The Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore

5.0

What an absolutely spectacular book! Gorgeous writing, fascinating atmosphere, a swoony romance, and just the right amount of magic kept me turning pages and savoring each line. All the high stakes that come with Romeo-and-Juliet-esque warring families along with the unique and beautiful weirdnesses of a detail-rich, special story. Mermaid performers with real scales! A boy who makes wings and grows his own feathers! Scarred characters who are more beautiful than prettier counterparts! Fans of NIGHT CIRCUS and AVA LAVENDER will love this book. I'll definitely be reading this one again.
