A Captive of Wing and Feather by Melanie Cellier
3.0

Eh, it was cute but not my favorite book of the series.

A Captive of Wing and Feather is a swan princess retelling. Not really like the movies that I grew up with because she wasn't really turning into a swan. Yet, she did have a squad of swans.. so that was pretty interesting. In it, you will meet Adelaide and Grabiel. They were cute in a way but I was really bored while listening to this one. Maybe it's because I'm at work and I'm bored there.. but I just wasn't that invested in these characters or their romance.

Of course things got better towards the end of the book, which made me happy. Yet, it was a little too late for me to even think about liking it more than the previous books. If the pacing was a lot better then the rating and review would reflect that. I am, however, really happy I dove into this retelling series. It was fun and interesting since it has been a while since I'm done a series that just focuses on retellings.

Overall, I need to find another series that grabs my attention from start to finish - any recommendations?
