There is danger in dreaming. But there
is even more danger in waking up.
Blue Sargent has found things. For the
first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can
belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems
have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.
The trick with found things though, is
how easily they can be lost.
Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.
This review contains spoilers regarding “The Dream Thieves” the 2nd
book of the Raven Cycle. You’ve been warned.
So, after being disappointed about how slow the last book was, I was
pleasantly surprised when I picked up Blue
Lily, Lily Blue, such a remarkable book, I cannot praise it enough. It had
everything I wanted, everything happened and I don’t know where to start.
Ok, first things first, the book starts few weeks after Blue’s mom goes
missing, them trying to understand where she went and the boys still looking
for Glendower. The story seriously picks up and many things start moving,
somehow it felt more mystical.
Adam’s sacrifice finally means something, he starts playing his part and even
though he appears to be more present in this book (more central) the book
doesn’t feel as static as the last one, the character development was on point.
We don’t get too much romance though, but to be totally honest, I don’t really
care you see I want to know about the king and what will happen when he wakes
up, I want to know whom is Blue’s father, I want to know what will Adam do when
he finally finds out Blue and Gansey fell for each other, many things I want to
know so the romance is not so important to me.
This series just got my whole
attention after being somehow disappointed with the second installment. And did
I mention the ending? It got me like:
