soitently 's review for:

The Conference of the Birds by Ransom Riggs
4.0

⭐️3.5 stars ⭐️

Potential mild spoilers.

This was a fun journey but there are some things that just didn’t land with me. Noor is an interesting character concept, but it feels like she didn’t get nearly as much character building as the other main characters. She just feels pretty one-dimensional. Also, the romance in this book didn’t seem to flow naturally, and it kind of felt like it was put in there because Jacob NEEDS to be in a relationship, which I don’t think is true. My last gripe is that there are some plot points that just felt way too easy and on the nose. Noor’s song is a good example of that. It just didn’t feel organic.

Overall, despite my frustrations, this book was a lot of fun and I found myself hooked!
