The Storm Crow by Kalyn Josephson
2.0

Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/epzrnsk_GHg

The Storm Crow follows Anthia, her kingdom is attacked and all the magical crows dies overnight. Six months later, her sister is queen and she is forced to marry the son of the queen who attacked them to keep the peace.

This is a book where I loved the ideas and the grounds for the world, but the execution of the story does not work for me. The story does not carry the emotional punch it wants to have, because initially I don’t have enough information about it to care about it. The characters are bland and the “villain” boring. I wish there was more magic and more “wonderness” about this world we are in, but it is just.. flat and boring for me, sadly. I also had a hard time believing in parts of the story, which initially ruined a lot of the reading experience. 2/5 stars.
