About this item

"A fantastical delight of a book, rich with its imagination and lush with its storytelling." - RUNYX, author of Gothikana

FREE THE CROWS, FALLON, AND THEY WILL MAKE YOU QUEEN.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one.

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.

If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Mary E. Pearson will devour this epic fantasy romance full of deceit, betrayal, and false loves that could swallow a person whole.

Absolutely amazing

This series is captivating and I am anxiously waiting for book 4 to come out. Book one doesn't have spice but it gets spicier as the series goes on. There is complex world building and strong characters. I highly recommend for those who are looking for a fantasy romance.

A start to a series.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one. I love the characters, they're well thought out and have some depth to them. The story is great, well-developed and engaging. Definitely a story that shows a young woman coming into her own while struggling to keep those she loves happy but out of harms way. I only give it four stars because it ends abruptly and there are still a ton of unanswered questions. But I guess that means you have to read the rest of the series to get answers. if I could give it four and a half stars I would.

Good Story Line

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024

The world building is nicely done, giving a clear picture of the divide between pure fae, halflings, and humans.

My first thought on the FMC, Fallon, was: she knows what path she wants to walk and is empathetic to the life of animals and those around her.
Reading further into the book, she got annoying. Her naivety or refusal to see the truth when it comes to Dante was irky. She seemed to continuously make excuses for him rather than take the truth for what it is. Fallon also was a bit slow to pick up on clues that laid important information right out in front of her, which was irritating because how can the lead be so fickle? Hopefully, she comes into her own as she finds out more about herself.

The side characters, Antoni, Sybille, and Phoebus, were interesting from the little bit of appearances they had. I hope they get more time in the following books.

Morrgot (Lore) and Fallon have a connection that I believe is more than what she realizes it is. I am intrigued as to how she will respond when she finally figures it out and how they will do as a couple.

Overall, the book was drawn out, but the storyline is very interesting, and I look forward to the adventures in the following and next book.

the plot is good, the fantasy of it all is fun

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024

What is keeping me going with this series is the plot and fantasy elements. I want to keep learning more about the Crows. The magic system and history of them is super interesting. Hope we learn more about the other kingdoms too in further books.

Lore is an interesting character. There’s definitely a lot we still don’t know and I have a feeling there are people we are supposed to trust that we shouldn’t. I can’t wait to learn more about him and his people though!

Dante is… ugh MAJOR EYE ROLL the whole book. How Fallon was blind to him is beyond me. I could tell right away he was just a dirtbag. But I get it, first loves die hard.

That leads me to Fallon. I almost DNF’d this book multiple times because of her. One thing I do not personally like is when authors do the whole accidentally think out loud thing. Fallon does this a lot. Just have it part of the dialogue for crying out loud. Instead it just makes for awkward unnecessary moments. Also she’s supposed to be 22 but i felt like i was reading more like a teenager in this entire book. The way she was such a lovesick puppy over Dante got old SO fast. Even when she grew a backbone and he showed his true colors she maintain loyalty to this dude.. like what? Her naivety was off the charts. And this girl has zero critical thinking skills. The amount of times I called her an idiot is too many. So many things were laid out for her.. dots just ready to be connected.. and she’s putting square pegs in round holes. I PRAY that she grows a real backbone in book 2, that she gains some common sense and critically thinks, and stops blindly giving her loyalty to that douche canoe Dante.

Great Storytelling

5 Stars!

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024

I will be the first to say that the FMC in this drove me crazy, but after reading this book and the other two… wow. Her development is incredible. There have been so many popular series that I’ve had to force myself to finish because the authors voice, writing style, or main characters grated my nerves. But this? This isn’t one of them. I highly highly recommend this series to literally anyone who loves the fated mates, found family, and slow burn tropes. Olivia does all of those and does them impeccably.
