Call Down the Hawk (The Dreamer Trilogy, Book 1)

De: Maggie Stiefvater

Narrado por: Will Patton

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Raven Boys, a mesmerizing story of dreams and desires, death and destiny.

The dreamers walk among us...and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming - they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives - they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.

And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.

Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.

Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.

Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer...and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can dor. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed....

Another Modern Classic

Maggie does it again! With tons of new characters, creepy dream stuff, and lots of unexpected art appreciation. Love the Lynches. Can’t wait to hear more!

Once again....!

Will Patton's voice and Maggie Steifvater's words....the perfect and profound combination. Ronin comes alive through Will Patton's portrayal and there will never be anyone else who could come close...To be able to "act" the embodiment his characters with just his voice...bravo, Mr. Patton.
This next installment thickens and deepens the Raven Boys story in a way that forever beckons me to join it. Now, more than ever, we need a world where Deamers and their Dreams will pushus towards wildly creative solutions...

Super Cool

I hated to see The Raven Boys come to a close. so bringing some treasured characters come back for a story of thier own is a joy.

PERFECT

Wow this book is so amazing and perfect in every way. 10/10 would reccommend.

An exercise in patience

There is something about Stiefvater that is markedly different than most authors of this genre. It's seemingly slow, but it isn't. It is always a character study but underratedly (a word??) so. I wasn't even sure I was engaged until the last 3 hours of the story because I wasn't really sure where it was going. But then it all made sense. What I did not expect, was a cliff hanger. Damn! I hadn't realized it wasn't a stand alone, or I forgot. So now I wait to find out what happened. Grrrrrr.

I didn’t like it as much as The Raven Boys, but Stiefvater is an author I respect for quality writing and will always keep her on my list of authors to follow and read, however, I must be in the right frame of mind before I venture in. She obviously loves her characters because she writes them so you can know and study them. It’s a slow and deep meaningful relationship. And her writing is beautiful in a way I cannot describe except that it is not flowery or pretentious, but its poetry nonetheless. It has a complexity to it unlike any juvenile YA writer I’ve ever read. Finally something I can sink my teeth into!

Will Patton was great, reprised from The Raven Boys. I didn’t think his voice was the right fit for the series in the beginning, but now I’ve changed my mind. He is emotive, which makes him a good actor, I would guess. I think he lends himself to Stiefvater prose well, he gets it! My only complaint is that Patton does not do an British accent very well. However, it did not detract me from the story. I was actually glad his role was reprised instead of a new narrator.

So if you have gotten this far in the series, then you are obviously a Raven Boys fan, and I do not think you’ll be disappointed.
