I've read/listened to this, hmm, three or four times and I have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. I've been known as a goody-goody pretty much my whole life so I'm not sure if it's surprising or totally unsurprising that Ronan is my…

From a literary and plot point of view, this series is jam-packed with fantasy themes that shouldn’t fit together – and it would seem silly if it came from any other writer. But Stiefvater knows how to pull a reader into a story.…

The second book of the Raven Cycle, The Dream Thieves, focuses on Ronan, who can take objects out of his dreams, on his journey to learn the truth about his family. Along the way, he meets the Gray Man, a hit man who is tasked with finding…

Possibly the best of the four novels in the Raven Cycle, The Dream Thieves is primarily a novel to put pieces in position for the next two books, so Stiefvater allows herself to move the focus off of Gansey's quest for Glendower to explore…

Maggie Stiefvater never disappoints. This book was just as good as the first in the series and I cannot wait for more! So well-crafted and completely engrossing.

I love all the fantasy aspects of this series that are mixed with mythology. The characters are some of my favourite that I've ever read

The second book in the Raven Cycle, the Dream Thieves chronicles the continuing journey of Blue, Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah to find the tomb of Glendower. Adam has sacrificed himself to Cabeswater to prevent Whelk from gaining control…

This book really didn't resonate with me, and I have several theories why. I have discovered that Maggie Stiefvater, though a beautiful writer, pens novels that are mainly character-driven. Her characters are deep, and flawed, and…

The Dream Thieves was a perfect sequel and, in my opinion, even better than the Raven Boys. Despite his surly attitude, Ronan was at the top of my list of favourite characters in the first book and I loved how the readers got to discover…

4 Stars - I recommend if you enjoy YA fantasy and have read the first book. This book picks up where the first one left off. The search for Glendower continues. I never like to give spoilers about series, so I won't say too much...…

While sitting next to the young science fiction section of the library I picked up this book although I rarely read sci fi or young reader's books. Surprising concepts, good writing, interesting names and emotions. While 'not getting' the…

Alright, I'm gonna say it: this series is kinda cheesy. That, and the world it takes place in is pretty flimsy. The plot in this series so far is pretty confusing and isn't clicking with me the way I hoped it would. Coming from The Raven…

I read this months after the first book when I ran out of things to read. Unlike most sequels, this not only is a worthy companion of the first book, it's actually far better. If you were REMOTELY interested in the first book, give it…

I'm not sure what was different about this book than others I read, but I felt as if I were literally on the adventures with Blue and the gang. I felt myself living in the moments with them as they travel to Cabeswater, practically felt…

I liked this book. I enjoyed seeing the world from Ronan's point of view. My favorite part of the book was when they visited his family home.

Maybe it's because I'm bias and I love Ronan Lynch, but this book was great and the character development in the book was beautiful to read.

It has been awhile since I read a book. And this was the best start to my summer reading. I look forward to reading the series.

Fantastic! I lovelovelove Ronan. The writing has some good elements of Terry Pratchett, Dorothy Dunnett, Neil Gaiman, SE Hinton, and the plot is insane in a good way. You must read Book One first. Kisses to whoever pencilled in…

I finally picked up the second book in this series over a year after having read the first one and I was pleased with how easily I was able to pick up all the various plot threads. This book has a lot of different plot lines going on but…

I definitely enjoyed this just as much as the first one. There were a lot of great moments that took place, which pretty much excused the flaws I had with it. I really liked how it was focused more on Ronan (my favorite raven boy) than any…

As much as I do like Stiefvater's style, there seemed to be a severe disconnect between this book and the rest of the series. This is largely due the Dream Thieves focus on Ronan. While the other books are very much ensemble pieces, it's…

The first book was slow starting off and then got more interesting.. The second book wads very "busy" and more confusing.. Now I am waiting for book 3.
