I meant to get this one up before the book was released but stuff got crazy on my end. Day of is not too bad I think, anyhow . . .The Dream Thieves opens by discussing the three types of secrets there are in the world; the kind where someone knows the secret and someone has the knowledge kept from them, the secret tha
t you keep even from yourself, and the secret that no one (alive) remembers or knows. Ronan Lynch has a secret, he actually lives with all three. This book focuses more on the story of Ronan and of his brothers. We get to see what makes him, proverbially, tick.
The search for Glendower is still afoot but has become more complicated with the awakening of the ley line at the end of The Raven Boys. Adam has been slowly becoming stranger and stranger, Gansey is still obsessed with finding the final resting place of the king, and we learn about Ronan's very very big secret. All three of these storylines are brought together by a man dressed all in gray at 300 Fox Way.
This sequel in no way disappoints. The shift in focus of main character is very refreshing and helps the reader to become sympathetic to Ronan, an otherwise mysterious and marginally unlikable character. If you liked any of Maggie Stiefvater's other works you need to read this book (prefereably after reading The Raven Boys).
