The Crow Rider

​The thrilling conclusion to the epic Storm Crow duology that follows a fallen princess as she tries to bring back the magical elemental crows taken from her people, perfect for readers who want fantasy books for teens.
Thia, her allies, and her crow, Res, are planning a rebellion to defeat Queen Razel and Illucia once and for all. Thia must convince the neighboring kingdoms to come to her aid, and Res's show of strength is the only thing that can help her.
But so many obstacles stand in her way. Res excels at his training, until he loses control of his magic, harming Thia in the process. She is also pursued by Prince Ericen, heir to the Illucian throne and the one person she can't trust but can't seem to stay away from.
As the rebel group prepares for war, Res's magic grows more unstable. Thia has to decide if she can rely on herself and their bond enough to lead the rebellion and become the crow rider she was meant to be.

My review

~I was gifted a copy from the publishers - all opinions are my own~

I give it - 5/5

My review - I really enjoyed how this story ended. It is such a fun concept and a really interesting story line that will keep the reader gripped from the very beginning. 
​
This book follows off from the events of the first book, The Storm Crow, following Thia, Res and her friends on a journey to try and get other kingdoms to join her and fight Queen Razel and Illucia. I HIGHLY recommend reading the first one as this duology is just fantastic. It was so fun and I really enjoyed reading about the characters and this journey and fight they where on. 

Thia learns a lot in this book and she is also trying to show everyone she isn't her mother's daughter and to show everyone what she can do. Convincing  everyone is going to be hard but she is determined to fight this fight. 

I love Thia. She is not a perfect main character but, she does suffer with mental health and I think it was done really well in this book. It doesn't magically go away but she does do things to remind herself she is worth it and I really enjoy that part of the book. She is a very relatable character. 

This book is so interesting and a great way to end a wonderful duology. If you haven't read the first one I can't recommend it enough as this second one will take you on a journey you won't regret. Kalyn has created an amazing world with this book and the relationship between Thia and Res is so cute. I love the magic, the bond between crows and riders it is so different from any other fantasy I've read.

A very fun book!
