In this series, we follow Blue and friends, Adam, Gansey,
Noah, & Ronan in their journey to find the Welsh King,
Glendower.
The Dream Thieves picks up where book one {The Raven Boys}
concluded, with Ronan confessing to his friends that he is
able to pull things from his dreams, Chainsaw being one of
them.
Ronan may be rich like most of the boys at Aglionby Academy,
but without his family, he is lost. Ronan is short
tempered, brazen, angry, and is struggling with what he can
do and more importantly what he is.
As we learned in The Raven Boys, Adam already feels inferior
because of his family and his poverty. He is also not
dealing with it very well. He is so busy trying to prove his
worth and learn his place that he is letting things slip
away. Even his relationship with his friends and Blue.
This series is rather unique since there is not just one or
two main characters, but five. All five are part of the
journey, however, this book spends a bit more time on Ronan
and Adam and their struggles.
I really love this series. Maggie Stiefvater's writing is
amazingly addictive! Her characters are easily liked with
their complex personalities and their defining struggles. I
definitely recommend reading book one, The Raven Boys.
There are a lot of people included in the various plots, and
The Raven Boys will fill in all the gaps and confusion that
the reader may face if choosing not to read it.
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater are awake, magic is
swirling around Blue and The Raven boys and Ronan Lynch's
ability to pull objects from his dreams is almost out of
control but worst of all, the mysterious Gray Man is
stalking the Lynch family, looking for something called the
Greywaren.
