Honestly not going to get over adam calling ronan who knows how many times, getting in touch with him through his brother, almost losing himself constantly looking for him in dreams, and Ronan (who does not have a phone) going "why didn't you text me?"

[purgatorybfs]

thinking about forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. how in that moment of fear and desperation ronan whispers it to adam. I'm thinking about maggie's tweet, how the characters need to go through a lot of painful emotional growth before they can gett their happy ending. all the things they tell each other - unguibus et rostro - tamquam alter idem - these nerds who love each other so much and speak latin to each other. And now ronan's hurting and adam's hurting but perhaps this pain will one day be okay to look back on because it will have meant that they have grown. [this does not have a point im just up in my feels]

So I’ve now finished Mister Impossible and I’m losing it.

It’s like I remember the events of it over and over again and every time my heart breaks, every time is like a bitch slap. For me it’s one of the strongest pieces in the series, if not the strongest. The only other one that might claim the spot is The Dream Thieves.

So the short story is I love it. The long story is also that I love it.

That electric and vibrating feel. A timbre or an aura that doesn't flicker for a second. I’ve seen other fans describe it like this and I can only agree – it feels just like a dream, a hallucination. The Dream Thieves and Mister Impossible are not just books, they’re physical experiences. You can feel these books. 

Not a single chapter is too slow or unnecessary. It’s so compact, so complex and filled to the brim with both action and love. Everything drives the plot forward in a pace that doesn’t feel rushed and with descriptions that are both funny and heartbreaking. The more I think about it, every post I read here on Tumblr opens up another layer, another way to see it, another deeper meaning. It’s all so, so skilled. Maggie has worked on perfecting her writing for years and this book is proof that she's excelled.

Did I say that I love it?

The possibility of endless analysis regarding the religious metaphors. The deepened discussion of real vs forgery. Original and copy. What makes us human, what do we need as humans? The symbolic meaning of the sweetmetals. How the need for meaningfulness, connection, spirituality and awe are connected to nature, but also what Bryde cannot see - how that exact feeling can be found in art, created by human hands. 

Did I say that I love it?

Ronan’s anxiety regarding the unanswered text, something so mundane and meaningless, blown up in his mind to something unfixable. How Hennessy dreams Jordan as a version of herself unburdened by trauma. How Hennessy pushed Jordan away with bitterness, unable to stop, unable to handle her love for her. Declan’s fear of becoming like his father, how his feelings for Jordan blinds him. Adam, surrounded by people but completely alone, trying desperately but failing to save his boyfriend. Matthew’s identity crisis, so sincere and so utterly harmless.

Did I say that I love it?

The fact that Maggie spared nothing. The fact that she crushed us. I know she isn’t a people pleaser and I expected Ronan to make bad decisions under Bryde’s influence, but I didn’t expect her to go this hard. How she slowly turned the fan favorite into this dark version of himself. How Ronan’s enemy has always been his own mind. The way he treats his loved ones is so wrong, he’s making terrible decisions, he’s breaking the world with all it’s beauty. And still, we understand him, we understand why, we still love him.

Say what you want, feel what you want, I understand that this book isn’t for everyone, its very dark. But this, succeeding in writing this character arc, it’s extraordinary work. You can feel throughout the book that Maggie loves it too. She's put her soul and her heart in this book. You can feel her heartbeat between the lines, and I love it.

Ronan put his jacket over his head to drown out the sound and muffle his building nerves. He could feel his pulse thudding in his jaw. He could hear it in his ears. It sounded like everyone else’s heartbeat, he thought. Just like Adam’s heart when his head was resting on his chest. Ronan wasn’t that different. Well, he could seem not that different. He could move to follow the guy he loved, like anyone else. He could live in a city, like anyone else. It could work. 

He began to dream.

~ Call Down the Hawk [end of chapter 2]

This was the paragraph right before Ronan first dreamt of Bryde. 

Oh, Ronan. You’re so special and so broken. Like my heart when I think of you.

[nnddsss]

Ronan really is some kind of a monster though.
