The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen

3.0

I... I just don't know what was missing.

There was an incredibly unique magic system.
Good world building.
Good character development.

But I just wasn't pulled in the way I wanted to be.

I really enjoyed Little Thieves by the same author so it may have been my fault for expecting the same type of writing from her debut novel.

Overall it was an incredibly unique story but the writing just didn't do it for me.
