Review of The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater. Book 2 of the Raven Boys.

Like the first book in the Raven Boys series, I couldn't put it down. Each chapter seemed to draw me deeper into the action, just as it did to Blue, Adam, Ronan, and Gansey. We learn a lot more about Cabeswater and leylines in this book, and lots more about each of the characters. New players become part of the drama, extending our knowledge of the original characters. It becomes evident that far from being psychic onlookers, each of the residents in Blue's home are deeply involved in the action and have hidden many things from Blue. Again, we are left hanging at the end of the book with several unanswered questions.  How long must we wait for the next installment???  Yes, we will purchase this second book of the series for the library. This is an excellent extension of the story line. I expect this book to fly off the shelves. Publication date is September 17, 2013
