The Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore
2.0
This was such a weird book, its Romeo and Juliet but with one family who grow bird feathers and another who have fish scales. It has a lot of superstitious Romani, a chemical plant, and a bitter feud. It was such a strange read. I liked the chemistry between Luc and Lace. I liked that Dax was so well written as someone so awful, the author did not shy away from making him terrifying.
This book is likened to The Night Circus and I just do not see it. The Night Circus is beautifully written and atmospheric and felt like it could be real. This book had feathers and scales and whole bunch a weirdly superstitious people. It also had no direct explanation was it magic or not? Overall it was just ok for me, but part of the problem might have been going in expecting something like the Night Circus and getting nothing at all like it.
