The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald
3.0
The writing is beautiful, the characters are so perfectly developed... there are some incredible things about this book. BUT... the lead up to anything actually beginning is about HALF of this very long book (my edition also had TINY text, which didn't help matters!). It was difficult to keep on reading. Then it got GOOD. Couldn't put it down. Then it got predictable. Some books you think you're supposed to "get it" before the characters do, but I wasn't sure it was intentional here. With Fall on Your Knees it was an "Oh my god, NOOO!" moment. Not so with this one. And then that was it, done.
There is reallly a lot to like about this book, and I hate to give it a bad rating, but.... iit did take me TWO MONTHS to slog through, and I guess that about sums it up. I'm glad to see similar reviews here. I felt like maybe I missed something brilliant in there, but I guess I didn't.
