The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This duology is a HIDDEN GEM!! I finished both books a week ago, and I'm still missing the characters. The world building and magic and caste systems, the characters relationships, it's all so good. I'm also a huge fan of Margaret Owen's other writing - this is definitely darker than Little Thieves but has the same eat marks of her writing style. Go in blind and follow the weird journey!!!
