This is the second of the series the Raven Cycle. In this
cycle, Gansey, who hunts for Glendower, now focuses on another one of the Raven
Boys, Ronan. Ronan is one of the Raven Boys, which is a group of friends, more
like brothers who are searching for a dead king by the name of Glendower. They believe
that Glendower is hidden somewhere near their school. Ronan Lynch has a special
power. He has the ability to bring objects back from his dreams. Unlike the
first cycle, the plot revolves around Ronan and Adam. Ronan deals with the manifestations
of night terrors, street racing in hotrod cars, drug driven, yet incredibly
insecure and Adam embraces his strength. Although a bit more on the fantastical
side than anything else, this novel covers an important theme: confronting
fears head on and coming to understand and accept our place in the grand scheme
of life.
Although this may not be my style, it is undoubtedly a well
written book and credit must be given where it is due, it is meticulously
written and the complex plot and compelling characters make it an extremely
interesting read. It is safe to say that this book targets mature teens who
enjoy modern day fantasy and who are not afraid to take their time written so
that the complex plots is revealed clearly to them.
