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

Product Information

Polubiłam Fallon ze wszystkimi jej wadami, naiwnością czy młodzieńczym zaślepieniem, ale to drugoplanowi bohaterowie, a zwłaszcza jeden gbur, całkowicie mnie oczarowali. Zarówno czytałam dla samej fabuły, niesamowicie wartkiej i wciągającej, jak i dla jednego z jej bohaterów. Chociaż byli i tacy bohaterowie, którzy bez kawy potrafili mi mocno podnieść ciśnienie i rozbudzić, abym mogła czytać dalej do 3-4 w nocy. After meeting her own Prince Charming—in a Parisian discotheque of all places—she decided to put fingers to keyboard and craft love stories for a living. None of her characters have ever met in a Parisian nightclub... as of yet.

Fallon is so stupid. Literally, she is just so dumb. Not even just child-like. She has absolutely no critical thinking skills and has no idea what deductive reasoning is. It's so much worse than just naivety. It was infuriating having this book told from her POV. All the other characters were so much more interesting and dynamic. If not for Fallon, this could have been a 5 star novel. Despite having a strained relationship with the fae, Fallon is good friends with the Prince of the Kingdom of Luce, Dante. Of course, she is deeply in love with him.

The romance in this book will keep you on your toes! It was brilliant how it all unfolded. I found myself vacillating between Antoni and Dante. I didn't know which one would be the right choice for Fallon and I liked them both for different reasons. But hold on, because a few somethings happened and my mind was reeling. The story took me somewhere that had my pulse pounding, I beyond ecstatic and it was absolutely genius! Fans of slow burn romance are going to love it! Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I’d go. jeśli tak samo jak ja kochacie slowburn romanse w fantastycznym świecie pełnym fae, morskich potworów, zdrad, intryg politycznych, 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." i will say though that i think this is a bit too long, especially for a first installment. i think some more editing revisions could have tighten up the narrative and fixed the pacing issues in the places where it feels slow.

As things continue to develop between them, a mysterious person seeks the aid of our heroine, asking her to retrieve some ancient relics in the form of crows. 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. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

If I'm being completely honest I was bored from the beginning. Something about the heroine and how naive she comes across made it really hard for me to root for her in any way. After a while, I realized that that's just how she's written. The romantic side plot is moving at a glacier's pace and I don't even know if I like the guy because he's barely in the story up to this point. The actual story is also at a standstill and has been for quite some time. It only just now started to start (which with how bored I already am is just too late in the book for me) The people she surrounds herself with, for the most part, either have an attitude toward her or are just plain mean or boring. The one thing I disliked about the heroine that left a bad taste in my mouth was how she went out of her way to s*ut shame and profession shame (the other woman was a sex worker) another woman because she was jealous. Like... I'm sorry but in this house, we don't shame other people for doing what they need to do to survive. Hell, if sex work is what someone wants to do go right ahead. As long as you're not hurting/endangering yourself or others I won't be commenting on it because it's none of my business nor anyone else's.

This came recommended by another author who's work I respect, and having read Wildenstein already I know they has proven themselves to be a fantastic writer with the first two books in the Angels of Elysium books, so I have no idea what happened here. One of my top reads for the whole year. This book was so captivating. I felt transported to another world instantly.

The writing is bad, the pace is bad, the characters are bad, the story had so much potential but was ruined by all the mentioned things. This needs an editor that will probably cut 80% of the book.

This is a strange one because while there isn't anything I overtly disliked, reading this felt like work. It was so supremely blah.A fantastical delight of a book, rich with its imagination and lush with its storytelling." - RUNYX, author of Gothikana Literally every single paragraph start with first person and a verb. There’s a whole bunch of telling but absolutely no showing. Yawn.
