Initial Thoughts: It looks as if I never reviewed the first book in this duology, The Merciful Crow, which is a shame because it.is.amazing! With creative world building, a fast-paced plot, and incredibly high stakes, both books had me turning page after page to see what happens next, while Owen's cinematic sense of storytelling drew me wholly into Fie's world. Insightful questions about caste, destiny, duty, and other heavy topics on top of the stellar storytelling have me convinced Owen is an author to watch--and the book blogosphere has been sleeping on her for too long!
