House of Beating Wings (The Kingdom of Crows Book 1)

Product Information

The characters are unlikable, and there are so many of them added in with no purpose it leaves for a mind boggling game of memory to remember who is who. FALLON WAS NOT my favorite main character… in fact, she might be one of my least favorite female MC’s ever. U mnie tak było właśnie z „Domem trzepoczących skrzydeł”: po opisie, motywach i zapowiedzi sądziłam, że to coś dla mnie, ale… O, przenajsłodszy jeżu, otrzymałam o wiele więcej, niż oczekiwałam.

The plot has fantastic potential but it's execution is sloppy and poorly explained, leaving confusing and awkwardly paced world building. However, I must say that the last 25% or so were so thrilling that I really started to enjoy the story despite the MC being annoying. And I don’t even wanna touch on the whole love triangle situation because it infuriated me like nothing else I have ever experienced. And to add, the hardback is stunning, such beautiful artwork on the chapter pages and the inside cover as well as the outer protective one.I didn’t know which one would be the right choice for Fallon and I liked them both for different reasons.

It’s not hard to sus out which characters we should be wary of and which direction the plot was gonna move. Don't get me started on the weird "you should sell your virginity" path we headed down for no reason. while i found the MC to be a bit annoying at the beginning, i do think she goes through a decent enough development that she began to grow on me. The main character is pretty naive throughout it, which does start to grate on me about 1/3 of the way through. Inhaltlich überzeugt das Buch umso mehr mit einer authentischen, individuellen und wahnsinnig spannenden Geschichte.The secondary reason was towards the end I did get a little confused to Fallon’s heritage and that particular arc.

If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go. Chociaż byli i tacy bohaterowie, którzy bez kawy potrafili mi mocno podnieść ciśnienie i rozbudzić, abym mogła czytać dalej do 3-4 w nocy.Speaking of love, I had no idea it was possible to absolutely love a character that isn’t even in the first half of the book. Her switch is fast like others state but it’s because the band-aid is ripped off verses a slow progression.

Not for lack of trying, the men of Luce pale in comparison to Dante Regio- brother of the King and childhood first kiss to Fallon. It wasn’t a huge change but you could just tell, her energy by the end of the book was just different, stronger. But what really was the nail in the coffin was our FMC poking the CLOACA of a bird statue and not being able to tell if the crow checking out her naked body was a man because it didn’t have any genitalia. As long as you're not hurting/endangering yourself or others I won't be commenting on it because it's none of my business nor anyone else's. And not to mention every character conveniently adds into the plot in the most seamless and unproblematic way it makes no sense.Listen, there's a little bit of romance, but I think Olivia is pulling a Maas and showing us one love interest but giving our heroine another (better one). Enemies to lovers (kind of), forced proximity but a slow, slow burn not only on the romance side, but the story too. I felt the balance was fair across the board, the world building, the character development, the relationships, the plot.
