![]() ![]() Talons was a fairly fast paced read but it also had times where you got to catch your breath and take stock. ![]() The Throne of Swans world has been one I’ve been so happy reading in despite book two not being a happy book as such. ![]() No spoilers here, you’re just going to have to read. There were some gutting and clever twists to the story but I was always hoping. The politics in the book weren’t onerous but they were all part of the strategy and plot development.Īdaryn, Aron, Odette and of course Lucien were the characters I was dying to find out what was happening with. I enjoyed reading the politics as Aderyn slowly and delicately considered and worked towards a place of equality for those of these lands. This sequel brought war, leadership wrangling, marriage difficulties, betrayal and so much eye-glued to the page. The world of A Throne of Swans is built on humans that can transform into birds of flight but also an under class of the flightless and I’ve loved that it’s a historical fantasy world. I knew where I was within a few pages and I was totally wrapped up in the story in those first few pages too. I didn’t have chance to re-read the first book before diving into A Crown of Talons but I needn’t have worried, these authors caught you back into the tale with ease and without repeating lots of info. How did I not realise this was a duology and not a series? I’m pretty pleased I got the culmination in book two and this was a pleasant realisation towards the end. ![]()
