Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr by John Crowley
3.0
I really enjoyed the first 100 pages. To read a story solely from the POV of a crow was unique, it was like a biological character study and made me slow down. The prose was also very good.
The next 100 pages were difficult. The story did not progress much and when it did, everything had a "vague" feeling to it. I thought the crow was going to witness worlds history, instead he met some humans and accompanied them for some time. The crow learned words and concepts from the humans (like the realm of death) but its understanding was still quite limited.
At some point I lost interest in the story because of the vagueness.
