The Raven Cycle: The Graphic Novels #2
The Dream Thieves: The Graphic Novel
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A stunning graphic novel adaptation of the second book in Maggie Stiefvater’s #1 New York Times bestselling series The Raven Cycle!
Ronan Lynch is made of secrets. His longest kept one? He can pull impossible things out of dreams. It's a secret that's nearly killed him more than once.
Waking the ley line should have led Blue and the Raven Boys straight to Glendower, the Whelsh king rumored to be sleeping beneath the mountains of Henrietta.
But instead, the forest of Cabeswater has disappeared, energy hums and sputters beneath the town, and the Raven Boys' search is at a dead end. Ronan's dreams may be the key to finding Glendower, but none of the Raven Boys are prepared for what will be unleashed in Ronan's desperate attempt to finally control his power.
Reimagined as a stunning full-color graphic novel adapted and illustrated by Sas Milledge, The Dream Thieves blurs the line between reality and nightmare until they are one and the same.

It is in bad taste to rate your own book five stars
WHEN YOU WANT TO RATE IT ONE THOUSAND STARS!?
we're back, kids, with the graphic novel adaptation of The Dream Thieves, coming next August. Book 2 is so much more insane than book 1, and I promise Sas brought the insanity in the art.
You can pre-order signed copies from Parnassas Books (more details on swag later). Let's goooooo

"There are three kinds of secrets. Ronan Lynch lived with every one."So, let me start off with - I am a huge fan of the Raven Boys (novel) and as you can see from my rating, not a big fan of the graphic novel adaption.
Ultimately, my takeaway for the second of (presumably) four graphic novel versions of the series is...*drum roll* disappointed.
I think one of my major issues with this book is that you HAVE to read the original source material and have it fresh in your mind in order to understand what's happening in the graphic novel version.
I mean, I suppose, you don't HAVE to (I'm not your mom, do what you want) but the reading experience is VASTLY enhanced if you have a baseline of what the story is supposed to be - cause gosh dang. I've read this series at least 3x cover-to-cover but it's been a few years since I've read the Dream Thieves, and I kept getting completely turned around.
Furthermore, the original series is really heavy on character development and plot - which isn't a bad thing. It's one of my all-time favorite plots of the freaking world of books.
And the insistence at condensing a beautifully written 440 page book into a 288 page graphic novel... ugh. Things get cut. Often.
Some of the most pivotal scenes, the essential nuances of the story, the sheer essence of the story - its gone.
Adam's rent being covered, Ronan's pining and struggles with faith, the Gansey family pulling together for Adam, Gansey realizing how important Blue is through all of their interactions...I could go on.
Essentially, I am not saying I wanted a 1:1 interpretation of the original BUT I think the are cramming far too much into a single graphic novel.
Moving along, I will say - the scenery is gorgeous in this book.
The artist was working overtime with the beautiful images on the page...but (again) I feel disappointed by the interpretation of the characters.
I fully understand this might be a "me" problem but in my defense, I've been absolutely spoiled by the fanart.
Seriously, a quick google of any of these characters brings up pages and pages of fanart - and what's really cool is how consistent it is. You can tell Ronan from Adam from Gansey despite the myriad of art styles and interpretation.
You throw me any fanart and I'm picking out the characters immediately.
You show me a group shot of the graphic novel's version and I'm guessing based on proximity and context clues. Seriously. Why does Noah and Matthew look like they're twins?
What I'm trying to say - the community had a vibe for what we all collectively imagined these characters as...and the book goes very...left-field.
Ultimately, it is so disappointing when one of your all time favorite series gets messed up in the graphic novel adaptation...

This was a definitely a better adaptation than the first installment! Easier to follow, a clear conflict to overcome, and left out unnecessary scenes. Unfortunately also left out character connections and the subtle relationship dynamics that make the original series so strong. Lovely art to flip through regardless.

WHERE IS GANSEY ON FIRE?
DREAM ME THE WORLD???????????
I WISH YOU COULD BE KISSED???
where is kavinsky’s house?? where is blue and gansey’s nighttime drive…. their phone calls?? gansey’s interception of adam’s long walk, the tricolored car? the other people hunting the greywaren??? ADAM’S RENT? matthew and ronan at the barns… the malory pigeon phone call..?
(comparably small detail to the rest of these but a personal bias… adam eating ronan’s tattoo… i just selfishly wanted that dream sequence visual)
condensed to the point of near incomprehensibility. love love love this series and the passion poured into these graphic novels, and im grateful that they exist!! i will buy every one! but it’s becoming clear that the heart of the story lies in its original book format.
beautiful art, as expected, and i loved how a certain few scenes were illustrated- the imagery of adam’s visions comes to mind immediately (loved the ancient processions!) and the barns. fox way looks great, the paneling of ronan’s second secret…. and noah and blue’s scene at monmouth ❤️🩹 lovely! the art invokes all the feeling, where the characters and the story stall and scramble. i think these graphic novels serve as a treat for those already familiar with the story rather than something to go into blind. it just feels like sequencing- things are happening, im along for the ride, but the condensed nature leaves very very little time for the small moments and details that string it all together and make it feel meaningful. the things i listed weren’t even small details, they were huge ones imo, and even they didn’t make the cut. i get it! i was expecting it- maybe just not to this extent.
i guess maybe it felt super ronan centric (in its own attempted, shortened way)- cutting out a lot of gansey and blue’s important romantic developments, which surprised me. but how you can have a ronan story without “dream me the world”is beyond me. i am realllyyy hoping blue and gansey’s drive is included in the next book!
all in all, excited for the visuals of bllb, but yearning for all the yearning omitted from this version of the dream thieves.

this only got a high rating because I'm completely obsessed with the art and my favourite characters, but in reality, the amount being removed from this story is really upsetting. bluesy scenes? GONE. my favourite quote? GONE. adam's rent? GONE.

Nothing but respect and admiration for the artists and colorists who worked on this project, and the previous installment; the character designs and backdrops are beautifully rendered and capture the aesthetics of the series perfectly. However, the changes made to this novel’s graphic adaptation are…baffling, to say the least, and I say this with recognition of the difficulties inherent in adapting a 460-something page book to graphic novel form.
The changes made to the timeline of events, here, don’t really make sense, and I would argue actually make the book suffer by condensing big moments into little ones and also trivializing character arcs and development. Details that really, really do matter are also absent - there’s no Ronan paying Adam’s rent, for example, or there’s no Ronan and Gansey at K’s substance party. The graphic novel starts with the Gangsey discovering Cabeswater’s disappearance, so you automatically lose all that buildup, but you also lose everything following it that tells you so much about the characters - the Pig breaking down, Gansey calling Declan, Ronan and Adam in the backseat, etc. The infamous boat scene comes out of order, and Adam and Gansey don’t actually go to DC - instead, Mrs. Gansey holds some sort of fundraiser at Aglionby and Adam’s amnesia episode isn’t really there. The rent plotline is replaced with an entrance fee to Mrs. Gansey’s fundraiser of $1300, except Gansey immediately waives it, because Adam is a friend of the family, which is not at all equivalent to the tuition raise/rent bit in the book.
Overall, all sense of how deeply these characters care for one another is lost here, which, in my opinion, completely shoots the whole project in the foot - so much of the allure of TRC is found in its intimacy and found family trope.

don't get me wrong, i LOVE that these graphic novels exist and it's such a joy to see my favourite story come to life like that!! the artwork goes beyond my wildest dreams (ha). i also understand that you have to make cuts when you adapt a 400+ page book into a graphic novel. but this time there were just too many details/scenes missing or changed that imo are incredibly crucial to the characters and their intricate dynamics. these characters and how much they care about each other are the heart and soul of this story. their relationships and they themselves are all so incredibly nuanced and if you take away even small parts of that nuance, it just doesn't work the same way. there's so much meaning in every line of prose, in every conversation, in everything said and unsaid. if you leave out even the silences, things will get lost. maybe this just proves that to some degree, these books will always be unadaptable, no matter the medium?
although i gotta say some of the things missing are FAR from small: where's the stuff with adam's rent, or his lost time? where's gansey almost losing his mind with worry when adam goes missing? where's the tri-colored car? why was prokopenko seemingly replaced with henry cheng (at least i think it's supposed to be henry? i could be wrong, but then why choose the same last name)?? where are the phone calls between blue and gansey?? where's "dream me the world"???? where the fuck is THE DRIVE?????? anyways, i'm still beyond happy that we get this visualization, but i cannot stress enough how the graphic novels do not replace the magic of the books, so PLEASE only read these if you 've already read the books i beg you

honestly giving 5 stars for pure love of the game but in reality the amount being removed from this story is realllyyyyyyy depressing!!!! i understand why they are being condensed but with how much the little moments matter to the story / over arching development of the characters and their relationships, a lot is being missed out on. some of my favorite moments, gone! i need raven king to be either two releases or at minimum double the length, but with all the missing pieces it may not even have a strong enough leg to stand on when we get there…. :( all love to the artists though, even if they made my boy ugly

Beautiful gorgeous art but…..yikes…. many of my favorite scenes and quotes are omitted and some (admittedly small but) weird story changes ultimately made it lose the magic and the intricacies of the story💔💔💔💔

went in with No expectations this time around since trb disappointed me so much but GODDDD!!! somehow so much worse. i’ve complained to every person i know about the fact these novels simply do not work in any form other than its original one. everything that makes trc magical is what exists in the quiet moments and where maggie’s writing is able to shine. of course i don’t expect a 1:1 adaptation HOWEVER i do think it gets to a point where it’s just bastardizing the original work. so many wonderfully beautiful scenes are missing and it feels so confusing because?? where is the heart?? you have no sense of how deeply these characters care for one another?? why are we doing any of this?? why does it all matter?? the art is gorgeous so it feels like such a shame to see it wasted on a very weak summarized version of events. would have loved for these to just be illustrated versions of the novels rather than trying to do something new. i can’t imagine my introduction to such a rich and intimate story being through these graphic novels. if anything, these can work as a companion piece to the novels. which also frustrates me because these are able to exist Because of the following trc has maintained these last 15ish years so it feels like a slap in the face when some of the most beloved scenes are just constantly missing.
also secretly feel like there is one big grudge against adam parrish and adam/gansey in general by the adaptation team but that also might just be my adam parrish induced paranoia speaking.
will be back in the not so near future when we get blue lily, lily blue (which will be a shit show since it’s my favorite of the series)

significantly better than the previous book but still suffers from most of the same issues. if you haven't read the original series, these graphic novels don't provide the best summary of the story. it feels a bit disjointed and if i didnt have knowledge of the books i'd be pretty lost. they need to get better with connecting a lot of the non-action related scenes.
otherwise, the art is gorgeous and i had a lot of fun revisiting the story through the illustrations. really enjoyed seeing my guys adam and ronan take center stage with this one.
interested in seeing how the last two books will be adapted for this format!

ADAM MY BELOVEDDDD
having adams scenes painted out before me was a legit throat punch because reading it was one thing but actually seeing it was another. i knew this was going to be amazing as tdt is my favorite in the series and it did not disappoint.
all the scenes we know and love (and hate) are included in and i cannot WAIT to read it again once i get a copy next year

Literally my favorite series, so getting to experience The Dream Thieves in graphic novel form makes me ridiculously happy. I’ve always loved Ronan’s storyline, and seeing his dreams, secrets, and all the chaos surrounding him brought to life visually was such a fun experience.
The artwork is beautiful and really captures the strange, atmospheric feeling of the Raven Cycle. I also loved getting to revisit these characters and this world in a completely different format.
I’m so excited that these graphic novel adaptations exist, and I can’t wait to continue with the rest of the series. 🐦⬛🖤

4,5/5
Zdecydowanie lepiej mi wszedł ten komiks po przeczytaniu pierwowzoru, jakim były książki z serii Król Kruków! Świetnie bawiłam się na komiksie, który odświeżył moje wspomnienia z czytania The Dream Thieves i wiele wątków przedstawionych graficznie rozjaśniło mi to, co działo się w książce.
JESTEM ZAKOCHANA W SCENACH ROVINSKY. Mam wrażenie, że Kavinsky popisał się większą gejozą w komiksie niż w książce, to jest taki stan umysłu że ja nmg.
Kocham warstwę artystyczną, zwłaszcza pod koniec (smoki są epickie), tylko że tu spotkałam większe errory niż przy 1 części sadly...
-0,5, bo nie jestem przekonana do sposobu, w jaki graficznie zostały przedstawione wizje Adama. Na początku byłam bardzo skonfundowana, ten wątek był dla mnie niejasny bardzo

there is no shape in which i wouldn't be in love with this story, and the artwork is stunning. seeing these scenes come alive is everything!! so let’s go get some orange juice 🫶, RONAN, the barns, the boat, 300 fox way, maura and mr. gray, kavinsky!! and his mitsu!!, and and and 😭
however as far as adaptations go!! if i didn't know the novel by heart, i don't think i'd know what was going on? also, and yes i am extra critical because this is my favorite book and yes i am aware it is incredibly hard to adapt such a complex series as the raven cycle, but i truly can't believe some of the things they chose to cut. like i am genuinely upset about it lol.
but besides the fact that they cut most of my favorite bits (which i am taking personally) i also think they cut some things that are actually very important to the plot???
i also think the graphic novel doesn't really convey the same feeling as the novel - while the trb graphic novel actually did have the same vibes as the book imo!! the dream thieves feels somehow different to me 😔
feeling conflicted because yes i did love this but also i am disappointed considering this is, as i said, my favorite book and this was my most anticipated release since the release of the first graphic novel!! but none of this will stop me from potentially rereading it right away..
update after i looked at my annotations in the dream thieves novel and thought about it some more!!
actually!! i don't only consider it a personal attack that they cut my favorite scenes, i also realized why some of it bothers me as much as it does. those are scenes that are integral to understanding the characters and their relationships. the complexity of the different feelings they have for each other, and even how much they mean to each other in general, is pretty much lost. somehow it feels like not even ronan gets enough pagetime here and this is literally his book 🧐 and DON'T even get me started on all the adam-related yearning. where is it!!! where!!
and also, gansey??? wonderfully complex, multifaceted gansey?? personally i think was a big mistake. because that scene is soo important in showing the complexity of his character, how he moves in different worlds and how DIFFERENT his relationship to ronan is from his relationship to adam. and just as big of a mistake!! was to . i can't even begin to express how important i think that scene is and yes i read somewhere it might've been moved to bllb but -- baffling decisions have been made in the making of this graphic novel.
i'm keeping it at 4 stars for now because the ART is WONDERFUL and i really am desperately thankful that we're getting new trc content. i am going to buy and love every graphic novel they make!! but man!! this one, while bringing much joy, also brought much disappointment!

too many important scenes were cut for the final “ronan's second secret was adam parrish” line to properly hit as hard as it could unfortunately :/

LOVE the graphic novel adaptations, i love being able to see them how the author sees them and whilst the books immerse me in henrietta anyway, the graphic novels immerse me in an entirely different way
