Stiefvater delivers a dazzling fantasy, at once epic and intricate, from which readers will be loath to wake. Exquisitely drawn characters and witty, graceful prose complement the artfully crafted plot, which thrills while examining issues of individuality and mortality.
Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives they will sleep forever if their dreamers die. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming they can only try to control it. Stiefvater delivers a stunningly imaginative tale that is by turns dark, funny, tragic, romantic, and surreal. Book Review: Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater NovemSummary: The dreamers walk among us. is reluctant government agent Carmen Farooq-Lane, whose organization hunts and kills dreamers to try and forestall a widely prophesized apocalypse. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., art forger Jordan Hennessy sleeps in 20-minute bursts for fear of entering REM sleep, during which she creates sentient clones of herself, each of which "physically cost her something." Neither knows the other exists until mysterious fellow dreamer Bryde visits Ronan's dreamspace and sends him to save Jordan. Ronan yearns to follow his boyfriend, Harvard student Adam Parrish, to Massachusetts, but until he can better control his propensity for manifesting elements of his dreams ("monsters and machines, weather and wishes, fears and forests"), he's stuck living on his family's Virginia farm. Book one of Stiefvater's Dreamer Trilogy, spun off from the Raven Cycle, centers on orphaned high school dropout Ronan Lynch.
