The first book in Kalyn Josephson's "must-read" (Adrienne Young) Storm Crow duology, a YA fantasy series that follows a fallen princess who ignites a rebellion, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo and And I Darken.
Princess Thia was born to be a crow rider—a warrior. In her kingdom of Rhodaire, magical elemental crows keep the city running. But when the Illucian empire invades, they kill all the crows in a horrible fire that also robs Thia of her mother and mentor.
Then Thia's sister, Caliza, becomes the new queen of Rhodaire, she is forced to agree to a marriage between Thia and the Illucian heir in an effort to save her people. Prince Ericen is rude and cruel and Thia can't imagine traveling into the heart of an enemy city after so much has been taken from her.
But before she leaves, she finds a crow egg in the rubble of the rookery. Deep in the heart of Ilucia she must hatch the last crow, hold her own against the crown prince, and ignite a rebellion to take back what is hers.

Ok. I DNF'd this book at 50%. I feel bad, because I really wanted to like this book.
Unfortunatly I didn't care about the characters or the story itself. I did like the prologue!
I am so glad we got time with the crow! From the description, we know that there probably won't be a lot with the crows, but we do get some really good crow scenes. The unraveling or partial unraveling of Razel's plan was surprising and emotional. Thia becomes stronger in more than one way and I did like that. We are left at a good spot. It makes you want to go to the next book immediately. The romance subverts some tropes in a good way, but I don't love it. I am curious to see how the romance develops in the next one.
