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

Product Information

It reminds me of the first two books in the ACOTAR series, with a similar love interest but a different twist. Therefore, if you’re seeking this kind of character, “House of Beating Wings” is the perfect series for you. Furthermore, if you enjoyed “Fourth Wing,” you will love this book as well. It shares many common elements with our favourite dragon romance book. 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.”

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

With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. 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 BEST THING about this book was definitely the world-building. It was very well thought-out and I appreciated all the little details. I think the magic and the different cities/races were all well explained and kept me interested in the story. We kept learning more and more about the history and the different races and it was a nice and steady release of information.

The Kingdom of Crows Series by Olivia Wildenstein - Goodreads

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. They call him the Silent Death, because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…

Although Fallon undergoes a lot of growth throughout this book, she kind of annoyed me at the beginning (and middle) with her obsession with the prince (not a spoiler- it’s literally mentioned in the synopsis). However, I will say that I’m super glad that by the end of this novel, that was all done. That’s why I think the next installment will be better than this one— because we hopefully won’t have any more unnecessary love triangles (which, as we all know, I absolutely hate lol). I loved Fallon as and FMC, she is headstrong and independent and doesn´t care about others opinions of her while she is being her true self. Which also makes her a really honest and direct person. She is not your typical sword-swinging badass, but I loved her strong personality. What I also loved was the little touch of making her a vegetarian with her ever-present love for animals. The only thing that annoyed me about her a little bit sometimes was how naive she seemed to be in certain situations while to me, the reader, it seemed to be obvious. But hey, I guess that´s what love sometimes does to us, so can´t be too strict on that one.

This ability that only Lorcan (the crow) and Fallon share will continue in the other books and play a very important role . I'm starting to sincerely doubt that I read the same book as everyone else. 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.
