The Dream Thieves Maggie Stiefvater Books

WOW. HELLO. I think I was just on a crazy rollercoaster of insane proportions.

Firstly, this book was seriously such a five star right off the bat. I only decreased it half a star because, for me, it lulled right before the action picked up again near the end. So it felt like I was running full speed, stopped, and then had to get back into running. Which kinda messed up the flow. BUT BESIDES THAT THIS BOOK IS CRAZY. RONAN HAD A DRAGON AND IT FOUGHT ANOTHER DRAGON. DRAGON GUYS. D-R-A-G-O-N-S.

The synopsis on this one was what made me want to get into this series. I liked the first book but this book is where all the fun picks up. I started loving the characters more. I started building relationships and even though there wasn't as much treasure hunting, I still had fun.

The addition of Gray Man at first felt unneeded but, screw that cause I loved him by the end. He is both deadly and quirky. Bless the quirky characters.

There's still some woes for me with the writing style, but unlike the first book I could easily look past them here. Hardly noticed them to be honest.

I'm still in that after-reading-high so this review is probably pretty biased. Any faults though are seriously so small. I'm seriously buzzing on how the rest of the books are going to be. The action can only get more intense right?

So, The Dream Thieves centers largely on Ronan; his backstory and the newly disclosed secret that he can manifest physical items from his dreams. The continuing quest to locate the mythical Welsh King Glendower is still on the forefront of Ganseys agenda, which becomes complicated by the fact that Cabeswater has disappeared. The ley lines have been acting erratically ever since the ritual in Cabeswater weeks ago, and Adam has been increasingly distant, clearly suffering from some sort of inner turmoil which inevitably affects his once budding relationship with Blue. Ronan and the crew piece together clues about Ronans ability to take things from his dreams, while at the same time a mysterious man shows up in Henrietta, tasked with locating and delivering the Greywaren to a powerful paying customer. Secrets, truths, and heartbreaks are at the center of this book with a startling cliffhanger of an ending.

While I didn't love this one as much as the first, I feel like this series has lots of moving parts to ultimately deliver the reader one heck of a story at the end, and book 2 was setting the stage and laying the groundwork for the larger story. I did like that this story focused much more on Ronan, providing us with yet more insight into this hot headed, sharp tongued member of the group. He grew on me immensely as a character. Watching the once budding relationship between Blue and Adam deconstruct was truly heartbreaking. Hell, the internal conflict within Adam himself was heartbreaking. I just felt for the kid yanno? But at the same time I wanted to shake him sometimes. The author creates such a mythical, otherworldly tone with these books that compliments the story of Gwendower well. Even though the setting is modern day in rural Virginia, as a reader you just get a sense of otherness, of something regal and big, something important. I feel like every. single. person in this series is a specific piece in the immense puzzle that is this plot line. Everything from Blues uncertain parentage, the fact that she is an amplifier, her psychic family, Ganseys death and resurrection as a child, Adams ability to control the ley line, and Ronans abilities as a Greywaren. Everyone has a role to play, a role they seem almost destined to play within this story. And I've gotta say, I'm having a pretty great time watching it all unfold.
It's been way too long since I read book one but amazingly I still remembered it perfectly. I remember how much I adored Gansey and I still do but this one made me like Ronan more! I also liked Noah more even though he's, you know, a ghost. Adam got on my nerves sometimes but it wasn't his fault it was the whole thing with what he did in book one. I don't think he and Blue really go together, though. I want Gansey and Blue to get together so bad and that whole her killing her true love thing better not happen.

The concept of this book sounded so good and it was better than I thought. I mean the idea of being able to pull things out of your dreams is so cool. The fact that he brought Chainsaw from a dream is amazing other than when he dies the poor thing will just go in a coma, basically. I didn't see anything wrong with it until he brought that monster back but I loved how everyone came together for that. I laughed when he told Blue they needed her help burying a body and she didn't even flinch just went along with them. That's a true friend.

It was super interesting getting to know more about Ronan's family. I think I waited to read this book for so long because I didn't really like Ronan in book one but I'm glad I finally gave it a chance. I was really missing out. Better late than never, though, right?

The ending kind of shocked me. Not the thing with Kavinsky because I knew something like that would happen the dud was crazy. The thing with Blue's mom though was shocking. Also, I didn't expect to like the Grayman. I thought he was going to be a problem but he ended up being delightful.
WOW. HELLO. I think I was just on a crazy rollercoaster of insane proportions.
