Quick Guide Review of the Book and Notes
Book Title: Master of Crows
Author: Grace Draven
Narrator/ Available in audio: Jay Britton
Part of a Series: Book #1 of the Master of Crows series
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Synopsis: Martise - a slave to a powerful council mage - is sent to spy on Silhara of Neith - Master of Crows. Renowned, powerful, and dangerous sorcery not under the power of the council. He is being visited by the god Corruption who wants to use him as an avatar to re-enter the world.
Favorite Line in the Book:
Shani:
“You have a place here if you wish it. “ A place as what? A servant? …..”A companion, A lover,” he nibbled at her bottom lip and cupped the back of her head. “A beloved wife.”
Men are not prone to wax poetic over a womans voice when they can talk about her breast instead
Bridget:
He cupped the apple in his hand. Paring it into slices, he placed it on the table. He cleaned the knife on his trousers, turned and, quick as a striking serpent, buried the lethal tip in the back of her ex-lover’s hand where it rested on the table.
Favorite Review:
Shani:
Debra Johnson 3 stars
There are a couple of editing errors, but my biggest problem was the overly descriptive paragraphs of scenery. They were Numerous! It slowed the flow of the story down so much, I actually considered not finishing the book.
It drove me nuts!
The romance between Martise & Silhara has some really steamy action that is tastefully done. You can feel the love & respect between them.
All in all, once you get close to the 30% mark, it became a pretty good story.
Bridget:
Dino-Jess ✮ The Book Eating Dinosaur ✮ rated it it was ok
Shelves: y-do-i-do-dis, buddy-read, fantasy
This is a tough one..
I enjoyed the book as a whole, the writing style was flowery, the world building was well done and it was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages. BUT I could not stand Silhara, our leading man, who was nothing but a giant JERK.
Look. I am all for an asshole leading man. Just look at my love of Panty Melting Andrew, Dragos and Daemon. But Silhara. There was just something inherently wrong about him.
I’ve dubbed him King of the Backhanded Compliment.
