A Slow Easy Ride That Should Have Had More Thrills

The Dream Thieves - Maggie Stiefvater

I love this author. She writes in a way I find soothing and calming, with some spurts of excitement. The tone of the book is like a slow cool stream flowing down into a mist covered pond. I enjoy that I do, but there needed to be some rapids to break the mellow. I never felt the rapid heartbeat just one more page desire, I just slowly continued till it was done. The story climax points just didn't have the burst I needed to make it a five star read.
I missed the intensity of book 1.
There was a very light cliffhanger ending which I appreciate. I hate to be left hanging out there bruised and battered for a year or more. I will happily wait for the next book in the series.
