hello? what the fuck did i just read?

the plot twists in this book were absolutely insane. i feel like we finally got a grasp on what Bryde’s goals are, what the Mods want, and how each character fits into the puzzle, but i am left with so many questions i am concerned that a third book will not satisfy me. 

maggie stiefvater when i catch you…

so let’s recap:
  • Adam and Ronan are stressing me the fuck out
  • Declan and Jordan are somehow giving me butterflies on every page despite Jordan literally stealing his car and being a general menace this entire book
  • Matthew is a sweet baby angel who keeps having the same identity crisis—and is that from realizing he is a dream, or just generally being a teenager? maybe both. 
  • Ronan
    is a bad guy actually? hello? externalizing all of his greatest fears and darkest desires into a Dream Mastermind Villain?
  • being a young adult sucks actually i think is the general message here
  • Hennessy is straight up
    suicidal and that was absolutely heart wrenching to watch unfold
    but maybe things are improving now that she has joined the weirdo squad 
  • Carmen grew a pair 
  • Liliana is a freak but a wise freak
  • sweetmetals were introduced this book and i am so confused but also so intrigued and i need to definitively know how they are made or i will freak 
  • the entire Jordan In White situation had me so fucked up 
  • Hennessy not giving Jordan
    the memories of JH… girl
  • Adam please put your southern drawl back on…….. i need you to be Normal………….. i love you please gain back some of that character development from TRC
  • i fucking love gay people 
  • MATTHHHEEEWWWWWWWW

overall, the writing in this book was slightly inconsistent but i do think some of maggie’s best work is in this series, genuinely. i am so in awe of these books and while i did NOT see the ending of this book coming (and i’m also
not sure if i completely agree with/am on board with this direction) i am so pumped to read book 3 and see how the series closes out.

it’s 3:45am good fuckin night

When I first started reading Mister Impossible, I thought it was going to let me down. It had a bit of a slower start to it than Call Down the Hawk and I wasn't sure if it was going to pick up and keep my interest or if it was going to take a slower and more confusing route. However, I wound up being pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed it.

This story picks up almost immediately where Call Down the Hawk left off, which I loved. There was very little time-lapse, which allowed me to connect with it instantly. I didn't find myself trying to recall what had previously occurred in order to make sense of the themes and actions.

Just like the first book, this one continued to foster my love for Jordan Hennessy. Her character blows me away. She's so interesting to me and I still can't even put my finger on why - aside from the fact that she's so desperate to disconnect from Hennessy, despite caring for her so intensely as "her maker."

The dreamer aspect in this one seemed to be much more toned-down. It was there, of course, but the focus was more on what was transpiring outside of the dreams and how everyone is connected to one another.

Matthew's storyline made me tear up a little bit, I just gotta be real. But his connection with Jordan was so sweet and then that made me tear up even more.

The last few chapters had me gasping! I definitely didn't see certain things coming and was pleasantly surprised by... well, the surprise. It was nice to know that I hadn't predicted everything. But then, I don't know if I'd ever be able to truly predict anything in a book by Maggie Stiefvater. Because for all you know, it could all be a dream....
