INITIAL IMPRESSIONS AND THOUGHTS: 
 Full Review to Post to: The My Precious Blog (www.thecallawayfam.blogspot.com) soon!!! 
 A totally spell bounding, multilayered & complex story, which focuses more on Ronan, without excluding the other characters. This book seemed to stray away from a romance focus aka Blue's kiss of death and move in the direction of where the last book left off - Ronan's bizarre ability to "remove" objects from his dreams. Finding the elusive Welsh King Glenodower moves to the back burner and to the forefront jumps the mystery surrounding Ronan's father's unexpected death. Dream Thieves is action packed with excitement. Here we have night terrors manifesting and murderous. The dynamics between Blue and the four Raven Boys change up. Her relationship with Adam and especially Gansey morphs into something different. Noah is still around, even though he's weaker than ever. New characters are introduced, Joseph Kavinsky, a substance addicted, car racing, living on the edge kid who is Ronan's nemesis. The Gray Man, who at first appears to be someone evil with only ill intentions. As the story progressed, my feelings towards this guy changed and by the end, I totally was confused as to which side he was on. He really seemed more good than bad, even though he committed some very inhumane acts. The pacing in this book seemed much faster, than in book one. It became a real race to the finish at the end, with lots of tension building. This one does end on what I'd consider to be a pretty wild cliffhanger. Ronan's story wraps up and feels somewhat completed, but the way this one ends its totally setting up for the next installment. I can't wait to see what's in store for me in the next installment. The first book for me was more of Blue's story (or maybe Adam's), this one definitely belonged to Ronan, Its really fun to try and guess who might be the next story's focus. Who do you think it will be about?
