The Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore
4.0
What a delightful gem.
This book is very Romeo & Juliet. Cluck and Lace are from two totally different families that hate each other. Both of their families travel and have shows. Mermaids and Birds, what could go wrong? Well for starters, you can fall in love with someone from your archenemies family. After a terrible, totally avoidable, accident in the small town where both families are preforming Lace and Cluck are thrown together before they even realize who the other is. When they both come to terms with what they have done, they must find a way for their love to survive.
Cluck breaks my heart. Everything he goes through in the book at the hands of his family truly makes me feel for him. Lace is different from Cluck but also the same. She wants to be part of her families show, but she is still treated as an outsider. Cluck wants to get far away from his families show and his cruel family.
The plot twist in the end totally caught me off guard but it wasn't outrageously crazy. It brought everything together nicely and explained more things than I even had questions for. This book was so well rounded in general and was a nice light stand alone novel. I wish I could re read this book fresh already. I highly suggest this book for anyone to loves carnivalish books with romance and a sense of classic style.
