Murder of Crows

Dark, daring and filled with action, Murder of Crows shows us the bitter side of humanity. We see the lengths the Controller will go to keep his girls and reclaim Meg. Even if it means killing a few along the way to better his chances. As war brews among the humans and Others, our Lakeside courtyard is continuing their slow acceptance of the small human pack. They are beginning to teach others of their kind how to interact with humans. After all, they've begun to trust a few, strangely enough, and want to keep war away from their home. And as the Others learn to live with the humans, Simon beguns to attach himself to one in particular, Meg. Watching him come to terms with feeling human emotions is hilarious and well written. He internally battles with himself trying to decide between the Wolf reaction and the human action, which is the right to show? It makes you wonder how all the others think in the Lakeside Courtyard. Do they battle with themselves as much? And I'd love to see how their views of Simon have changed from the first book. I also enjoy how in tense moments he has the most random concerns, such as living with humans who all dye their hair, because to the Wolves it stinks. I was a bit sad to see the ending whiz by, only highlighting over the conclusive events. I would have liked to see a bit more build up and expanded scenes, but overall I enjoyed Murder of Crows. The perfect blend of comedy and darkness. This world and it's characters will grab you from the first chapter and hold on tight, making you need the next book.
