A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
3.0

This book was heavily influenced from Celtic mythology - I really love having the opportunity to learn about different cultures. Unfortunately in this book I found a lot of the terms very difficult to wrap my head around. There were so many new words (and pronunciations) in such short spaces of time that, even with a glossary I struggled to remember everything. A slower, more integrated approach to introducing readers to these terms could have aided my understanding significantly.

The love triangle with Rogan was a bit tedious, but luckily the romance with Irian more than made up for that. I found myself really waiting for those scenes and I loved how that part of the story played out.

Ultimately I found the writing to be rich and the story carried a lot of depth. I enjoyed it, but the elements I mentioned previously took away from the experience.

Thank you so much to Little, Brown Book Group for the arc via NetGalley. I really appreciate. being given the opportunity to give my honest feedback on this book.
