WIAR: The Dream Thieves (Raven Boys 2) - SPOILERS

SPOILERS

I'm a little over halfway through. Over all I'm enjoying this one a lot more than the first one - which is really odd for me. I usually hate second books.  

I think it's because it's more action based - TRB seemed to be mostly setup now that I'm more into the story. I'm also really liking getting into Ronan's head and some of his backstory. I love his relationship with his little brother and find him so interesting. 

So the ley line has just woken back up - Adam and Gansey are at the party and just looked across at each other "This is how we find Glendower." I'm a little confused as to what happened right there - but knowing Maggie Steifvater - that's exactly how she wants me to be....

Also - I'm really not sure how I feel about Blue making out with Noah.

    Lol! I agree about the feels - one who will never and one who can never... But at the same time... She likes Adam, no, she likes Gansey, no she likes Adam, no she likes Gansey. Oh now I guess she's going to make out with Noah. 

    lol - it's too much!

    I personally think Blue needs to just make out with all the Raven boys and pick from there :)

  • At first I couldn't handle the Blue and Noah make out and then I really loved it.  It was too much for me to handle when it happened and I just love Gansey so much.  

    I also love how Maggie leaves so many gems throughout the series and then finding them when you go back for a re-read.

  • I just finished the book.  For me, this whole book was one giant "WTF?"  It didn't seem to line up with Book 1 at all.  With that being said, I'm on the waiting list for Book 3.  I hope I get it soon so I can maybe figure out what the hell is going on!  lol!

    I know what you're saying. This kiss with Noah was sweet, but also gave me some weirdness. 

    Edited because the part below might be spoilery if you haven't read It by Stephen King. 






    That part made me think a little too much about a certain Bev and the boys sewer scene toward the end of It.

  • I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. 

    I liked Blue making out with Noah. Both of them deserve a little action.

    I can't wait until you get to the endddddd. 

    I LOVE RONAN. The end.

    I think this is the part that bothers me most. Who's to say that one of the boys is really her true love? What if she doesn't meet her true love until she's 30?

    Well, Neeve told her that this would be the year she would meet her true love. Then she meets this new group of boys. So there's that.

    But also...she just doesn't know! Any person you meet could end up being your true love! You never know! And there's the wording of the prediction (which comes up at some point)...will her true love die WHEN she kisses him? Or BECAUSE she kisses him? Or just...EVENTUALLY? Who knows?!

  • I think I missed that part, YL.  I always wonder if they lied to her with that prediction just so she wouldn't date.

  • I also thought that was part of why Blue could see Gansey on the corpse road that night. Because he was her true love or because she kills him. I always tied those two together because they said she would kill her true love if she kissed him, but maybe he isn't her true love and she just kills him. Morbid thoughts on a Wednesday night.

    My thought, too. On the Gansey Thing. 

    Also Neeve was a crazy beyotch full of LIES! Lol. Maybe not the lies - but she was crazy.

    I can't read anything that could possibly be construed as negative about them or I have anxiety.

    I was gushing over them on NYE at a friend's house.  Someone brought up YA books and I got so excited.  I sounded so dumb: "It's about these private school boys and this girl and her family is full of PSYCHICS and there is MAGIC AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!" I doubt I sold anyone on reading this series.

    I don't even try, outside of like 1 or 2 people that I know will love them and HAVE TO LOVE THEM to validate my existence in life (ahem, @MrsJenE), because if they hate them I don't think they can be my friends anymore.

    SHUT UP I'M NOT BEING DRAMATIC.
