There is a lot of humor throughout the book as well, which only adds to its awesomeness. This ends up being a benefit to her in dealing with all the strangeness that defines the Others, she doesn’t know what normal is so she just takes it all in stride and tries to be kind to everyone. She’s never lived out in the real world before, so there are funny things that she just doesn’t understand. She has gone through a lot but still has an innocence about her. All of them have mysterious pasts and are just a treat to read about. You have ponies that are Elementals, young women who are Seasons, werewolves, vampires, Crow girls, and even creatures that the Others don’t completely understand. There are quite a few characters here, but Bishop does such a wonderful job introducing them that it’s not hard to keep track of them all. I loved, loved, loved this book.Įvery character in this book is fascinating. The world building was wonderful and complex, the characters were incredibly interesting, and the plot was solid and well done. This was a spectacular urban fantasy read. What follows is an interesting story where Meg is trying to make a living among the Others while eluding the evil people who want her back as property. Simon Wolfgard, who leads this group of others, hires her on. Meg ends up in a Courtyard of the Others and applies for a job there as a Human Liaison for the Others. Meg Corbyn is a blood prophet, she has fled the facility where she was kept and sold cut by cut for prophecy. The second book in this series, Murder of Crows, is scheduled for a March 2014 release date. This was a spectacular read, the characters were fascinating, the world building was spectacular I just really really loved this book. I got this book to review through the Amazon Vine program, so thank you to Roc and Amazon for providing it for review. Previously I have read The Black Jewels series by Bishop and absolutely loved it. This is the first book in the new Others series by Bishop. Stand Alone or Series: 1st book in the Others series
