Call Down the Hawk: Volume 1 (Dreamer Trilogy, #1) (Dreamer Trilogy)

by Maggie Stiefvater

The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives – they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.

And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.

Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.

Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.

Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer . . . and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed. . . .

Blah.

This book started off really great and I got through it super quickly. Unfortunately, it lost me about halfway through and I found the latter half a bit difficult to get through. I loved being back with these characters, I loved being back with Ronan and Adam and the rest of the Lynches. But yeah, I didn't love this book. I liked Jordan's POV but I didn't like Carmen's (and I hated that Maggie referred to her by her last name the entire time, idk). I might still continue the series, but I am not highly anticipating the sequel, to be honest.

I loved this book. I do still stand by my statement that it is important to have read The Raven Cycle before this book to thoroughly enjoy it though. There are too many references to past events and characters to be understood without having read TRC previously. World and character and relationship building in this book was amazing and I found myself falling in love with characters I previously didn’t have much care for. I’m crushed I will have to wait for the next book!

I have become a ghost, leave me here.

UPDATE: I have definitely read this more than once this year. And I'm still deceased.

If a little dreaming is
dangerous , the cure for
it is not to dream less
but to dream more, to
dream all the time.

Stayed up all night to finish it. This whole series makes me ache with longing and happiness and sorrow. Like the Raven Cycle, I don't notice what age group or genre Call Down the Hawk classifies as - it's amazing regardless. So good. So so good.

I'll probably come back and write a longer (more helpful) review once I find the words.
