The Dream Thieves picks up where book one {The Raven Boys} concluded, with Ronan confessing to his friends that he is able to pull things from his dreams, Chainsaw being one of them.

Ronan may be rich like most of the boys at Aglionby Academy, but without his family, he is lost. Ronan is short tempered, brazen, angry, and is struggling with what he can do and more importantly what he is.

As we learned in The Raven Boys, Adam already feels inferior because of his family and his poverty. He is also not dealing with it very well. He is so busy trying to prove his worth and learn his place that he is letting things slip away. Even his relationship with his friends and Blue.

This series is rather unique since there is not just one or two main characters, but five. All five are part of the journey, however, this book spends a bit more time on Ronan and Adam and their struggles.

I really love this series. Maggie Stiefvater's writing is amazingly addictive! Her characters are easily liked with their complex personalities and their defining struggles. I definitely recommend reading book one, The Raven Boys. There are a lot of people included in the various plots, and The Raven Boys will fill in all the gaps and confusion that the reader may face if choosing not to read it.
