t_bird 's review for:

A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek
4.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Immersive scene-setting, interesting magic system, interestingly flawed characters. I enjoy a good retelling, and this one hit the spot. I was ready to read a book 2, but it wrapped up neatly in the end (maybe a little too suddenly, but that’s alright).
