A review by dead_vole_jumpscare
Gold Wings Rising by Alex London

3.75

ok so i think it did a good job of staying pretty consistent in terms of quality, though it was kinda meandering at times. nyall

deserved better, but also should have respected kylee's rejection

, and also also i could not read his name without thinking "one direction," which i've never even really been into (*tucks hair behind ears, ~quirkily~*). didn't affect the review lol but just a note. jowyn is still best character, the ghost eagle mythology was cool. the writing was ok, and i highly appreciated the bird puns. however, it just somehow wasn't enraptoring like i wish it had been. but, to quote some rando on goodreads: "i'm so happy an author published a gay fantasy book about birds."
