Master of Crows by Grace Draven

3.25

adventurous dark emotional slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

---

The book had promised, but it was under-edited. Not only was there more typos than usual, but the a lot of interesting parts were erased with time jumps between POV switches. For example, what happens after a big moment is only recounted/summarized in the past through the next chapter when these were the pieces I was looking forward to. Like Silhara's first impressions of Martise, or what happened after the liche and at the tor. And though Gurn's reaction to Silhara hiring Anya was big moment, we never get to see Gurn's reactions to them actually getting together. Gurn was generally underdeveloped, when he could have been so lovable. We also are not given enough info about the enslavement and what it means.
