Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. It did a good job of bringing back Ronan in a way that felt exciting and new with his struggles and pain that he has to go through with his friends being gone and Adam being away at college. I also thoroughly enjoyed the new characters that were introduced especially Hennessy and Jordan. Hennessy was particularly interesting since she struggled with making copies of herself one of them being Jordan, having the knowledge that they would all die along with her was very sad to watch her grapple with. Overall I just felt for all of the characters in the book. They're all going through various struggles and you really just want them to be okay and to succeed. Another character that was interesting was Declan. Especially how he had kept himself very reserved and lied frequently and to see his walls break down towards the end through how he meets Jordan and dealing with Matthew finding out he's a dream is interesting to watch play out and personally Declan really grew on me. A few complaints I had with this book were when Bryde was revealed at the end which I found to be a bit anti-climatic and that Adam wasn't in it very much(I know he's in college and I'm happy for him but I still missed him so much, as well as the rest of the gang). Although there were few Adam and Ronan moments in the book, they were still very well and beautifully done. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this book and am happy to be back in the Raven Cycle world.
