unicorn1408's review against another edition
5.0
The book follows the Lynch brothers, that we are already familiar with from The Raven Cycle, and some other characters introduced in this book. There are dreamers (people who can take stuff out of their dreams) and those who hunt dreamers. There are people who have a talent of finding dreamers, a market for unusual items and an amazing painter on the wrong side of the law.
It has a darker atmosphere than The Raven Cycle. And the characters, especially Ronan, have matured quite a bit(But don't worry, he's the same bold Gryffindor at heart that jumps to reckless actions and would do anything for his loved ones). Also, prepare to absolutely fall in love with Declan Lynch.
There aren't any especially action-packed scenes, but the beauty of the story resides more in the magic atmosphere that surrounds everyone and the characters and the relationships they build during the events. Each character has their unique voice and you feel the joy and sadness of each of them. Ronan is trying to have a normal life and is failing miserably at it, not quite suited for the ordinary. Declan has been living the most boring life possible for years, but a more rebellious side of him begins to emerge. Jordan wants to be her own person, Hennessy discovers a love for life she didn't realize still existed within her. And Carmen leaves behind her quiet and peaceful life as she becomes more entangled in a much greater plot. The end result of all this is beautiful. And I especially adored that the characters raised the questions I myself wondered about when reading the Raven Cycle concerning some biological issues of a certain character (more than this would be a spoiler for Blue Lily, Lily Blue)
If this has sparked your interest, please pick it up! (But after you read the Raven Cycle!!!!)

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I don't know. The last 100 pages were really good but the beginning was to slow to make me like the book. I'm still doubting if i want to read the next book.
