Ok. I DNF'd this book at 50%. I feel bad, because I really wanted to like this book.
Unfortunatly I didn't care about the characters or the story itself. I did like the prologue!
I am so glad we got time with the crow! From the description, we know that there probably won't be a lot with the crows, but we do get some really good crow scenes. The unraveling or partial unraveling of Razel's plan was surprising and emotional. Thia becomes stronger in more than one way and I did like that. We are left at a good spot. It makes you want to go to the next book immediately. The romance subverts some tropes in a good way, but I don't love it. I am curious to see how the romance develops in the next one.
What a total surprise this was! I've had it on my shelves for a while and never picked it up, then just decided to read it totally at random and loved it!
It's just the perfect blend of everything good in fantasy - magic, political intrigue, waring kingdoms, a little bit of romance and angst, interesting world and especially in this one with the unique crows and what they do.
It was exactly what I needed at the time and I'm going straight into book 2.
