The Dream Thieves is book two in The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. I recently reread The Raven Boys to prepare for this, and I think I liked book two better than book one!
This is widely known as "the Ronan book," because we finally get Ronan's perspective and learn more about our broody boy with a bird. We get to learn more about Ronan's dreams and what happened to his father. We also finally meet the third Lynch brother, Matthew.
At the same time we are learning more about Ronan (who has some major revelations BTW), we see what is going on with Adam, who has become more insufferable since his sacrifice. We see his friendship with Gansey has clearly splintered as has his relationship with Blue, who is trying not to fall in love with Gansey.
So much happens in this book! Not to mention Kavinsky and the Gray Man. I can't even say too much about it without spoilers, and I've probably already said too much. We also get another glimpse of how many women live at 300 Fox Way. In typical Steifvater fashion, we end on a cliffhanger.
So excited to get to the rest of the series!

Minor: Fatphobia
In regards to the fatphobia I just felt that there was another unnecessary comment about weight. Maybe I'm being oversensitive but it's not relevant to the character or story and after the comment in book 1 I was on the look out 'it was becoming more obvious as she swiveled that she was not the thinnest woman on the planet but she had stomach muscles like woah'li_reading's review against another edition
