Master of Crows
by Grace Draven
3.5 stars.
Master Of Crows is a quiet tale. With a rather impressive prologue, the story itself is quiet slow and simple in the end.
For the most part, it involved a lot if orange harvesting and late night research to develop the relationship between Matrise and Silhara. It’s not everyday that the main characters aren’t immediately the most beautiful people to each other, and I thought this was a unique twist. I liked the slow relationship development between Matrise and Silhara. They both are unsure of each other, and Silhara’s habit of going on the offensive first because of his keen awareness of how others view him make it for a rocky road to friendship and love.
Unfortunately, in terms of conflict, Corruption was pretty simply described. He felt very much akin to a literal devil whispering in Silhara’s head, and doesn’t really play any important role other than that of temptation and occasionally creepy possession demon.
I wish there was bit more purpose behind everything. Martrise felt rather like a wasted character, given she never truly chooses to do anything and had minimal agency. She has all this talent for languages and can remember everything she has ever heard or read, but seems wasted on being left in isolation most of the time.
