![]() ![]() From now on, they’re a symbol of what I have left to fight for.” Reading about the crows’ different abilities and seeing how it wove together to sustain Rhodaire was pretty magical and it was probably my favourite part! The crows weren’t sentient but I liked the concept of a magical bond between a crow and their rider. The existence and use of the crows was unique. I can’t recall a book where animals and humans co-existed so harmoniously and where the animals played such a big role in the stability and success of a country.Although the pacing felt a bit off at times, it was overall a very fast read. If you’re looking for a fast paced fantasy, this isn’t it.There isn’t a whole lot of action for the majority of the book–it’s more getting to know characters, being introduced to the world etc., but I don’t think the character arcs took over the main plot (and there is a solid one). For the most part, the writing flowed well and was easy to follow. It wasn’t overly descriptive but Josephson gave enough for this world to come to life.That said, I’m very much looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book and I was lucky enough to get an eARC for it, so I’ll be reading that in the coming week. ![]() There are a lot of things I enjoyed about it but I think that there was a lot of potential for more, especially with the world building and character development.

Working her way around the Harlem jazz clubs, she was just 18 when she was discovered at a club called Monette's by John Hammond, the legendary talent scout who also discovered Bessie Smith and Robert Johnson.
