Call Down the Hawk

Nieuw boek / soort van vervolg op de Raven Cycle. (Die wel gelezen, maar nooit gereviewed). (Is een fijne YA fantasy serie met ook nog een roze randje). (Veel haakjes ook wel, in haar boeken) []Waar de Raven Cycle met name om Gansey draait, gaat deze trilogie meer om Ronan Lynch, eigenlijk de interessantste van de personages uit de Raven Cycle. Een Dreamer, in staat om dingen de werkelijkheid in te dromen, iets dat in dit boek allemaal nog even verder wordt uitgewerkt.“It all had a classy, run-down look, like a place to be aesthetically killed by a really famous poltergeist”.[] Misschien is Opal, het laatste deel(tje) uit de Cycle eigenlijk wel de beste, geschreven vanuit het perspectief van een van Ronans gedroomde wezens, terecht gekomen in onze wereld.

Melodramatic and emo, feels like reading a manga...but 3.5⭐️ because it was a lot of fun....

Softly, but with feeling FUCK

can't believe my slavic ass was happier about the fact that the author mentioned kavinsky in half a sentence when hennessy n ronan literally did what they did

I won't say much because the raven boys stans have told me to k*ll myself about... 100 times? over the fact that I hate the series

Amazing. I was iffy on several of the new characters at first, but Parsifal really grew on me, as did Jordan. 
I would have loved to see more of Adam and I kept thinking that we would in the next book, but now I'm not so sure because of that ending. Shit shittity shit. 
Loved it.

i don't know how to review this, but i love Declan and i love Jordan and Ronan is still an asshole but i love him too.

This may be a better book than the three stars I gave it. I can't decide if the reason I couldn't really get into it was because of the book or that I wasn't in the mood for it.

Anyway, this reminds me a lot of Stephen King but lacks the gritty characterization.

the SNL More Cowbell sketch but instead it's: “NEEDS MORE ADAM”

MANAGEMENT

“There was only the quiet that came after all those things. There was only the quiet that came when you were the only one left. Only the quiet that came when you were something strange enough to outsurvive the things that killed or drove away everyone you loved.”

minor spoilers

This book was amaaazing! It felt like a very good continuation of The Raven Cycle, but with the focus being on the Lynch Brothers. Ronan and Declan have POVs, Matthew doesn't (yet). Then we have some new characters - Jordan Hennessy and Carmen Farooq-Lane who have POVs.

Adam is in there (well, it is Ronan's book after all), but he doesn't get a POV. There's text messages from Gansey and Blue to Ronan.

There's a lot of Declan Lynch eating antacids (because his brothers won't listen to him)

Oooh I was so nervous about this book. I love the Raven Boys series so much and deeply love Ronan. (I think The Dream Thieves is my favorite of the four.) I was nervous about stepping back into the world - and could Ronan carry it all without Adam and Gansey and Blue? Yes. That's all. Wonderful.

MORE

Maggie Stiefvater is obviously trying to kill me.

i love ronan lynch that's all i have to say

Oops, I guess I forgot to add this on GR after I read it! I couldn't put it down–as with all the Raven Cycle books I found myself in a battle between wanting to savor Maggie's lovely prose but also wanting to tear through it to find out what happens. I ended up tearing through it; I'd like to re-read it, and all of the Raven Cycle books. But who has the time!? augh

Anyway–lovely, can't wait for the next one!!

I think Maggie is a fabulous and imaginative author. She does a great job writing and developing her characters.
