A review by repha
The Storm Crow by Kalyn Josephson
4.0
I enjoyed this book with my whole heart. The premise already sounded good to me, and the author did it justice.
I must admit that I found it a little slow at the beginning, which is also an advantage, since it shows the difficulty Anthia - the main character - has to deal with (aka her situation and depression). But when the story really starts to take flight, it becomes incredibly powerful and interesting, with plot twists that leave us praying for the next book to come out as soon as possible.
The characters are so interesting too! Anthia has a sharp tongue, and a lot of willpower, which gives her the strength to go on even when she feels like the whole world tries to hold her down and tear her apart. The side characters are well developed, flawed and lovable at the same time (though some of them are less lovable...). Oh, and the friendship between Anthia and Kiva is goal! I just love their dynamic.
