A review by bookwyrms_shelf
When Among Crows by Veronica Roth

5.0

This was a deeply dark, whimsical, and magical story. I really liked that in such a short amount of space, Roth built an entire world with systems in place, yet it didn't feel overwhelming or take up most of the story.

Dymitr is on a quest to find an impossible flower, and to find the elusive Baba Jaga. His motivations and goals are secret, but along the way he shares pieces of himself with his companions, Niko and Ala.

This was hauntingly beautiful, and an examination of what it means to be whole, and to redeem yourself in your own eyes versus the eyes of others.
