enemy\mirror-image, Kavinsky. Their attraction is lovely & realistically portrayed, & ends up as heartbreaking as any literary love affair ever is. Maggie Stiefvater's masterful manner of weaving this tragic love story deserves more praise than I can lavish upon it here. Bottom line is that I have rarely read a more beautiful book, & I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here, although I can't help but feel that what is to come will run me through the emotional wringer in ways I have yet to comprehend. If you haven't read it, grab the Raven Boys & start reading now. It will take you on a journey unlike any you've ever experienced.
Review: Nuanced Characters, Beautifully Crafted Story, Masterful Language - "What is real?" Maggie Stiefvater has officially soared to the top of my list of word masters of modern young adult literature. She is a master! Whether you enjoy this story or not, there can be no debate about her ability to paint pictures through words and create nuances in her characters that reverberate through you as you read. This is not a story that is a quick read. Most will not just pick it up one day, breeze through it, and finish it in a night. You just can't. Every word seems important ... significant in some way. Even when you aren't exactly sure how everything fits together you just know that somehow these words you are reading MATTER. So it took a lot longer to finish this one than I am accustomed to take as I read. It wasn't for lack of enjoyment. It was just because I wanted to make sure I was getting it. I needed to internalize every word, every scene, every thought of these wonderfully layered characters. Maggie has a way of conveying an idea about her characters through her words that shows more in one sentence than many authors are able to do in a page. I loved being immersed in this story ... in her words. Masterful! As for the actual story ... I can hardly explain it in a way that will truly convey what is actually occurring. There were times in this story where I felt as if I was in the middle of the movie Inception. Reality became blurred. Things that seemed real were not. Things that were in dreams became real. How did it fit together? I'm not even sure that that is totally clear by the end of the book. There is still much to learn. This is a complicated story that requires all brain cylinders moving to capture. It is a story that leaves you wanting to take notes at times so that you can revisit it in the future to try and determine the significance of different symbols and scenes. It is complicated enough that there will be some who don't have the patience to wade through everything. There were times when I thought that I might not have the patience to do it. But I pressed on, and I feel like I was rewarded for my diligence. There are so many layers to this story that no single review can give it justice. If you are looking for a unique story that keeps you thinking I highly recommend it. Now, for some short bullets about things I thought about the story: Blue: Wonderfully quirky. In a bind that would test the strongest of us, the future promise that her true love will die if she kisses him creates some amazing scenes in this story as she gets closer and closer to these Aglionby boys. Gansey: Seemingly perfect, but underneath a layered boy with struggles and insecurities. He seems more real to me in this book, less obsessive regarding his quest. One of the best almost-kiss scenes I have ever read. Adam: All I could think about Adam through this story was, "Bless his heart." So many troubles, too much pride, so few moments of joy. Bless his heart. Noah: Still a fleeting part of the story most of the time. I can't say much about him except to say that he and Blue have one of the most beautiful/tragic scenes I have read in a novel in a long, long time. So beautifully written. I shed a little tear for poor Noah. Ronan: Ronan and his dreams take a starring role in this story. I really love Ronan's character ... not because he is so good, but because he is so nuanced. He can be scary and grumpy. He can seem uncaring and hard. And yet he is full of so much caring and love at times. He really is a good, good person, but he has so much churning inside him. I could psychologically study him for days. Blue's family: I ADORE these ladies!!! Mr. Gray: What an amazingly written bad guy. I started the book scared to death of him and his capabilities. I ended the book sympathizing with him and rooting for him to succeed. My favorite kind of bad guy. One of many lines in the book that I enjoyed immensely: There was that heavy silence that sometimes happens when a hit man enters the room. I don't know why I liked that line so much. It just made me chuckle for its quirkiness, especially because of where it occurs in the scene where it appears. As with The Raven Boys, I ended this book completely confused about the last line. What in the world was that all about? I hate finishing a book confused. I feel like I should know what it means. Yet I don't. Erg! But I have great faith in Maggie that I will soon be brought into the light so that I can understand the newest developments. I can already tell that this series will be one that I will want to immediately re-read once I finish it so that I can catch all of the hidden meaning in actions and scenes once everything comes together in the end. I can't wait to have it all play out. Give this series a try if you are looking for amazing writing that will make you think deeper and richer. Four stars!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing.
*by M***N on October 5, 2013*

Oh. My. Gosh. I loved The Raven Boys, but The Dream Thieves totally blew me away. It was amazing. It was more action packed with higher stakes, but in the elegant and beautifully written way that is Maggie Stiefvater. I remember thinking while reading The Raven Boys that the plot seemed so impossible to solve. How on earth can we already know that Blue will fall in love and kill her true love and that person will be Gansey? How on earth can the Blue I know fall for the Gansey I know? And how can they all survive this quest? How will this end? What could possibly happen next? And what does it all mean? This story is so deliciously unpredictable, magical, and absolutely complicated. I love it. I love the layers and beneath all of the plot layers are the character layers and their own motivations. This is such a good story. I love the characters. I love how complicated and real they are. Their personalities just hit you in the face when you read the book and you just can't help but love them for who they are. I feel their pain, hope, angst, and heartbreak. If The Raven Boys felt more like a paranormal romance at first, if only on the surface, The Dream Thieves feels more like a fantasy. There's more darkness and more power surging through Henrietta and the characters are less on a small supernatural quest and more on a path where their choices and loyalties are incredibly important. This isn't just about Blue and the death of her true love. This is about everyone. The world. Everything. And, wow, Maggie Stiefvater has this way of making characters fall for each other that just makes me melt. In her books, there's barely a touch, an acknowledgement, or a whisper, but you just feel so much intensity and you get to watch these characters fall in love with each other's whole soul and motivation and drive and everything. It's so incredible. I can't give a detail of the plot of The Dream Thieves away because it feels wrong to, but it is very, very good. I loved it even more than The Raven Boys. I highly recommend this series, this particular book in the series, and basically anything by Maggie Stiefvater.
