I loved it then, I still love it now. Jordan and Hennessy are amazing additions to this one, I loved reading more about both Declan and Matthew, I even thoroughly enjoyed reading about Declan and Jordan's budding relationship which was a complete surprise to me. My favorite aspect of this was the relationships between siblings which seems to be my reader wheelhouse when it comes to series books.

Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater is book one in The Dreamer Trilogy. I don't even know how to start this review. Maggie has done it again, and apparently she has taken over my life this year. Now I just need to find a paperback edition of Mister Impossible.
This book takes place after the events in The Raven Cycle. Gansey and Blue have left on a road trip and Adam is at Harvard. Which leaves us with a very lonely, and more broody than usual, Ronan. We also get way more of Declan this book, and from the bland fun sucker that was the Declan we got in the Raven Cycle, we now have a reason to care about him. I am confused and conflicted, because now I care about Declan and just want him to be happy and without burden.
We also follow Hennessey, another dreamer, who only dreams copies of herself; and Farooq-Lane, a dreamer hunter who is searching for the dreamer that has been prophesied to end the world. It was fascinating getting a look at another dreamer and how that affected her. It was great seeing the interplay between Hennessey and Ronan, and you get the sense that Ronan is way more in control than we've seen him be.
I love Maggie's writing so much. She's so good at writing about abstract concepts and dreams in a way that makes you visualize them without even understanding what that would look like in reality. There are just so many themes and messages in this book, that I can't list them all. I don't even know if I understand them. I seriously need to get my hands on Mister Impossible, which I'm told will destroy me. Bring. It. On.

Also, Maggie Stiefvater did it again! I got sucked right into this story, just like TRC and do NOT regret a thing! The world, the characters, the story, multi-POV, new characters mixed with existing ones from TRC! GOD DAMN IT YOU'RE FUCKING BRILLIANT!
There is so much going on in this one!
My reactions were as goes:
Oh shit!
Matthew, oh, my heart. 🥺 I'm not crying, you are. 🥲
What!?
Oh my gods!
Gasp!! Oh fuck!
*shocked face* 😲😮
*almost crying*🥺
*sad face*😞😟
Well shit, I did not see that coming.
Now if I can get Cloud Library to cooperate, I can start Mister Impossible!
