Quite The Novel Idea ~ Words from the Clouds4.5 starsI know a lot of my bookish friends didn't enjoy the first book, Ferals, a lot, but I for one loved it SO MUCH. Caw became one of my favorite characters ever and I just fell in love with it. So naturally I was a bit scared the sequel wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it did! Because I loved it a whole lot and I wasn't disappointed.The Swarm Descends furthers Caw's story while re-introducing us to all the known characters and mixing in totally new ones. The writing is still SO great and it reads so fast! I read this book in one sitting in two and a half hours. I couldn't put it down even for a second. Suffice to say it does not suffer from Second Book Syndrome. And the characters, so much love for all of them! I loved seeing Crumb, Pip and Lydia again and the crows Glum and Screech. I also liked the new characters Selina, the crow Shimmer and our new villain, the Mother of Flies (I hate flies), and her minions were terrific. But most of all I loved Caw. I love seeing him grow and learn and I just adore him period. He's still one of my favorite characters and I can't wait to see where he goes next!The Swarm Descends is a great sequel to Ferals. It's engaging, fun and builds the overall world and lore of the Ferals. If you liked the first book, definitely check this one out. If you didn't, try it anyway! You might end up enjoying it more. I wish I could find the author on Social Media so I can gush about his books, but he's nowhere to be found. (Pulling a JD Salinger, eh?) Anyway, can't wait to read the third book. Check this out if you're looking for a great new Middle Grade series!

** spoiler alert ** I'm about to share spoilers here!I really enjoyed the first book, but futher the story gets even better. More devious villains, slightly more complexed characters and even more animals to meet! I know it's middle grade read, but I enjoyed it so much 🖤As the Caw adventures continue - you see how strong that boy want to do good. He is so loyal to both of his homeless friends and his crow, Lydia as well. Yet, this poor orphan is so fast to trust people and he wants nothing more than family. I think that's why he trusted Selina over and over again. Even when she betrayed them several times. Caw chooses to find good in people if there is any of that. Also, I admire how he was ready to die to save a Midnight stone just because it's his family legacy. And even then the boy did anything he could to protect Lydia and Selina, even his crow. I just think that Caw is a good role model not even for boys, but for girls as well. Moreover, this book shows strong young girls, not let them just "swing" in the back. And it's not just them. Every character is one of the kind, have his/her own charm and makes you remember them. I think even it's a series for younger audience - story is well thought. Characters build beautifully and nothing feels out of order. Both villains and good talkers seems equally strong and because of that sorry don't get boring! So, if you love fantasy - give this 13th year old crow talker a chance and read about his adventures. I loved it, maybe you will too 😉

O continuare pe măsura primului volum a aventurilor lui Caw, Băiatul-care-vorbește-cu-corbii, care acum are de înfruntat un adversar și mai de temut: Mama Muștelor. Aventuri peste aventuri, prieteni dispuși să facă orice sacrificiu și un artefact încredințat lui Caw de un bărbat misterios, de la care pornește totul. De-abia aștept să citesc și volumul trei, apărut nu demult în engleză, și să văd cum se încheie aventurile lui Caw și ale prietenilor săi corbi. Mai multe, pe FanSF: http://wp.me/pz4D9-2A1.

Caw is not finished with adventures, this time it begins when a mysterious man give him a stone. He tells Caw that he had been entrusted with the stone by Caw's mother who instructed him to give it to Caw and have Caw keep it secret.The problem is that there is a new feral villain in town who will do anything to get the stone from Caw. Caw and his friend Lydia along with new companion Selina have to learn what the stone is for and how they can use it to defeat the Mother of the Flies. This series has lots of creepy scenes and the action never stops. Caw is a great character who has a deep sense of honor and a deep desire to protect his fellow ferals. Not bad for a young teenager who was raised by crows after the deaths of his parents and who has just recently learned to interact with humans and other ferals. Fans of the first book will be glad to see Caw having new adventures along with his crow companions.

Como es un libro Middle Grade lo califico como tal.Este libro creo que tiene el mismo grado que el anterior, es un buen libro para niños y adolescentes que quieren entrar en un mundo simplemente bien construido.Algunos personajes secundarios quedan algo poco profundos, se nota el crecimiento en la madures intelectual que le pone el autor al protagonista y esto hace que uno se crea un poco más el personaje.El ritmo es igual al libro anterior y para mí es bueno, por lo que todavía entretiene y señala pequeñas cosas de la vida.

so here i am, with the second book....God i never know how to start a review :/okay, i'll start with saying that The Swarm Descends was as lovely as Ferals the first book, we had a new crow, i still love Screech more though ;)well it was nothing complex, as yummy and cup cakey as the previous book, and sometimes through the book i felt the lack of depth, you know, like more background for the events or people in the story, also some parts it didn't feel psychologically correct, some reactions were a little shallow , i'll give you a for instance: imagine after about 20 years you tell your wife/husband you can talk to animals, no one gets angry right away, at first they might laugh for a bit, then ask you about your health, then they might become reaaally amazed at your powers, and after a considerably long period of understanding and asking questions and stuff like that they'd get angry at you for not sharing. i'm not really sure but in my experience people usually react like that, they don't adapt that fast, this part of the story bugged me a little, but other than that i really liked it.also when i first started the series i called dibs on the ability to talk to bats, someone else got it :(

Al ser la 2da parte (obviamente) ya no cuenta tanto la historia introductoria Y eso hace que haya más acción durante todo el libro Si nos cuentan más historia pero es diferente...La realidad es que el inicio es muy forzado, el enemigo en el universo Feral innecesarioPero ya que hizo todo el autor hay que agradecer que lo hizo bienEl tejedor daba miedo...Pero el enemigo de aquí me hizo odiarlo...no me agradó tanto el final... Pero sin duda me dejó con muchas más ganas de tener el 3er libro ya en mis manos y despejar las dudas que tengo...Habrá que esperar...

ENJAMBRE es una gran secuela para una fantástica trilogía que permite acercar al lector a la mitología de los Ferals. Acompaña a Caw y sus fieles compañeros alados en una atrayente y peligrosa aventura.Reseña completa EN MI BLOG

Caw, băiatul care vorbea cu corbii, l-a învins pe maleficul Spinning Man în prima parte a trilogiei. În partea a 2 apare un alt personaj malefic: Mama Muștelor. Caw, împreună cu prietenii săi, luptă pentru a scăpa orașul Blackstone de noul pericol. Nici această parte nu m-a dezamăgit!
