The Dream Thieves

I think I'm falling in love with Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Cycle series. The Dream Thieves is book 2 in this series and it takes off from where the first left off. Blue, self-proclaimed anti-psychic, lives in a world of magic. Where she and her friends from an all boy school are on the hunt for the grave of a long lost king.

In this second tome, the book focuses on Ronan, the self-destructive one of the bunch, and the shy but changed Adam. The two boys are growing into their powers and seem to be tied to the Cabeswater area. They learn how to use their powers for good (and some bad) and in the end, they grow stronger in their abilities to help the group.

Like I said, I love this series. Stiefvater's language is magic and so is the world of Henrietta. I love that this story combines a hero's journey with tarot and magic. As a tarot reader, it pleases me to see the cards used correctly. It's also fun to sneak peeks into Blue's family house and watch their banter together.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that it's going to be a bit of a wait for the next book.

Bottom line: if you love stories filled with magic, hope, tarot, and adventure buy this book.
