Cool. Fun to exist in this perpetual state of agony. I’m fine.Update 9/26/19:Just popping back in a few weeks before publication to say that I think this is so worth the wait. This is ambitious, original, and darkly fascinating. It offers so much character development and is occasionally just batshit crazy with its worldbuilding and fantastical elements. Once you start reading it is impossible to look away. I can't wait to talk about this book nonstop with all of you soon.

‘you are made of dreams and this world is not for you.’ reading this book made me feel like i was dreaming someone elses dream, a dream that only makes sense to the dreamer and i was the intruder. thats really the only way i can describe my experience. from the first page, the first word, i could tell this story is means something to someone. stiefvater has always had a dreamlike quality to her writing, but this story made me feel like i was inside her sleeping mind and i just couldnt quite g

[read 2 | oct 2020]The definition of mistake is rereading this before the sequel is ready 😩 I love this book so deeply and fiercely. It also is such a study in capturing the abstract with solid words, and I love beautifully, majestically peculiar it is. All utterly enhanced on audio too, I might add. I listened to it an intense amount of the weekend and the immersion was both beautiful and aching. I love it and it hurts.also Adam 🥺miss that disaster.[read 1 | november 2019][grasps fruitlessly fo...

my fervent desire to read this vs my insurmountable disgust about having to spend money on a cover that ugly. who’s going to win? cast your votes NOW

I take back everything I've ever said about the following:- the darkness of my soul- the cynicism I feel about every aspect of waking life- my black heart, my pessimistic core, my status as an eternal hater, etc.I'm rebranding to a lover now. Someone who consumes content without criticism and likes everything. A person who five stars every book and thinks every movie is the best one. This book changed me.I adore The Raven Cycle to an extent that is almost disturbing. I love the dialogue and the

Over the past year, I’ve become quite immersed in Maggie’s Stiefvater’s writing, enough to say The Dream Thieves has become one of my favourite books of all time. Unfortunately, since said book, I’ve felt a downward trend in what once contained a lot of love and magic for me. Call Down The Hawk is a spin-off focused on Ronan Lynch – a boy with the ability to bring anything he wishes back from his dreams – and how he is coping without his friends, who have gone on a year-long road trip, and his

“There was something else afoot that October, something else stretching and straining and panting, but it was mostly as of yet unseen.” Call Down the Hawk didn't hit like a freight train, nor did it call for any fantastical shocks... The true magic of this novel is the fact that it is a subtle triumph. Stiefvater wrote a tour de force that caused me to lose my breath through its soft complexities. _______________ Tamquam, Alter Idem Without giving much away, Call Down the Hawk explores

"CALL down the hawk from the air;Let him be hooded or cagedTill the yellow eye has grown mild,For larder and spit are bare,The old cook enraged,The scullion gone wild.""I will not be clapped in a hood,Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,Now I have learnt to be proudHovering over the woodIn the broken mistOr tumbling cloud.""What tumbling cloud did you cleave,Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,Last evening? that I, who had satDumfounded before a knave,Should give to my friendA pretence of wit."- w. b. ye...

New week, New BookTube Video - all about the best (and worst) literary couplesThe Written ReviewIT'S HERE AND THE OWLCRATE EDITION IS FLAWLESS You are made of dreams and this world is not for you. Ronan Lynch thought he was alright with staying at the Barns but what once felt like freedom is becoming increasingly more like a cage. But joy is a small, tenacious crop, especially in soil that hasn't grown any for a long time. After a disastrous visit to Adam's dorm room, Ronan r

Ronan Lynch is everything! “I think it means I’m a raven. That makes you a raven boy.” -The Dream Thieves. "Squash one . . squash two . . squash three!!" AAYYYYYYYYYYY!!^^( LMAO! GET IT? )^^I am honestly not even surprised to hear about this. Extremely happy? Hell yeah! Surprised? Not really.It's no secret Ronan has always been Maggie's favorite, and when she first started writing TRB it was meant to be about Ronan and his dreams. I think it's time to find out what The Raven Cycle was or...

I never read something so beautiful, magical, creative, original, depicted all those vivid dreams adroitly and meticulously! You may visualize everything written in the words with the help of them you may use entire five senses to open your heart to those unimaginably fantastic dream sequences! This is creating a remarkable portrait with the power of vocabulary instead of using paint and brushes. This is creating a memorable song with the talented mind without using any notes and instruments. I...
