i didn't realize this was a sequel LMAO
so my biggest critique of the book was that it was a bit hard to follow in the beginning.....i guess that's on me.
absolutely loved the world-building and the characters. gripping, emotional.

I believe I have found a new favorite author. Owen’s writing style is amazing, her word choice is fantastic, and her characters are diverse.
In this sequel to The Merciful Crow, we again follow Fie as tensions between the crows and the other castes continue to mount. When Fie’s band of crows comes across a whole town affected by plague, she bands up with two other chiefs to deal mercy. The queen has falsely blamed the kings death on the crows / Fie, so Tavin has to find her before the queen does. Once reunited, the band, along with our favorite lordlings, have to find a way to keep the queen from claiming the throne for herself.
Features betrayal, romance, spying, political plots, hidden identities, a wonderful world of magic, and so much more.
I absolutely adored this duo loft and I look forward to reading more work from Margaret Owen.

The kind of book that makes you give up on your own dreams of being an author because you'll never write anything this incredible.
