The Bird King

G. Willow Wilson

DID NOT FINISH: 49%

the plot dragged so much...i didnt really feel for the characters either and it was taking me too long to read for the books page count. really sad cause i loved the authors miss marvel comics so much (kamala's my favorite superhero in the marvel universe btw).
