The Seventh Crow by Sherry D. RamseyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
(Free copy from NetGalley in exchange for review)
This book was fabulous! A great book for tweens to young teens.
If you have/are a YA reader looking for heavy romance or dark events, this is not the book for them/you. It was very light. There are dangers, but you never feel that the characters are threatened beyond hope. It's perfect for readers that are looking for fun and adventure without all the seriousness of adult issues. I have a feeling, though, that the next book could contain much more complicated scenarios.
It gets started right away and you're just as confounded as Rosinda. Everything she discovers, you discover right with her. The cast of characters is varied and interesting. Rosinda sets off on a monumental adventure to save her kidnapped aunt on the advice of a pair of talking animals - a crow and a cat. She's joined by her neighbor, whom she barely knows, and meets up with a wolf who can speak to her mentally. It's outlandish and wonderful! To top it off, she has gods conspiring against her!
The world-building of Ysterad is fantastic. The descriptions of the scenery and folk who live there are phenomenal. At one point I was wishing it was a real place to visit and meet all the fascinating people who live there.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Sherry D. Ramsey.
