So, what am I to do with this one?
Part 1 was pretty cool, and I was excited to read the second part. I had some aspects that I wanted more info on and hoped for The Crow Rider to answer all the questions I had.
Well, the second installment didn't quite deliver. There were some cool moments but overall I didn't love the novel.
Unfortunately, most of my questions went unanswered. In terms of worldbuilding, I am intrigued but I still don't know much about the whole crow concept. There are moments where we explore the different powers a bit more but overall and I am still a bit confused. Sure, there is a glossary at the end of the book with some explanations, but I wish that was included in the story instead.
What we get instead is an abundance of battle scenes. While those were well written, I grew weary of them after a while. There were too many war scenes and it's simply tiresome to read one after the other. This is one of those things that usually simply work better on screen than on paper.
I also was rather annoyed with the love story. I wish we could do just one novel without that. It seemed completely unnecessary and didn't really add anything to the story.
