House of Beating Wings (1) (The Kingdom of Crows)

Product Information

The first part of this book was boring. I was angry at Fallon for being so dumb. Couldn't bear her. But then when the world was slowly beginning to build, all of it made sense I mean it was so good!! The plot twists were amazing. I saw most of them coming but still it was enjoyable reading about them. The main character Fallon has no clear purpose or character growth, she just goes blindly into literally everything without a second of questioning. And not to mention every character conveniently adds into the plot in the most seamless and unproblematic way it makes no sense. Listen, there's a little bit of romance, but I think Olivia is pulling a Maas and showing us one love interest but giving our heroine another (better one). Don't hate me, but I disliked one from the start and I'm pretty sure he's going to be a thorn in my side in book two. I loved Fallon! She was brave, head strong, honest, had a good heart and loved her friends. Because of her rounded ears, she was discriminated against and it hurt my heart. Yet there was so much more to Fallon than meets the eye. She could supposedly charm the beasts that lived in their waters. And one of them captured my heart, I was just as nervous for his fate and I was for Fallon's. I was also so nervous for Fallon because she seemed to have all of her faith and trust in Dante. And as her Grandma reminded her, they could never be. Yet the key to her future revolved around releasing the crows, so we jumped head first into a spellbinding adventure with Fallon! Here is the thing. I like certain aspects of this book. I think the world is so incredibly fascinating and well described, and the plot is intricate and thought through.

House of Beating Wings In-Depth Review | FETL House of Beating Wings In-Depth Review | FETL

If there was anything I'd learned, it's that the man never chooses the woman. All he can do is give her an opportunity to choose him.” This was very refreshing fantasy book. I really liked it, but it felt a little less maybe it's with the fact that this was the first book in the series. However, I must say that the last 25% or so were so thrilling that I really started to enjoy the story despite the MC being annoying. I’m not sure how much the pain of going through the first half of the book is worth it though… This is one of the closest feeling to meeting rhys and A Court of Mist and Fury that I’ve found. Very parallel to that — so if you loved ACOMAF, I think you’ll love this! A wonderful, addictive tale that left me in awe and rooting for these fantastic characters!" - Candace Robinson

Other than that, we do get some romance. Well, hints of a horrible love triangle. Spoiler alert: I didn't like either guy. I feel like she should leave them both in the dust and go off with the bird. Just saying. I feel like she would be happier, and I would be too. Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one. However… what ruins almost the entire book for me… is the MC. I’m sorry to say but she was so incredibly naive and stubborn, and could not see so many “plot twists” that were legit right in front of her!! There are so many connections that took her ages to realize while I feel like we as readers could see it from a mile away…

The plot has fantastic potential but it's execution is sloppy and poorly explained, leaving confusing and awkwardly paced world building. The first 40 to 50 percent of the story is pure filler with basically nothing going on. The characters are unlikable, and there are so many of them added in with no purpose it leaves for a mind boggling game of memory to remember who is who. I've never trusted collaborations, because most people in this world are not closers. They don't finish what they start; they don't live what they dream; they sabotage their own progress because they're afraid they won't find what they seek.” Reyna’s friends were supposed to be safe in the Shadow Court, but she has enemies everywhere. And unless Mazrith forgives her, he will join that number.While I found this quite hard to get into at the start, mostly because Fallon was annoying me, I really enjoyed it as soon as the crow turned up from about 1/3 of the way through! I went from really disliking Fallon to loving her and how fearless and brave she is! That’s character development if you ask me. This ability that only Lorcan (the crow) and Fallon share will continue in the other books and play a very important role . And the 'War scene' it was so perfectly done!!🤌 I mean it has been ages scene I've seen a good well build war scene or fighting scene where everything is taken slowly and there is desperation in our hearts that if the mmf or fmc are going to survive or no. Yeah, Loved that about this book. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book four in her Blood and Ash series.

BUT IN A MAGICAL REALM PLAGUED BY DECEPTION, THE ONLY THING HER WORLD KNOWS IS TURMOIL.

Maas and Piper CJ. I do have a lot of respect for this author, and have absolutely LOVED some of her previous books. Unfortunately however, this one did not hit the mark for me…. I was too annoyed by the MC although I am VERY intrigued by the male character we get introduced to later… I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, provided by the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.* Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I’d never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears.

House of Beating Wings | Olivia Wildenstein

I’ve stolen a mythical, murderous creature. I shudder as the depth of what I’ve done folds over me like dark water. Olivia didn’t start writing right away after college; she first got herself into the jewelry business and later decided to put her knowledge in literature to good use. There were so many amazing shoot offs Wildenstein could have explored here, but she ignored a grand total of all of them and chose to waste readers time with silly things. - Don't get me started on the weird "you should sell your virginity" path we headed down for no reason." House of Beating Wings” is an adult fantasy romance, so you can expect swearing, intense scenes, and yes… spice . This isn’t a self-discovery story of a teenage r; our Fallon is a mature woman in her twenties who knows what she wants and has experience with boys.

And I don’t even wanna touch on the whole love triangle situation because it infuriated me like nothing else I have ever experienced. Yes . House of Beating Wings by Olivia Wilderstein is a Trilogy and is COMPLETE. The Series name is “Kings of Crows”
