THIS BOOK!  The second book in The Kingdom of Crows series.

If you haven't read House of Beating Wings, please check it out and then read this one!

We're back with fiesty Fallon and more banter with our favorite Crow King, Lore.  I loved reading the changing relationship between them, even if Fallon's immaturity was really annoying me in the beginning of the book.  If there's anything we've learned about Fallon in this series, though, it's that she's essentially oblivious and incredibly stubborn. 

I enjoyed the new charactes and the twists and THE CLIFFHANGER ENDING! Enjoyed is maybe not the best word for my feelings about the ending... but I am impatiently waiting for the next book and loving this series!
