The Storm Crow

I received an ARC of The Storm Crow in the December 2018 Fairyloot box, and honestly I thought I wasn't going like it at all. However, I'm happy to say this was a super fun YA fantasy. The beginning was a little boring for me and the end was predictable, but I enjoyed the characters, their relationships, and the back stories. I thought the crows seemed cheesy and poorly explained at first, but I came to really love everything about them in the second half. I also appreciated the ease of the representation and consistency of depression throughout the book from beginning to end. There are some very common YA fantasy tropes throughout the story and things happen a little too quickly/easily at times, but I still enjoyed the overall reading experience. I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series.
