Fourth book in the series by Maggie Stiefvater begins with the
fortune telling gals in their parlour as a sort of backgrounder since
it's been nearly two years since the book three came out. Next we
meet the boys at school. Ronan the wild child who dreams things into
existence, Noah the sentient presence who materializes out of thin
air, and Jane Sargent--Blue who amplifies magical things. The reader
may be in the dark as to what is happening here but so are the actors
in our story.
The storyline here is not linear. This is a world where people are
not what they seem, even greater than they seem. Where dreams are
real and people and things, even forests are dreamed into existence.
Where people are one with trees and the dead come back to life as
more than ghosts. The perspective shifts constantly reading the 400
pages here becomes an effort. This is a world of magic, seances,
hallucinations, dreams where logic ends and waking dream takes over.
To enjoy this world one must embrace it and leave reality behind.
