Feathers of Blood by Alice Ivinya
5.0
◦ I've received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ◦
This book has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. From fear to love to the panic attacks that Brianna has gone through I felt them all. I loved the fact I could connect with each character and saw the world through their eyes, that has put me into the 1st place of a movie developing in my imagination.
The world-building has been breathtaking, crazy, and scary all at once, such a big world ruled by even bigger animals – I really thought how it would be to see animals three times bigger than us, ordinary animals like a bird to be able to carry us in their claws – that thought alone is scary.
I loved the fact the book focuses also on mental illnesses such as PTSD that Brianna is going through, and I really loved the fact that slowly she was beating that and getting better. I know I mentioned this already but the fact we get real issues to the heroines of a book is such a different feeling for me – because sometimes even heroes have their hard days.
The character growth into this book has been tremendous, Brianna has grown under our eyes from day to day if at the beginning she would cower into a corner, this time she held that sword and went ahead to fight and confront her own fears and I so loved her for that.
This book as the previous one for me has been an amazing journey, loved the slow burn romance and the found friendships and the found family and finding her own voice and standing up for her, even in front of a king. The ending of the story was perfect and left me with a bigger desire to read the next one and find what other adventures we’re getting into because there is so much more to explore in the world of Birds and Beasts and I’m so in it.
