My Review
When I read the synopsis for The Storm Crow I was intrigued. I really loved the writing! I thought the characters were well written. I think the giant crows was a very unique idea. I enjoyed this book but I do wish there was a little more world building. I was very excited about the crows but they kinda got pushed aside. I’m hoping book 2 will have more about them. Overall, this was a quick, interesting read.
My Favorite Quotes
“Be careful. You’re dangerously close to sounding like this girl I used to know. Tongue as sharp as a crow’s talons, menace to authorities everywhere, about this tall.”
I’d pushed unwaveringly, and when I had met a wall. I’d shattered it.
They were like wolves looking for a weak spot, their postures rigid in preparation to strike and scramble up the ranks.
His eyes, normally bright as the sun on the ocean, looked dull. Like something was missing.
AUTHOR INFORMATION
Kalyn Josephson is a Technical Writer in Silicon Valley, which leaves room for too many bad puns about technically being a writer. She grew up in San Luis Obispo, CA, but now lives in the Bay Area with four awesome friends (because it’s the Bay and she’d like to be able to retire one day) and two black cats (who are more like a tiny dragon and an even tinier owl). When not writing YA Fantasy, she loves baking, reading, playing sports, and watching too many movies.
