The further I get into my reread of Call Down the Hawk the more I’m reminded just how much of Ronan Lynch is bluster and bluff. He’s just so scared of so many things and he may not lie to anyone else, but so much of his energy seems to be spent lying to himself.

#it’s just odd because before when I read the dream thieves it was undoubtedly my favorite #and this time I was just ambivalent toward it #the dreamer trilogy I think does a better job of showing the incredible complexities and paradoxes built into these characters #but it lacks what I love so so much about the Raven cycle #it’s tight knot of togetherness and just so much fucking love and fear and it breaks my heart every other page #everything in call down the hawk and what little I remember of mister impossible is just so far flung #blue and Gansey and Henry get the smallest sweetest mentions #Adam tries so hard but is just so far away #Ronan is everywhere all at once #none of the other Raven cycle characters are big enough here to mention except Declan and Matthew who seem more together #and still so separate (as is expected of them tbh)#and Hennessy is just constantly running from herself #it’s just… everybody is in so many places that the beating heart of trc doesn’t apply and it makes me sad #I’m also terrified of how it all ends #but this started as a post about Ronan so I’ll end it with something about Ronan #the most common thing I’ve written into these books is this:#‘what a strange love Ronan has’ and ‘how strange it would be to be loved by Ronan’
