I want to read this one so bad. I..."

It honestly up to you! i can read it whenever your ready

[Felicia]

So I started. I read through chapter 3. And oh how I have missed these boys. :D I am only going to be reading a few chapters a day. But don't worry if you want to read faster than I do. Feel free. (:

[Felicia]

Read through chapter 6
(view spoiler)[I wasn't really interested in Ronan in the first book. He was like my least favorite of the Raven Boys. But I am finding I adore him and his snarky-ness in this book so far.

I can't wait until something crazy happens! Because I feel like it's bound to eventually. (hide spoiler)]

I finally started this book. I really missed these characters and the writing style (even reading it in Portuguese, I can see Maggie Stiefvater's different and beautiful writing style)! But it's been over a month since I've read The Raven Boys, so I forgot some details.

Not much has happened. Ok, some things have happened. Like Ronan taking objects out of dreams. That's pretty cool. And this assassin guy. But I can feel that things didn't REALLY started happening.

Let's see. I'm really excited about finishing this series. Let's see.

I agree. Ronan is in the cover, so I was curious about learning more about him. He's not my least favorite. I must say that I don't like Adam very much. He's so annoying sometimes and what he did at the end of the first book... made me like him even less. But it's not like I hate him. He's just my least favorite.

(view spoiler)[Yeah, what Adam did was kinda shitty. But I still think he is so adorable. And I know Blue is supposed to end up with Gansey but if she wasn't fated to be with Gansey I'd want her with Adam. They're so cute and innocent. (: (hide spoiler)]

Sounds good! :D

[Felicia]

Read through chapter 8.
(view spoiler)[I really don't know what's going on with The Gray Man. He's a weirdo. And he's searching for something that can make him do what Ronan does? I wonder if the boys have this object without knowing it?

Also, my poor little cinnamon roll Adam. I just love him dearly. His heartache is so relatable! ): (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Things are still a little bit confusing. All these objects coming from dreams... And the end of this chapter... Does this mean that Ronan's mother was dreamed too? I hope not. Maybe I didn't understand this correctly...

And Mr. Gray and Blue's mother... I had to laugh. It was really funny. I love how they see weird things like they are normal. (hide spoiler)]

Ok. Can we talk about Gansey trying not to look at Blue after she comes out from the lake? So cute!



And the date between Maura and Mr. Gray and her stealing his cellphone. XD I know he's an assassin, but I really like him! This book is really strange.

I'm here just to say that Blue finally admitted to herself that she likes Gansey and doesn't like Adam this way. It was so simple and beautiful! I love this book! And Ronan his dreaming with and thinking about Adam a lot. That last dream was... different. Is it possible that Ronan likes boys? That would be really cute. :)

Ok. A lot of things happened.

First I must say that Adam is being an ass. He finally said to Gansey everything that he was hiding so long ago and that's great, but the things he thinks... I don't want to be the person that doesn't understand all his hardships, but I think that what makes me mad is that we know that Gansey's intentions aren't bad. Gansey is a nice guy. The problem is that Adam thinks that everyone pities him and that he doesn't need anyone's help. So I understand what he feels but this doesn't change the fact that he was an ass.



And now let's talk about Ronan taking Gansey's car to run. That was SO stupid! Of course something would happen.



But then the monsters atacking him (bird mans? I don't how they're called in English, because I'm reading in Portuguese) and Kavinsky saving him was awesome. And then... the revelation! Kavinsky takes things from dreams too! And he says that you can dream whole worlds! OMGoood!

Wow! Everything is falling apart! And that's very nice! It makes the characters more believable. Things will change. A lot. The peace that they had is falling apart. Ronan is lost. Adam is lost. Gansey is feeling lost. Let's see what will happen.

There's no more Blue and Adam. Wow! This scene was amazing! Really beautifull! Again, Maggie Stiefvater's writing style is a piece of art!

And Ronan understanding about the dreams and being a dream thief, like in the title, was amazing as well.

And Mr. Gray doesn't wanting to kidnap the boys, and the scene with Maura... everything so beaitifully written! It's like I'm in a dream or reading póetry. Really beautiful!

This book was amazing! Adam rediscovering himself, Ronan rediscovering himself... The fight at the end, Mr. Gray winning and coming back... Simply perfect! And Ronan looking at Adam... OMG! That would be perfect. They are two beautiful broken things that could totally fix each other! I can feel that the next book will be amazing!

I'm loving this book since the first pages. So many things happened in the second one! Some things are still weird, specially between Adam and the others, but I'm feeling that a lot of things will happen in this book.

And let's just spend a minute talking about Blue and Gansey? They're trying not to do anything, because of the others, specially Adam, but I don't think that will last long. I can't wait for more moments between them.

(view spoiler)[ It’s really interesting. I have a hunch that each book is going to be based on a different boy like the first one was Gansey and then the second one is Ronald and so on. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished chapter 24
(view spoiler)[that chapter had me laughing! I loved how it was the girls who went swimming and not the boys. Where is Noah though?? I live the jealousy we get from blue at the end and Gansey biting back! (hide spoiler)]

I am 212 pages into this book it is very interesting so far I like all aspects of the story so far. I like the characters they are very interesting to read about. The plot is really interesting and well developed I like it so far.

(view spoiler)[Ronan bringing crazy shit back from his dreams! I was so worried when I read that Gansey had the claw in his chin! WTF!

Crazy!

And then they went to Ronan's house! I had to stop reading because my break was over. But I wanted to keep going! They're going inside the house! (hide spoiler)]

Now Adam knows that Gansey is the one that it's going to die. It's nice how in the other books you almost forget about that. Adam thinks it will be because of him. Blue probably thinks it will be because of her. What are they going to do? I hope he doesn't die... Will it be possible to ask Glendower to avoid that?

Gansey and Blue... so beautiful and so sad. And the end of a scene that started so well... I understand her frustration. It's not just that he's going to die or that she can't kiss him. It's everything. The fact that they are from different worlds, that maybe he'll have to leave (if he doesn't die first)... So sad...

(view spoiler)[This book is crazy! They kill one night terror and now another one is attacking Ronan while he is in the camaro! Gansey is going to kick his ass for messing up the camaro if this thing doens't kill Ronan. Lol.

I am so happy that Blue FINALLY admitted to herself that she has a crush on Gansey and not Adam. Although my poor cinnamon roll Adam deserves happiness! -.-

And I have absolutely grown to loveeeee Ronan. He is just so brutally honest that I love it.

AND! Blue and Noah kissed! How freaking cute! They would be so cute together if he wasn't dead! Poor Noah. I hope he gets to stick around at the end of the book. Maybe they'll find Glendower and use their favor to bring him back to life. Or somehow figure out a way to get him to stay there even though he is dead. (hide spoiler)]
