The Falconer by Elizabeth May
4.0
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would!! It definitely throws out some “Buffy the Fae Slayer” vibes, which I loved! The plot was great, there was a lot of action, I loved the steam punk elements, and I truely enjoyed Aileana’s character.
What I didn’t enjoy was the sheer repetitiveness. We are reminded, constantly, of the major plot points and eventually I just felt like yelling “Oh, you feel rage because of what happened to your mother?! Do you?! Because if so, please tell me another 40 times or I might forget!”
The ending also felt really rushed- I would have preferred something a bit more epic after the build up.
That being said, I will definitely be reading the next one, as I did really enjoy the story and characters!
