Originally reviewed here.Why I Read It: After being pleasantly surprised (bit of an understatement) with Blackbringer, I immediately (I mean that literally) picked this up and devoured it. Spoiler-free review ahead (though there are spoilers for Blackbringer, so beware of that)!THESE BOOKS!! I love ...
by Laini TaylorIn this sequel to Blackbringer, Taylor returns to the story of Magpie and Talon, while also weaving in the stories of several new characters.Yay! I loved this book.

Our heroine Magpie is still scruffy and foul-mouthed, questing with crows. In Silksinger, we’re introduced t...
3.5 stars for such inconclusive ending.Ach, my sprouts! Hirik and Whisper, Talon and Magpie. All the crows are back, though we lose Bertram and I missed Magpie's friend. I just love Laini Taylor's style! I knew immediately that Hirik was Mothmage. And it took no longer than noting Talon's dislike of...
