Feathers of Blood by Alice Ivinya

4.0

I enjoyed Feathers of Snow a bit better than this one. I think the reason for this is because this one does have more of the Fantasy aspect than the first book. We go to the border wall with Brianna broken and rejected for her to find out who is calling her. She has a run in with some bad spirit beasts and is saved by a white bird. She begins to bond with this bird and learn more about the spirit beasts. Jian is there as well which I was very happy about, for some reason I didn't think he would be as present in this one. There were some things I didn't like at the ending concerning Elyanna.
SpoilerMostly I feel like there was a huge build up about what exactly is her part in all of this with the evil bird. There were questions left unanswered with her that I feel should have been cleared up before her death. Especially since it was talked about multiple times during the book about what she was planning.
I really do love the authors writing style. She keeps great pace and makes it a very easy and enjoyable read. I look forward to the next book!
