There is seemingly nothing better than the dialogue between Ronan Lynch and his bird, Chainsaw. It was wonderful to be in Ronan's mind and understand his conflicts and desires throughout the novel. I loved Ronan during TRC and if possible, I love him even more so after this book. Maggie Stiefvater has a talent with her characters, each so unique and tragic in their own way. It would be hard to talk about CDTH without mentioning The Raven Cycle, so I'm going to get it over with now.

These characters made the entire book for me. “No idea sounded like a good idea when you had only one shot left.” He possibly has the shortest page time, but has a story to tell nevertheless, and I feel like we are going to be seeing a lot more of him in the coming sequel.

He has a handful of lies, a handful of truths and very interesting shoes. → Declan Lynch wins your heart by stealing it first. → Carmen Farooq-Lane is a huntress that tracks both dreamers and their visionaries, hers is a tale of the end times. → Jordan Hennessy is struggling with herself, she's not living a life that's her own and if there is a single character that you should begin this story knowing nothing about, she is the one. → Our first main character, Ronan Lynch discovers that his dreams have been infiltrated by a voice that wants him to both understand his capabilities as well as the world around him. It presents a fresh new cast of characters (including the Lynch brothers) that you'll both love, hate and hate to love. Without giving much away, Call Down the Hawk explores the world of dreamers as well as the dreamed. Stiefvater wrote a tour de force that caused me to lose my breath through its soft complexities. The true magic of this novel is the fact that it is a subtle triumph. “There was something else afoot that October, something else stretching and straining and panting, but it was mostly as of yet unseen.”Ĭall Down the Hawk didn't hit like a freight train, nor did it call for any fantastical shocks.
