Welp. I was about to behave myself. NO. SERIOUSLY. I SWEAR. And then I saw that the cover for The Faithless Hawk, sequel to The Merciful Crow, by Margaret Owen had dropped.
That was it! Holy hell broke loose. The behaving went out the window. Just read the tagline, below! What do you

Synopsis:
Kings become outcasts and lovers become foes in the thrilling sequel to Margaret Owen’s The Merciful Crow.
As the new chieftain of the Crows, Fie knows better than to expect a royal to keep his word. Still she’s hopeful that Prince Jasimir will fulfill his oath to protect her fellow Crows. But then black smoke fills the sky, signaling the death of King Surimir and the beginning of Queen Rhusana’s merciless bid for the throne.
With the witch queen using the deadly plague to unite the nation of Sabor against Crows—and add numbers to her monstrous army—Fie and her band are forced to go into hiding, leaving the country to be ravaged by the plague. However, they’re all running out of time before the Crows starve in exile and Sabor is lost forever.
A desperate Fie calls on old allies to help take Rhusana down from within her own walls. But inside the royal palace, the only difference between a conqueror and a thief is an army. To survive, Fie must unravel not only Rhusana’s plot, but ancient secrets of the Crows—secrets that could save her people, or set the world ablaze.
Ok so don’t shout at me but I still need to pick up Storm Crow. I know, it’s on my never ending list of books you’ve told me to read ????
I’m not going to shout at you for that but can I shout at you since storm Crow has nothing to do with this post? ????
Ooh, that tag line sounds really good! I still need to read Merciful Crow ????but what’s new there since I basically still have to read 90% of all the popular releases from this year! Haha I’ve heard some pretty good things about it though so hopefully it doesn’t take me too long to pick it up!
I did love it but not for the typical reasons… check out my review (lord that sounds so stupid like i should say winkity wink wink after it) lol
Sorry not sorry? Haha ????
Exactly!!!
this sounds like a fun feature especially because my GR TBR shelf is HUGE so I would always have plenty to choose from. This one for example is there and I’m dying to read it too! 🙂
I just started doing it and it is so much fun except I am not behaving and I’m doing books that while on my TBR shelves havent come out yet. So they really belong in my can’t wait post lol
LOL It’s way to hard to behave 🙂
