The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0

Another wonderful buddy read with Leonnie.
This is the second book in the Raven Boys series and this on focuses more on Ronan and his abilities to take things from his dreams I to the real world and how that plays in part in the bigger picture of the series.
I’m starting to get a sense for Maggie’s writing style now, and in typical Maggie style this book at first kept giving me more and more questions but with no answers. However, boy was I HOOKED. I was desperately wanting to know the answers and trying to work them out myself. Did I get any of them right? One or two. But some were so far off and the story was all the better for it.
As with the first book, the descriptive language and world building skills that Maggie uses are truly brilliant. She really enables you to imagine the exact place or person or item that she is describing.
This book focuses more on Ronan and I loved getting to know his character. So much so that I got my very talented friend to create an illustration of him because I could not get him out of my head. You really got to see the depths to him and the different layers of his personality and I loved getting to know him as the book went on.
However there was a few characters that I don’t think were done as much justice as Ronan and I am still yet to see how I feel about them as the series goes on because there are certain characters at the moment that just annoy me
