The Merciful Crow, by Margaret Owen

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

3.75

Really got going from part 2 onwards. The world building took a sec for me to get a hang of but it was genuinely pretty unique which was a nice change of pace lol. I appreciate the setup for a sequel without a devastating cliffhanger. Characters won me over well enough to keep going but mostly for the tropes more so than the actual characters. Some of the oppression/racism metaphor(? Not sure what to call it) was a little heavy handed but I can’t be mad about it when it’s well intentioned and correct. Definitely curious to see what the sequel will have to offer!
