Maggie Stiefvater's Call Down the Hawk
Considering all the book news I follow, I am amazed and a bit embarrassed that I didn't know until last week that Stiefvater a) had a new book coming out and that it was b) set in the Raven Cycle universe, focusing on Ronan! On the plus side, I only had to wait a week to read it. :) Anyway, this is really about all three of the Lynch brothers, plus a cast of new characters—another dreamer, some art forgers, a group tracking down and /killing/ dreamers to forestall the apocalypse. You know, the usual. I did wish these characters crossed paths a little earlier, but once they started interacting I was fully on board. Occasionally Steifvater's slightly mannered writing took me out of the story, but for the most part I suuuuuper enjoyed this and can’t wait to read the next one. In a year or so. Siiiiiiigh. A-.
