Little Black Bird is the first book in a series written by Anna Kirchner.  Set in Poland, Wiktoria is trying to hide the fact that she has telekinetic powers.  When she is hunted down by a group of local sorcerers, Wiktoria must face her powers and discover who she truly is.

I like that you are introduced to the world slowly along with Wiktoria.  A lot of fantasy novels will include large sections of info dumping where you learn so much about the world at once that it's hard to remember it all.  Kirchner does an excellent job of slowly introducing the important world details so that you remember them as you move through the book.

I also love the dynamic between Wiktoria and Artur.  As they struggle to determine if their feelings are romantic or a side-effect of the magical connection, they learn more about their true selves.  I appreciate that Kirchner includes information about the LGBTQIA+ community in Poland and despite her characters being removed from it, she includes resources for members of the community in Poland.

Little Black Bird is an engrossing urban fantasy novel full of lovable characters and I can't wait for book two!
