Customer Reviews
i reread every summer
This book like fundamentally shaped my adolescent brain in ways I cannot even begin to describe lol. I read this book for the first time when I was 15 and fell completely in love with Steifvater’s writing, the characters and the magic of this series. The second installment will always be my favorite though. Ronan Lynch and Joseph Kavinsky’s stories and duality will never not fascinate me. While the story is lacking in some places and feels like it just exists just for the sake that the characters interact, i’m able to suspend my disbelief and go along for the ride because the characters are so compelling.
stiefvater is a true magician
deeply harrowing, mystically entrancing, and incredibly well-written, The Dream Thieves may be more violent and mature than its predecessor, but with good reason; it’s Ronan Lynch’s tale, and Ronan Lynch is a far darker soul than any of the other characters herein.
Enthralling
The dynamics between the characters and their own personal development create an enrapturing environment and an impossible to put down read. Personalities and character faults are brought to light, Adam Parrish with his pride and behavior towards those who love and wish to care for him a prime example. Hope is restored in others with Ronan’s desperate endeavors to please Gansey and his younger brother. And new dynamics are revealed, Kavinsky’s spicy relationship with Ronan and Blue and Gansey’s developing crush on the other. All these aspects and more come together to be Maggie Stiefvater’s beautiful second story, a must read.
