Black Wings Beating by Alex London
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
It was a little too YA for me. I overlooked that to read a queer fantasy, but it was getting a bit too much.
And then it felt like nothing important happened for 100 pages. And then when the whole reason for these two kids to go get the legendary ghost eagle came up, it was as a debt payment owed by the gay brothers scuzzy boyfriend.
And the icing on the cake were the names.
Kylee, Brysen, Dymian, Nyall, Nyck, Symon, Vyvian, and more. Every couple sentences this naming scheme kept wrenching me out of a story I probably could have eventually warmed up to.
