Sabrina Davidson: Book Review: The Falconar

Hi everyone,

I recently finished The Falconar by Elizabeth May. I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review. Another bookish thing you can check out is my September TBR 2020 and August wrap up on TikTok @brinadancer to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I also have up a book haul of books I've recently gotten over there as well. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video.

Hopping on in to the review. I started this book the last day of our vacation and it's taken me forever to read. I didn't give up though which is good since I'm glad I finished it but I don't see what the hype was all about. I was totally expecting something completely different. I think the concept of the Falconar is pretty cool and I do like the fea but I don't think that the steampunk translated very well. I did like the tea set invention though. This one was just so long and Aileana was so caught up in revenge that there wasn't room for more of a story or romance interest. I wanted her so bad to focus on something other than her mothers death and do something. It was really like she was whinny about it. Not my favorite at all.

I did enjoy the male characters of Kiran and Gavin. They were good balances since the main character was not the best. I definitely wanted Aileania to be interested in either of these which she slightly is but not entirely which was a bit frustrating.

If you'd read this book what are your thoughts Id love to know. Do you think its worth the hype or not?

Overall I'm glad I made it though this one but I don't think I'll continue on with the series. I don't want another 2 books of her being obsessed with her mothers death and a love triangle that goes no where. So I would say I wouldn't recommend this one, I think for me this falls in that Stealing Snow which I also have a review up for if you wanna check that out. This is just my opinion though. If you enjoyed this book that's awesome!

Lastly, if your looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And A Storm of Magic and many more through out my blog.

Thanks for reading, please don’t forget to like, comment, and follow for more of my posts.

As always,
