Gr 8 Up–Stiefvater, author of “The Raven Cycle” series and Call Down the Hawk, continues the “Dreamer” trilogy with this twisty, engrossing, and lyrical second volume. The Dreamers’s abilities seem to be weakening as the ley lines lose power. If too much is lost, the protagonists will eventually die. Their mission is to save the world any way they can regardless of the cost to their ability to continue to dream and, even, survive. The conclusion reveals an ominous portent of worse things to come, ensuring a third book is in the works. As challenging as it will be to follow the plot’s twists and turns, this sequel will mesmerize fans.
VERDICT Purchase where fast-paced and intricate fantasies are popular—especially where Stiefvater’s previous books fly off the shelves.
