I am such a huge fan of the sub-genre, and I sat up and paid attention when the book opens by talking about these amazing crows (I imagine they must be the size of a griffon, at least), each able to manipulate a different ability. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the use of elemental magic. I binged these books so fast! I was really intrigued by the world and the magic and the mechanics and just.everything. But then the final book came out, and I had so many friends talking about how good it was, and I had just started dipping my toes in the waters of fantasyland again, so I figured, why not? And man, on man. And this year has been a bust due to the pandemic - my brain just hasn't been able to world-build, so I've stayed away from fantasy. I was even fortunate enough to meet the author at the Book Expo conference and get a signed copy! Then, of course, it's a tale as old as time: Summer slump, followed by a ton of books I had to read for work that took me pretty much to the holidays.
