Feather by Olivia Wildenstein
5.0

this was an excellent book and one that i really enjoyed! i wasn’t sure what to expect going into it, but i’m a huge fan of romeo and juliet retellings, and this one exceeded my expectations completely

feather centers around leigh, a fletching - aka young angel - who has not yet completed her wings. olivia wildenstein is a master at world-building and creates a setting that is richly detailed and never confusing. i found leigh to be an amazing main character with great characteristics - strong, unique, and determined. she is trying to complete her wings in order to ascend and takes on jarod adler’s case, which is a daunting task because of his reputation

jarod was an interesting character and i loved his relationship with leigh. the “too little time” trope is my favorite and it was perfect here. i also found the side characters to be very fleshed out and i really liked celeste (leigh’s best friend) whom the second novel is based around

i also thought that the pacing was done well and that leigh and jarod had great chemistry. my favorite part of the novel, however, was the writing. wildenstein’s writing style is very light and flows well. it also kept me entertained the entire time!

i highly recommend this book, especially for fans of sarah j maas, tragic love stories, and/or the fantasy genre. 5 stars! ⭐️
