Master of Crows

Utter rubbish
I remember liking her Eidolon books, so decided to give this a try. Literally I just sighed in real life.

The worst offenders in this:
Cunnus
This word was introduced in the middle of a list of sexual things so when I first read it I assumed it implied some kind of annal sex, see evidence A "Images of him taking her in a myriad of ways, his cock sliding into her mouth, her cunnus, between her buttocks. " Cunnus is totally the love son of cunt and annus and nobody can't deny it. It means vagina, the author really reaaally didn't want to write vagina so this is the chosen word.
Maybe it's just me and I skipped that development stage in wich you search dirty words in a thesaurus and proceed to giggle ankwardly, but then, english is not my first language.

Power structure of the relashionship m/f
Martise is a slave in 98% of the book. Silhara didn't treat her like one at the start of the romantic relashionship but that doesn't make her a free woman since he is his Master. Also at the first hint of problems, instead of talking, he reverts to enforce this imbalance in power, asking her to call him master and being assholish again.

Unmemorability of the characters
In two weeks I'm not going to remember Marise or Silhara, maybe Gurn the mute helper since he was more interesting. I just didn't care much for them while I was reading, and everytime somebody remarked that the dog smelled bad I was just thinking when are they going to bathe him? Poor hound! You irresponsible pet owners. Spoiler alert Nobody washed the dog.
The thinks I liked: The oranges, the lych scenes, the demon dog.

Very meh. The romantic relationship between the two was lacking. Man was a huge selfish, asshole and never really redeemed himself. The “love” between the two seemed very one sided.

The plot and world itself was interesting but left me wanting more.
