The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, Book 2)
The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, Book 2) | Maggie Stiefvater
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 hes 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 Ronans secrets, it is beginning to rise to the surface changing everything in its wake. Of THE RAVEN BOYS, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY wrote, Maggie Stiefvaters cant-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. Praise for THE DREAM THIEVES: * "Richly written and filled with figurative language...this story of secrets and dreams, of brothers and of all-too-real magic is an absolute marvel of imagination and an irresistible invitation to wonder." --BOOKLIST, starred review * "Mind-blowingly spectacular... Stiefvater's careful exploration of class and wealth and their limitations and opportunities astounds with its sensitivity and sophistication. The pace is electric, the prose marvelously sure-footed and strong, but it's the complicated characters...that meld magic and reality into an engrossing, believable whole." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review * "A paranormal thriller...this installment [is] more tense and foreboding than its predecessorand every bit as gripping." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review * "A complex web of magical intrigue and heartstopping action." -- THE BULLETIN, starred review * "Readers who want a moody chill and appreciate an atmospheric turn of phrase will want to spread more time in Henrietta." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review

Read early this month. I re-read this book to clarify some points in order to complete the series. Still interesting but I think that sometimes there are unnecessary details. Like it but not love it. 3.5/3.8 ⭐️

Characters were pretty awesome but not so many of them got many pages. This was mainly a book about Ronan and it was interesting to learn more about his past but I would have loved to see more others as well.

I really loved the atmosphere and writing, this was mysterious and partly a bit creepy. There were also scary moments.

I loved the beginning but at some point this dragged and overall not so much happened.

Hey @Laughterhp - Here are the books that washed up on the beach for you this month!! I really enjoyed the tagged book and also The Girl With All the Gifts. I've read another Mackintosh book and thought it was really good - this one is still on my TBR 😂 And the other two just because they seemed like contrast for the others!! Happy reading!!

Thanks for hosting the #TrappedonanIsland challenge @aperfectmjk !!!

Laughterhp Oh I read the Dream Thieves last month! I should probably clean up my list and remove the books I‘ve read! Thanks for the other picks! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Laughterhp - Just let me know if you need a new fifth book!! I'm trying to automatically (ish) keep my list updated by making it so that a book can't be on both my TrappedonanIsland shelf and my Read shelf... but it doesn't always seem to work! 😂 2y

TheAromaofBooks @persephone1408 - I really enjoyed them as well - and very soon the final book in the spinoff trilogy is coming out as well!!! 2y
persephone1408 @TheAromaofBooks I didn't know there was a spinoff trilogy...tell me more.😊 2y
TheAromaofBooks @persephone1408 - It starts with Call Down the Hawk and focuses on Ronan and his brothers, so a lot more on the dream-aspect of that world. It isn't exactly where I would have taken the series (I really wanted more Blue haha) but still has been a really engaging storyline and I'm stoked to read the finale!! 2y
persephone1408 @TheAromaofBooks I do love Ronan💜 I'm gonna have to check it out. 2y

Second book in this series. We are going to know more about some characters specifically about Ronan. There are some funny parts between Noah and Blue and Gansey and Blue and Maura and The Gray Man. That Calla can be so direct, no filter when she speaks😂and there are other situations regarding of what Gansey is looking for. However, an unpopular opinion, I found some repetitive parts with this character Kavinsky and the cars🙄3.5/3.8⭐️

This time, it was more of a thought than a feeling, a soft heat that began at her mouth and unfurled through the rest of her. One of his cold hands slid behind her neck and he kissed her again, lips parted. It was not just a touch, an action. It was a simplification of both of them: They were no longer Noah Czerny and Blue Sargent. They were now just him and her. Not even that. They were only the time that they held between them.

Finished #2 in The Raven Boys series by Maggie Stiefvater: The Dream Thieves. Wow! What a ride! Even though my daughter has a pristine, autographed copy of this book (or maybe that‘s part of it) I listened to it on audiobook. The narrator was amazingly perfect for this book and made the fantastical parts even more thrilling.

I continue to enjoy Stiefvater\'s writing and I like the characters and want to know where they\'re headed. At the same time, the pacing was super slow and I got very frustrated. I want to read the next one, but at the same time I\'m not ready to rush into it.

Look, when I say I struggled with “The Raven Boys”, I mean I STRUGGLED with The Raven Boys. The writing style did my head in! However, with this one it all finally clicked. I am officially Maggie Stiefvater TRASH. I can‘t wait to dive into Blue Lily, Lily Blue! As Kevin McCallister from Home Alone proposed, “Thirsty for more?” Yes, yes I am. *Raises Kindle like Thor with his drinking horn* “This book, I like it! Give me ANOTHER!!”

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I didn‘t like The Raven Boys at all. I know, I know a ton of people love it. I wrote this series off back in 2017. Well, fast forward to now, 2021, I was scrolling through Libby and decided why not? So, here I am writing a review for this and can say I liked it. I liked the characters and I was really intrigued with the Gray Man.

Wow okay I seriously can't believe I am just now reading this series! I am genuinely loving these books - the concept, the characters, the setting, the dialogue - everything! Even things that aren't my usual cup of tea work here. I especially love how Stiefvater writes people who feel like people - boys, girls, men, women, students, professors, hit men, ghosts - she has a knack for making her characters feel personable that I really appreciate.

Andrew65 Brilliant 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂🍾🥂🎉🥳😊 Thanks for playing long. Sounds great series. 3y

It was a good reading month! But still no bingo. 😂

The tagged book was my #BookSpin. A reread for me & my favorite in the series. I adore Ronan! ❤️🖤❤️

My #DoubleSpin was Great Goddesses by Nikita Gill. I love her poetry & enjoyed her new take on the Greek pantheon.

@TheAromaofBooks

Second in the "Raven Boys" series, featuring a group of supernaturally-powered adolescents who go looking for the burial site of a 14th-century Welsh king in Virginia. It's fine, though they seem to spend a lot of time not working on their quest. Still, it's engaging enough for me to continue. Cover design is pretty great, yeah?

This second book in “The Raven Cycle” series is even more bracing than the first. Stiefvater reveals her true talents by adjusting her writing style based on the character from whose point of view she writes. Her style is dizzying, straightforward, creative, and simple all at once. Truly a worthwhile read.

My appetite‘s still all over the place. Come suppertime, that meant I nixed my plan to make red curry with tofu and broccoli in favour of some spicy Kraft Dinner. I probably would‘ve done better to eat nothing at all. Oh well.

I finished THE DREAM THIEVES while I made it. I‘m enjoying this immediate series reread, but I definitely won‘t repeat it. From now on, I‘m going back to one reread per year, max, on all faves. #audiocooking

Bklover Kraft Dinner is magical food not to be scoffed at! My mom always called it Kraft Dinner too- I called it Mac n Cheese. Either way, there is something (maybe the chemicals) magically delicious about it!😋 4y
umbrellagirl I‘m craving this right now! 4y
Megabooks What‘s in this spicy kraft dinner? Inquiring American wants to know? 4y

xicanti @Bklover is your mom Canadian? That‘s what we always call it here, even when we eat the generic stuff. My Minnesotan family always wants to get some when they visit just for the novelty of the different name on the box! 4y
xicanti @umbrellagirl give in! Eat some! 4y
xicanti @Megabooks it‘s pure magic: a cheese powder closer to sharp cheddar than the regular blend, with a bit of cayenne in it. I‘ve done extensive research and determined it‘s by far the best Kraft Dinner on the market. Way better than regular. 4y
Megabooks @xicanti that sounds magical!! My gf powdered one (not kraft) has a little more kick than I remember kraft having, but I‘ve had celiac for 4 years now, so I don‘t totally remember the normal American one. It probably has sugar. 😂 I watched a documentary that said Canadian equivalents of American foods often don‘t have sugar or as much sugar. Ugh. America!! 😩😩🙄 4y
Bklover My mom was from Pennsylvania and as a kid I remember the box said Kraft Dinner way back in the 60‘s. I‘m 60 years old and sometime between then and now it changed to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner. Dinner is in tiny letters. Either way it is magical. 🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡 4y
xicanti @Megabooks I checked my Canadian package, and I couldn‘t find any obvious sugars in the ingredients list. Something in there must be a hidden sugar, though, because the nutritional info says there‘s 4g per serving. 4y

I‘ve been sick since Boxing Day, which is all kinds of frustrating, but today I managed to do something with all the egg whites left over from my lemon sour cream pies. I had half again as many as I usually use for coffee meringues, so I ran out of room on my baking sheet and had to do a couple smaller ones in a loaf pan. Those didn‘t turn out pretty enough to serve people, but they sure tasted good. #audiobaking
