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!

Another downfall is that I simply do not enjoy Gray Man pov.
