sweekune 's review for:

For the Birds by Angela Roquet
3.5
adventurous dark funny tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

More from Lana Harvey, reaper-extraordinaire of Limbo City. The romance is more palatable and the dangers are mounting up.

- Again, I loved the intertwining nature of the various deities depicted in this book. Getting to know the Fates more was a real treat.

- The romance was a lot steamier but much less dramatic than in Pocket Full of Posies. 

- The plot was fast-paced and twisting. It kept me engaged throughout.

- There is an scene near the end of the book that definitely should have had a TW/CW for torture. Whilst the book itself isn't exactly nonviolent this scene was out of character with the rest of the book and definitely jarring.

Another great book and looking forward to Psychopomp.
