No rating as it's YA and it always feels a little unfair to me to star rate books for which I am clearly not the target market.
Honestly I picked this up in a charity shop a while back not quite realising it was YA and I might have left it on the shelf if I had realised.
It's a cosy fantasy about a girl with feathers growing from her back, and her journey to a magical 'City of Murmurs' to seek out her father, who is part man, part bird. It's slow paced and sweet and (surprisingly) a little bit gay, but I think I'd have DNF'd it had I not found the audiobook on Spotify - so I listened to the last few chapters on the train this morning. Not a bad book by any means but I think not for me.
