It’s not hard to sus out which characters we should be wary of and which direction the plot was gonna move. I was lowkey just waiting for the MC to catch up with what I assume most readers had already suspected from the start. Fallon was a magicless halfling who was given a prophecy, free the crows and they will make you queen. Being loathed by the full blooded fae, Fallon was intrigued to go above her station. Especially since she saw a chance with having a future with her friend, Dante. Who was brother to the crown. Fallon's world was changed forever when she started her quest to free the crows!

Fallon is a girl looked down upon in society. Working at the tavern, not a brothel, she has seen the worst of the worst when it comes to men. Known as the “serpent charmer”, everyone stays on edge wondering what if she truly has powers, even though she says otherwise. And watching her character grow through the book was done perfectly.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). And I don’t even wanna touch on the whole love triangle situation because it infuriated me like nothing else I have ever experienced.

Fallon is so stupid. Literally, she is just so dumb. Not even just child-like. She has absolutely no critical thinking skills and has no idea what deductive reasoning is. It's so much worse than just naivety. It was infuriating having this book told from her POV. All the other characters were so much more interesting and dynamic. If not for Fallon, this could have been a 5 star novel. The romance in this book will keep you on your toes! It was brilliant how it all unfolded. I found myself vacillating between Antoni and Dante. I didn't know which one would be the right choice for Fallon and I liked them both for different reasons. But hold on, because a few somethings happened and my mind was reeling. The story took me somewhere that had my pulse pounding, I beyond ecstatic and it was absolutely genius! Fans of slow burn romance are going to love it! Ready to fall in love?

Other than that, we do get some romance. Well, hints of a horrible love triangle. Spoiler alert: I didn't like either guy. I feel like she should leave them both in the dust and go off with the bird. Just saying. I feel like she would be happier, and I would be too. This came recommended by another author who's work I respect, and having read Wildenstein already I know they has proven themselves to be a fantastic writer with the first two books in the Angels of Elysium books, so I have no idea what happened here. The Author Resource Round Table on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/116489?group_id=26989 House of Beating Wings was a very good first book . The writing and description of the world were on point, and the characters were properly developed. You can clearly tell there is a major plot planned behind the scenes, and the author knows where the characters are headed.

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

And the 'War scene' it was so perfectly done!!🤌 I mean it has been ages scene I've seen a good well build war scene or fighting scene where everything is taken slowly and there is desperation in our hearts that if the mmf or fmc are going to survive or no. Yeah, Loved that about this book. Here is the thing. I like certain aspects of this book. I think the world is so incredibly fascinating and well described, and the plot is intricate and thought through. Fallon slowly falling in love with Lorcan without OW/OM drama and slowly learning to trust him and his people. I’ve stolen a mythical, murderous creature. I shudder as the depth of what I’ve done folds over me like dark water.After meeting her own Prince Charming—in a Parisian discotheque of all places—she decided to put fingers to keyboard and craft love stories for a living. None of her characters have ever met in a Parisian nightclub... as of yet. THE ROMANCE WITH the real love interest didn’t really start until over halfway through the book. Honestly, I question his sanity because I don’t know how he can be even remotely interested in Fallon. Because of their mind connection, he could read all her thoughts, and boy did she have a lot of dumb thoughts. If I had to listen to her incessant daydreaming about Dante and how she’s going to marry him and be queen all day long then I would definitely NOT be interested. But I guess she’s probably BeaAuTiFUl so why would a personality matter 🤡 Olivia is the byproduct of a meet-rude in a Parisian discotheque that turned into an epic love story spanning several decades. Naturally, this shaped the way she viewed romance. The plot FINALLY started to get interesting around 60% and I started liking the story again, but the MC still made me wanna scream at her to open her eyes :)))

House of Beating Wings ended up being a pretty fun book to dive into. I will admit, though, at times it did feel like nothing was truly happening. At least the ending made up for those parts because I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel! Polubiłam Fallon ze wszystkimi jej wadami, naiwnością czy młodzieńczym zaślepieniem, ale to drugoplanowi bohaterowie, a zwłaszcza jeden gbur, całkowicie mnie oczarowali. Zarówno czytałam dla samej fabuły, niesamowicie wartkiej i wciągającej, jak i dla jednego z jej bohaterów. Chociaż byli i tacy bohaterowie, którzy bez kawy potrafili mi mocno podnieść ciśnienie i rozbudzić, abym mogła czytać dalej do 3-4 w nocy. I do have a lot of respect for this author, and have absolutely LOVED some of her previous books. Unfortunately however, this one did not hit the mark for me…. I was too annoyed by the MC although I am VERY intrigued by the male character we get introduced to later… Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I’d go. Lorcan: 😍😍😍stop I love him so much. He’s the BEST. MY PRECIOUS. maybe I could steal him from Fallon...Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books.
