Queen Crow by J. Bree
3.0
This series was a bit of a disappointment to me. Not at all a bad read, but it just doesn't meet the same standard as Hannaford prep in terms of plot, character arcs, and pace. Looking back not much happened over the three books and the threats were neutralized rather quickly and it took the Wolf returning to really get things going.
I like Avery a lot as a character, but I do agree with some other reviews that she was almost better developed as a side character than in her own series. I definitely read her inner monologue and thought that sometimes her opinion was a bit to high of herself and that she was all talk and no action. This is really unfortunate because her skillset and resources were enough to make her a dynamic and formidable character. If she stayed in her lane a bit more I think she could have been more entertaining and central to the plot in terms of eliminating threats. She doesn't need to be the Wolf and yet it seemed like she was trying to be.
The throuple element of these books was also underdeveloped. I was not left with a feeling that their relationship would prevail and there should have been more at the end to show the three of them coming together. Also, overall I was a bit disappointed with the chemistry between Atticus and Avery. There was almost more of it in the Hannaford series than this one when it should have been the very core of the books. Aodhan was great though, he could honestly do no wrong.
