A review by jenrcratsenberg
The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen

4.0

I have very few words to say other than I had fun reading this book!! I was told it was a “refreshing read for YA”, and to be honest it felt like it! I liked the characters, the world, etc. Despite it realistically not being THAT original, it didn’t bother me. Felt like a TOG meets Song of the Current (meets maybe a few other) but it was written with a fresh voice and dynamics. Most books aren’t very original anyways at this point with hundreds of years of publishing going on (including thousands of years of writings lol). I’m excited for the next!
