rayna Patton - Voya
old Katum Is Chooser For A Large Crow Family, Responsible For The Safety Of The Flock And The Teller Of Family History. Today He Tells Of A Migration In Which Terrible Disaster Threatened The Family. A Brash Young Crow Called Kyp Teased A Fierce Cat Named Red And Indirectly Caused The Death Of Another Crow. Kyp Initiated A Group Attack On The Killer Cat, An Action Not Sanctioned By The Family, And Was Temporarily Exiled. Days Later, A Devastating Spring Blizzard Threatened The Entire Family, And The Crows Needed Refuge From The Storm. Only Kyp And The Young Female Kym Had Workable Plans To Save The Family, And Each Plan Had Dangers. Kyp Led One Group Underground, A Most Uncrowlike Place, Where They Were Stealthily Followed By A Vengeful Red And Four Other Cats. Kym Sought Assistance From Humans, Although Every Crow Regards Humans As Unpredictable And Dangerous. Many Crows Fell Victim To The Storm, And Many Were Killed By Cats, But Most Survived, Finding Sacrifice, Help, And Leadership Where They Least Expected It. Beautifully Written, At Times Positively Lyrical, This Tale Takes Wing Like A Crow In Flight, With Style. Despite Implausibility In The Plot, The Crow Protagonists Have Real Personalities That Make The Reader Care About Them. The Character, Lore, And Mores Of The Family Enhance A Good Adventure Story. Look Forward To Two More Books In A Series Of Three, Feather And Bones: The Crow Chronicles.
