4/5
I read The Crow Folk over a year ago and finally got around to reading the sequels. After the events of the first book, Faye Bright is under instruction from the two local witches. However, when she saves a gang of Jewish children from a fire, she soon finds herself caught up in a magical war as well as the standard one.
- It was good to see Faye again and the other familiar characters from the first book. She's grown a little bit and felt more nature than I remembered. It was also good to see the other characters and how their dynamics are changing.
- The plot itself was actually very engaging and I found myself binge reading the last half of the book to know what happens next. I liked the little historical details scattered in too.
- Sometimes the dialogue felt a bit off and it brought me out of the story. Otherwise the book is well written and easy to consume and enjoy.
An enjoyable sequel. I look forward to reading more of Faye's adventures in The Ghost of Ivy Barn.
