Having never read the first two books, I was surprised to find it was written in such a way I understood the events that had happened previously. This is done through Abbey's narrative reminding the reader of said events. It reminded me of that of Sarah J. Maas' ACOTAR books.Indeed, better yet, Abbey provides a very useful synopsis of the previous books at the beginning of this one. I haven’t seen this since Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
I loved the layout. For one, having a bird feather as a section division was creative. For another, I always appreciate a map so getting several in the beginning was great. The world-building was good, any questions I had were answered there. Kudos to Abbey for including names with meanings that make a lot of sense for the characters. This is very clever. Nava means “beauty”, Arkimedes means “master thinker/planner”, Devon means ”black”, Oberon means “royal bear” and the Corvus (the more elite form of the Crow Society) means "raven".
My main issue is that, for the length of the book, there was not a great deal going on! I felt there should have been less buildup and more action. The main showdown as someone previously mentioned is later on in the book with, say, 40 pages to go, at the most. Don’t get me wrong it was good, but things dragged on too long. This meant I couldn't ease into the story as well as I'd have liked.… (més)
