Black Wings Beating by Alex London
5.0
What a great book!
I met Mr. London at an author event in PA and picked up his book before meeting him. I'm so glad that I did.
Mr. London did extensive research into birds of prey, even as far as visiting a falconer in PA. I loved reading about the different types of birds he mentions in the book and then looking them up online to see what they looked like. I found this book to be very educational in that respect.
I also loved the characters. The twins, Kylee and Brysen, are so devoted to each other but you can obviously see where being siblings takes its toll. Then you have one who may or may not be more skilled than the other and you have a real conflict.
I'm interested in seeing how the things play out with the enemy, the Kartami. I'm especially interested in how things go with the Owl Mothers (I'm fascinated with owls 🦉).
Can't wait to read the next installment!
