Nightbirds by Kate J. Armstrong
4.0
Wow. That was one heck of a LUSH world that I can’t wait to explore more of! It had so many of my favorite bookish locations from slums to palaces to ships.. this book had such a vivid world that I was in awe for most of it. Also the 1920’s prohibition theme but with MAGIC being the illegal substance.. like how freaking smart and creative?!
Nightbirds had me from the start, even though it started off with extremely long chapters (in my opinion) but they eventually evened out and stayed on the medium-short side. I’m a short chapter kind of girlie lol.
There’s some budding romance that I think will fully bloom in the next book, a beautiful growing sisterhood that brought some tiny tears to my eyes and the 1920’s theme with speakeasies?! I don’t know what’s not to love about this one. How could I forget to mention there are multiple POV’s that truly help us to learn about different backgrounds, struggles and help to get a more rounded out picture of this world.
Also, I need more of Willan please and thank you.
I don’t know, when I’m reviewing fantasies, my reviews tend to be hectic and all over the place but read if you like:
- the song All that Glitters by Earl
- 1920’s magic prohibition
- Speakeasies and Jazz
- Multiple POV’s
- Unique magic system/elemental magic
- Found family trope
- Black market shenanigans
