Tldr; Ronan’s self-destructiveness goes on tour, Carmen and Liliana have ideas, and Jordan and Declan look at art.

Wow, I just finished Mister Impossible and can’t believe all was left to be tied up in the next book. Ronan, Bryde and Hennessy are on the run, traveling in an invisible car trying to stay one step ahead of the moderators, while trying to save other “Dreamers” and also restoring the ley lines. Meanwhile back in Boston Declan, Matthew and Jordan are living their lives, doing the best they can without Ronan and Hennessy. Stiedvater’s prose paint exquisite visuals and Mister Impossible is action and family drama that jumps from the page. This is a real edge of your seat book and I can’t wait for the next in this trilogy.

Ugh... the title was dope... I guess
Amm... yeah that pretty much sums up my feelings about this book because, to be honest... it was kind of a mess. Like, it wasn't bad but it wasn't particularly good either.

!!!!!SPOILERS FROM HERE ON!!!!!
I've read the first book in this series about three months ago and when I started reading, akhm, Mister Impossible (it's so good, I had to), I had absolutely no idea what was going on for about 50 pages. I know this is a problem of Call Down the Hawk but the author could still at least briefly mention who the most forgettable character of the first book aka Bryde was at the start of this weird sequel.

And while I'm talking about Bryde.
I. Hate. Him. With. Every. Fiber. Of. My. Body.
He is the worst character in the entire TRC universe. Even that stupid (minor spoiler for The Raven King) freaking demon hornet wasn't as awful as him. He makes Ronan one of the least likable characters in this book and this is his actual worst crime. Who cares if he's trying to destroy the world... don't touch my boy Ronan or you will suffer in pain for the rest of your miserable life.

Anyway, I should probably calm down and talk about things that I liked in this novel. Well, I loved Declan, Matthew, and Jordan. They are good characters and I was glad when we got to experience the story from their POV. I liked it when Adam was there, I liked Deklo and Jordan having a moment (still waiting for Declan's emotional breakdown with Ronan though).
The other characters were either boring - Farooq-Lane and Lilliana - or just very unlikable - those two idiots that I mentioned in that anger-filled paragraph and of course Hennesy. I really don't want to talk about her too much but it was just so annoying how she constantly self-pitied herself and envied Jordan's happiness.

I don't really like the writing style of this series either. It's like Stiefvater can't decide if she wants to write a novel or poetry - which works in some books - but this is some action mystery adventure shit. We can't play with words like that if it takes away all the tension.
Dreamer stuff gets confusing very quickly to the point where I understand less of it than I did in TRC. The story is all over the place - which is not unusual for Stiefvater - but what's different in this series is that there is no Gansey or Blue or Noah, even Parrish is barely there. The bad plot didn't matter in TRC but these new books are not as character-focused which can be a problem.

And there is one very unpopular opinion that I would like to share: Deklo is more likable than Ronan in the Dreamers series.
Change. My. Mind.

Now I can go wait for book 3 and meanwhile listen to Halsey's Gasoline.

The narrator in this audiobook is fantastic, honestly. He really brings this story to life. Ronan was my favorite in The Raven Cycle, and I love getting to see more from him here. And such a cliffhanger! I need to know what happens next!
