The one thing about her (and this book as a whole) that stood out was her depression. Kalyn Josephson does not shy away from depicting the reality of living with depression.
The characters are really where this book shines. “I knew what I needed to do, but working up the will to do it felt like trying to fight my way above water in a depthless ocean. There’s a lot of world-building and character set up in the first few chapters, but it’s so worth pushing past that! I have to admit, the beginning of this book is a little slow. It took me a good hundred pages to really be immersed in the story, but once I got to that point, I just wanted to keep reading. It’s easy to jump in to, and accessible for anyone new to fantasy. I also am really excited to learn more about the magic in this world (and, of course, the Crows)( I really want my own Crow now). I really hope the sequel continues to shine a lot on each fascinating kingdom. They all have such unique cultures and politics, some of which is only ever hinted at.
Kalyn Josephson clearly spent a lot of time developing each kingdom mentioned in The Storm Crow.
