mysteriesofmar 's review for:
The Merciful Crow
by Margaret Owen
still ruminating on how i really feel about this book, so don't be surprised if my rating changes in a few days
amazing world-building and magic system with incredibly complex and motivating characters. i loved fie and how she dealt with the two most privileged and ignorant boys she could ever happen upon. i also love jas and tavin and how complicated their relationship and their backgrounds are. all three of them together was just *chef's kiss*
my main issue with the book had to do with pacing and plot, as it started getting a little grapes of wrath-y towards the 60% mark. there were plenty of exciting scenes, but it felt like we were just running to a point, stopping only to hide for a bit, and then running again for far too long. maybe 75 shaved pages would've saved this book from making me skim some parts lol
overall, i enjoyed this and am interested in picking up the sequel!
