You had me at "Death Talker"
In the Hour of Crows was a bingeable treat for me. I was immediately engrossed in this small, Appalachian town of Black Fern. The vibes were everything; dark and shrouded in superstition yet somehow warm and homey. The writing was beautiful and forlorn.
It wasn't hard for me to become overly invested in Weatherly and her heart that beats fiercely for her family and friends. Finding justice for her cousin, Adaire, was a need.
The magics are subtle and believable; a sticky web of earth, soul, and religion.
And let's not forget about The Crow and the yearning.
I'd be shocked if this doesn't get adapted to screen.
Elmendorf has sold me on any future endeavors.
