A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
4.0
adventurous emotional tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Lyra Selene is truly a master of prose, eloquently written. I enjoyed this reimagining of Swan Lake and how the author melds a story that is not only unique but harkens to the story portrayed in the original folk tales and ballet. This was a slow paced book for me until the last few chapters. The slow pace I feel was intended to world build but it felt flat.  I felt the character development of the main character, Fia, was choppy and stuttered. The last few chapters tho were intense and had me stunned. I am very interested to see what A Crown so Silver has in store for Fia and Irian.
