Remi Feldman said: " The Raven Boys (yes, I include Blue Sargent with the Raven Boys) are back at it again in the second installment in The Raven Cycle. This time around, we get to learn about the angsty Raven Boy, Ronan Lynch. As the reader, we find out some interesting The Raven Boys (yes, I include Blue Sargent with the Raven Boys) are back at it again in the second installment in The Raven Cycle. This time around, we get to learn about the angsty Raven Boy, Ronan Lynch. As the reader, we find out some interesting information about the Snake, we learn that he can take things out of his dreams. (I know, it sounds awesome). Although it seems that the shaved-headed Lynch is a God-like creature, it comes with a price. With another boy, Kavinsky, who has similar abilities comes into his life, it causes some difficulties. Yeah, difficulties is the right word. Watching Ronan grow and learning more about the Snake is what really pushes the story along. It’s the most interesting part of the book itself. Altogether, the character development for EVERY character (including the women at 300 Fox Way and our new character Mr. Gray) is phenomenal. The reader gets to learn so much about these characters and we get to see how they grow. Personally, I love character-driven stories, and this installment of the series is definitely more character-driven than setting, which is a bit different from the first book. Yes, I did mention Mr. Gray, or the Gray Man. Even if others were not a fan, I really liked this new character. Even in the next book, I still like him. The development from this character from beginning to end is wonderful to see. Is it a bit abrupt? Yes it is. Does it matter? No, because I personally like that, because it matches the Gray Man’s character, abrupt. I like his stark difference from other characters in the book. Now, the plot. I loved this plot. I thought it was fun, action-packed. It does not have many twists (I mean they are there, but not a prevalent as the twists are in the other books). I am not going to say much about the plot because I do not want accidently spoil anything. (If you want to talk about the plot or hear my spoiler-y opinions, contact me). Overall, if you liked The Raven Boys, you will like The Dream Thieves. The characters are golden, and so is the plot. Currently, I am on book IV, and so far The Dream Thieves is my favourite It is a little slow at one part, so just look out for that. Would definitely recommend!
