A review by mackenzierm
The Blackbird Season by Kate Moretti
4.0
First line: "The day the birds fell, I dealt the tower card."
This was an interesting novel, although I found it took me awhile to really get into it.
The characters were compelling with interesting backstories. I had many feelings of mistrust of certain characters, and annoyance or disappointment in others. There were also moments of happiness and hope.
I saw the major twist coming just before it began to unfold, but seeing the reasoning behind it all added more allure.
In reality, I would like to give this novel a 3.5 star rating, firstly, because of how long it took for me to really get into the story. Secondly, I really enjoyed the aspects of superstition and its symbolism, tarot cards, etc. and I would have liked to learn more about that. Regardless, I did enjoy reading this novel and would consider reading more of Moretti's work.
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher of this novel for allowing me to read this advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review!
