Week 17 Review: The Faithless Hawk

From Goodreads:

Kings become outcasts and lovers become foes in The Faithless Hawk, 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.

My Review:
Yeah, wow, I loved reading this book! It was an amazing end to the duology, so much changed, and it was an epic read! After the events of the first book, they were in a pretty good position to rebel-it just turns out the enemy had a few tricks up their sleeves!

This book brought out all the feels in me. I loved these characters in the first book, and things were so tough in this one. There were so many moments of high tension, so many moments of heartbreak, of sadness, and I loved them all! 

Man, there were so many reveals in this book! The big one being the truth behind the plague, and what it's going to cost to fix it. But there were others, and they were all so amazing, and I just couldn't put this book down! I had to know what was going to happen next! 

That ending though, was utterly wonderful. It brought together everything, and I loved watching it play out! It was just so clever, and action packed, with everything going on, and I loved what it meant for this world and these characters going forward! 

Absolutely loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Margaret Owen!
