Did i dream this book? Was it real? Because it was so damn good that I was not willing to put to down. Ronan Lynch. Need I say more?

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This second book in the Raven Boys series has a different rhythm than the first. It's focused much more on Ronan, and we learn about his ability to "steal" things from his dreams (hence the title), bringing them back into the waking world. He got this gift from his father, but he's not the only one in town who has the ability: a schoolmate, Kavinsky, is able to do the same thing, to darker purposes. The storyline involving Gansey, Blue, Adam, and Noah and the quest for Glendower progresses minimally... the emphasis here is really on what Ronan's abilities are going to bring to the table in the final installment. A worthy second installment... looking forward to the next one. Stiefvater's writing style is just beautiful.

jobban tetszett, mint az első rész, de a könyv kb. 40%-áig megint nehezen haladtam. Ronan szemszögét imádtam, Adamet kezdtem valamennyire megkedvelni, nem nagyon még, csak egy kicsit. Noah itt a második kedvenc karakteremmé vált, és bírtam Persephone részeit, bár az zavart, hogy a nagy hajából meg a kicsi hangjából állt a személyiségének a nagy része. Mr. Gray megjelenése kellemes volt, az ő karakterét is bírtam, ahogyan Kavinsky és Ronan dinamikáját is. azt mondjuk viszonylag hamar kitaláltam, hogy mi K, de a könyv második fele már amúgy is teljesen beszippantott, nagyon elkapott a hangulata, az események pörögtek. itt is az volt amúgy a gondom, hogy ott volt az az első 40%. most már lehet másabb lenne, ha újraolvasnám, de az a baj, hogy két könyvvel később sem fognak hiányozni Blue meg Gansey..

Made me feel things I haven’t felt in ages. And made me think about things I would rather forget. I loved it. Easier to get into than the first one by nature of like, not having to introduce everything. I will be starting to next one like, straight away.
