Summary (from good reads): If you could steal things from dreams, what would you take?
Ronan Lynch has secrets. Some he keeps from others. Some he keeps from himself.
One secret: Ronan can bring things out of his dreams.
And sometimes he's not the only one who wants those things.
Ronan is one of the raven boys—a group of friends, practically brothers, searching for a dead king named Glendower, who they think is hidden somewhere in the hills by their elite private school, Aglionby Academy. The path to Glendower has long lived as an undercurrent beneath town. But now, like Ronan's secrets, it is beginning to rise to the surface—changing everything in its wake.

This book is the first sequel to the Raven Cycle series by the whimsical Maggie Stiefvater and it mostly focuses on Ronan, the 'bad boy' of the group and the drama between him and his family. I loved Ronan's characters in this series because we get to realize that he is a complex character with a ability we never really seen before (or at least I haven't) in books. I loved how snarky he can be towards Gansey and how independent he can be. It showed that he can pull off the anti-hero status, which I have a feeling that might be the case when they continue their search for the Raven King. Plus his talent, my word that is an amazing talent right? Adam is one of my favorites (shipping him and Rowan together..), he's so stubborn but is completely loyal like Gansey and everyone else in the group of friends.
I also enjoyed the different subplots in this book as well. We got to see the characters grow a little more and get to see Adam finally changing his life for the better and Blue coming more out of her shell and into a strong character. She's one of the top three favorites of mine for this series along with Rowan and Gansey. Speaking of their 'leader, Gansey is so sweet in this book. He's so curious and helpful and it kills me every time when people just treat him like garbage.
This book brought out a woven to Ronan's past, learning about his brothers and seeing how they might fit with everything in the next book. Especially with their special powers, it makes me want to see it first hand and maybe hint Ronan on grabbing a few things for me haha. Overall, I really need to read the next book because this series is fantastic with the wordsmith and lively characters that continue to steal my heart even to this day. What is your opinion on the Raven Boy Series? Let me know in the comments below and I'll be back soon with another book review. Happy howling! :)
