Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! How are you all today? I hope that everyone is safe during these crazy times!

Today is my stop in the « The Crow Rider » blog tour and I’m so excited to share my review with you guys. Disclaimer: A review copy of this book has been sent to me in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own!

I already participated in a past blog tour of the first book (The Storm Crow) and I absolutely loved that one already but I feel that the sequel has overthrown its predecessor and deserves more than 5 stars. Unfortunately I can only give it 5 stars because there exists no 10-star rating.

And now without further ado, let’s start. This review is going to be spoiler-free but there might be some spoilers from the first book in the synopsis. So if you haven’t read the first book yet I don’t recommend you to read this blog post.

Goodreads Synopsis:

The thrilling conclusion to the epic Storm Crow duology that follows a fallen princess as she tries to bring back the magical elemental crows taken from her people, perfect for readers who want fantasy books for teens.

Thia, her allies, and her crow, Res, are planning a rebellion to defeat Queen Razel and Illucia once and for all. Thia must convince the neighboring kingdoms to come to her aid, and Res’s show of strength is the only thing that can help her.

But so many obstacles stand in her way. Res excels at his training, until he loses control of his magic, harming Thia in the process. She is also pursued by Prince Ericen, heir to the Illucian throne and the one person she can’t trust but can’t seem to stay away from.

As the rebel group prepares for war, Res’s magic grows more unstable. Thia has to decide if she can rely on herself and their bond enough to lead the rebellion and become the crow rider she was meant to be.

Where should I start? I honestly don’t know. I’m still speechless after that ending. I finished the book half an hour ago and I’m still not sure what to say except that I loved every sentence and that I’m sad to know that this series is now over. What a great ending!

Like I mentioned in the review of the first book in this duology, the writing style of Josephson is just fantastic. She has her way of describing things that’s just amazing. Thia and Kiva are still my faves and that friendship is a hell of amazing! I still have nothing negative to say about the worldbuilding or the books in general.

The story is very fast-paced even more than in the first book and I liked that because it worked with the mission the group has to accomplish.

As you might notice I’m babbling nonsense so I will finish my review here but just remember this duology is worth reading! And it has an amazing ending. If you haven’t read the Storm Crow, then here is your friendly reminder to pick it up. It’s a hundred percent worth the try!
