c4nd1e 's review for:
Master of Crows
by Grace Draven
I didn't like most of Master of Crows, although it had its good parts. I made myself finish the book because I wanted to see how it ended, but I ended up skimming some of it.
Most of the story didn't hold my interest and the book felt way longer than it actually was. A lot of things, like the magic system, weren't described in a satisfying way so it ended up feeling flat. The characters and the romance didn't work for me either. The hero was a morally grey character, but he didn't have that spark that made him likable and I didn't buy into his feelings for the heroine. The heroine had very little personality, besides being servile and being in love with the hero for some inexplicable reason.
The best parts of the book was Gurn, the mute servant, and Cael, the magic dog, and neither of them said anything. :/
I loved two other books written by this author, Entreat Me and Radiance, so I'm kind of bummed that this one didn't work for me. I'll definitely try something else by Grace Draven, but probably not for a while.
