hoatzin 's review for:
The Merciful Crow
by Margaret Owen
Come for the pretty cover art, stay for the unexpectedly good deconstruction of privilege. I liked this a whole lot more than I expected, mostly because most of the YA I’ve read recently has been boring and predictable so I just go into them all expecting to be disappointing. This one has really cool worldbuilding and a main character with righteous anger and very cool powers.
Had to flip back a couple times when I missed something small that ended up being important 20 pages later, but also they usually ended up being explained so perhaps I should’ve been more patient. On the other hand I guessed one of the plot twists early and then they kept hinting it and that was annoying.
