Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ALC of When Among Crows by Veronica Roth. All opinions are my own. 

My only experience with Veronica Roth’s writing was reading the Divergent series years ago. I absolutely loved Divergent, so I wanted to give this book a try. Plus, the synopsis for this story sounded super interesting! 

That being said, this book just wasn’t memorable for me. The only parts that stand out to me a few days after finishing the book are the parts where there was gore. I remember these because they made me feel a bit queasy. 

This isn’t a bad book, but I feel like there’s a reason that most fantasy books are not novellas unless they’re part of a series. I just didn’t get attached to these characters. They were fine, and maybe I would’ve loved them more if they were part of a longer book or series. 

The setting was interesting, and I do feel like I could picture the world considering that this book didn’t have the length for elaborate world-building. 

Overall, this book was okay. I think some people may really love it, but I don’t think I would really recommend it to a lot of people.
