Synopsis:
An orphan sailed across the night sky, witnessed only by the white face of the moon. He dropped down silently onto the world below, his three crows flew in an arc above him. They were his only friends; the only ones he spoke too.
The orphan shivered, remembering his dream from last night; the same dream that haunted him every night for the past eight years. The same dream in which he remembered his old life. The same dream in which he first saw the Spinning Man. The first dream in which he witnessed his parents pushing him out the window of their two-story house.
REVIEW:
The orphan boy in the book is called Caw. Caw lost everything eight years ago when he was just five years old. He lost his mother, his father, his house, his childhood and any chance of ever living a normal life. Instead, Caw went to live with the crows in Blackstone Park. On that dark night eight years ago, he realized something: he could speak to the crows. And they could speak to him.
But, as hard as Caw's life is, its about to get worse. An unknown warner saves him, his dream reveals more than it ever has before and the whole police force of Blackstone City is hunting him. How did he get himself into this mess? Well, for one he's a Feral. And two, he had the unfortunate help of a thirteen year old redhead called Lydia.
The book's plot was twisted and unpredictable, making it quite fun to read. With the right combination of fear, joy, power and betrayal, Jacob Grey has provided us with an ingenious masterpiece.
I personally enjoyed the whole background story of the Ferals and the Spinning Man. It was like a well written web of climaxes, hints and a slight thread of death. I rate this book a 5/5.
