Note: you could read „Call Down the Hawk“ without knowing the previous tetralogy „The Raven Cycle“. But I still recommend to read it first, because you get Ronan, one of the main characters, if you know his backstory, but not really, if you only read this book.ReviewI love Maggie Stiefvater’s writing, in each and every one of her books. And „Call down the Hawk“ is no exception. And I loved „The Raven Cycle“, which introduced Ronan and the world of the dreamers, who are able to bring whatever they want back from their dreams into the real world. So I was a bit astonished to find that I did like the book, but not love it as unconditionally as the previous ones.It’s darker, a lot darker than Gansey and his friends (Ronan among them) searching for an old welsh king. This book explores the dangerous world of the dreamers and the even more dangerous „Moderators“ who are out there killing each and every dreamer and destroy his dream manifestations. There are a lot of POVs here: Ronan, who desperately tries to find a way to live with his lover Adam and Declan, Ronan‘s brother. Then there is Henessy, a dreamer and Jordan, a dream. And finally, there is Carmen Farooq-Lane, who somehow was sucked into the business of the Moderators and is now somewhat bewildered, but still works as a hunter for dreamers.They all have their own stories for a pretty long time and it slows the pace a lot in the beginning. I still loved the wonderful world and the complex characters and when the plot lines finally converged, the story became a cool magical adventure. My minor complaint: just when the pace was right and everything had become exciting, the book was over with a cliffhanger (and I hate those). So if the world building weren’t so amazing, and the characters so well fleshed out, I would have given four stars max. But even with all the things I did not wholly like, it’s still a wonderful magic realism book.
