I was afraid I might have lost interest in The Raven Cycle et al by this point, but I was thoroughly entertained reading this and will likely continue with the trilogy. It uses a few writing tactics that really don't suit me (characters who know answers they won't share to keep things *mysterious* and yes, the dreams being real. The Dream Thieves was my least favorite TRC book, despite excellent characterization), but I did have a good time here and am intrigued to find out where the plot is going.
