Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop
5.0
I really enjoy this series. The author has created a very enjoyable blend of intrigue, adventure, sinister plots, and strangely, optimistic humor. I love the trials and tribulations as the Others get to know their human pack and vice versa. Can't wait for the next one!
2.14.16 - Re-read (Whispersync)
Still just as amazing as the first time. Perhaps even a little better, given the narration for the series is excellent.
I got so engrossed in the book that I wanted to growl at people because I had to put it aside this weekend to attend a social engagement. Perhaps my inner wolf is showing?
In this second book, Ms. Bishop does a brilliant job of further fleshing out her world. We get to know some tertiary characters better as Meg's "human pack" continues to bond with her and we get to meet some new characters that interact with the Others. However, Meg and Simon remain the focus of the story. Their contrasting perspectives bring a sense of wonder to the series as they feel out their place with one another and learn to accept their differences.
The phrase wondrous and terrible is used quite a bit in the story, and I think it also captures a lot about the series. There is this clash of innocence and violence that works. It is hard to explain. I suggest you read the series and see for yourself. :)
