I got this book as a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. And I'm always honest about books...

Blackbird was somewhat of a hodgepodge of the YA fantasy genre. I saw a little bit of the Fallen series in here, a bit of The Mortal Instruments & Infernal Devices series. Basically, it was right up my alley.

The plot was fantastic and I really liked the main character. The whole thing is so secretive, you learn as you go. I kind of liked that, but I will admit that it frustrated me a little bit...in a good way. It pushed me to really want to keep reading. The pace was super fast, which I liked, but which was probably what kept me from rating at the full five stars. The pace kind of lent itself to a little bit of confusion. I found that there were a few times when I forgot which secondary character was which.

I really liked this book. But...unfortunately, it's the first in a series, so I managed to shoot myself in the foot again. Now I'm stuck waiting for book two. Drat!
