A review by melanie55
The Company of Birds by Nerine Dorman

5.0

The Company of Birds is a lovingly crafted epic fantasy which I thoroughly enjoyed. The protagonist, Liese is a wonderfully flawed character who draws a tremendous deal of empathy. While all the characters are well drawn, it’s Liese who drives the story and is the most fully rounded.

The world building in this story is beautiful and I found myself getting lost in it. This dominates the first half of the book and while that effected the pacing, the imagery created was worth it. There are many strong themes which are planted at the beginning which pay off in the climax.

I received a free review copy of book in return for an honest review. And I’m very interested in reading more from this author.
