When I started this book, I expected a hilarious, slap stick adventure of a crow experiencing the apocalypse. As usual, I was wrong.

Well, not completely. While it IS a funny adventure of a crow experiencing the apocalypse, it's so much deeper than just that. It's got feeling, it's got heart. It's not just a parody on the genre, it's a complete reimagining of it. I've seen so many zombie apocalypse movies and TV shows. Not once have I ever stopped to consider the animals.

I feel bad saying that as an animal lover. I suppose I block out those thoughts because I'm sensitive to animals being hurt or being in danger. I don't like thinking about it and I certainly don't like listening to or reading about it.

With that being said, this book does not hold back when it comes to animals being killed and eaten. From house pets to wild animals, none are safe. This is the apocalypse and it would unrealistic if none of them got hurt or died. Just keep that in mind if you're thinking about this series.

I like the idea of different species working together to defend their territory and, though there are a lot of sad, dark moments, ST keeps us going forward with his insane commentary. Seriously, what was wrong with his owner? What is some of the shit he taught this damn bird? 🤣 

And the ending? Oh lawd, I did not expect that but it's the perfect cliffhanger because now I need to know what happens next. This was a great adventure and now I love crows even more.
