Great book, can't wait to read the next ones! ( )

Oh, how I loved this world, where people were in contact with the spirit world, and each person had an animal spirit to guide them, and to help others.

Rhia is truly an extraordinary young woman! She was afraid of her gift, and had to deal with the guilt that came because of it. However, when she finally chose to embrace it, she showed both strength and weakness, confidence and insecurity. And she continued to be true to herself as she grew.

I loved how she was with Arcas, but was even happier with how she develped and became more mature, and loving with Marek.

Her relationships with others were like they are for actual people as well, sometimes, we are scared when we meet new people, and JSR really coined that awkwardness that can arise when we move to a new place.

The war scenes were truly amazing, I felt like I was running around with Rhia when the fighting was at its' peak, and I was searching for Marek with her.

I am now on my way to amazon to get the next installment for my kindle - presto! ( )

I just couldn't get into this one.

I originally hadn't planned on reading this book. Mostly because it didn't seem like my thing. But in the end I'm really glad I read it. I enjoyed it very much,more than I thought I would. Thanks Amy! :) Jeri Smith-Ready has created a wonderfully unique world. Rhia's journey in accepting the crow is an amazing emotional ride. I teared up few times while reading it. Rhia's relationships between both Arcas & Marek were both intense. But I have to say I like Marek alot better than Arcas. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I highly recommend this book especially if you love Fantasy. ( )

This book is Amazing!!!!

This book is about people who get their animal spirit that gives them powers to do what that person is really good at better. As the people gain more experience their spirits give them more powers to do what they are meant to do. Rhia is the main character with a crow spirit which means that she can help spirits of dead people get to heaven. The reason Rhia accepts her Animal spirit is because she couldn't help her mom's spirit pass because she really didn't want to be a crow.

This book is brilliantly written and the world of where Rhia and all the other characters live is being brought to life. the whole book shows how Rhia deals with her powers and learns more about other peoples powers depending on what stage they are in their lives and what city they come from. ( )
