"After winning the trust of the terra indigene residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more.

A good sequel to Written in red. I think I enjoyed Written in red a little more, I think mostly because the story is a little smaller. And because Murder of crows looks out of the eyes of the bad guys a bit more. Not that it does that a lot, but it's just not something I enjoy. I want to stick with the characters I like, not spend time with the unsympathetic ones. Other than that, this book had all the good points that the previous one did. Good characters, good world, nice story. I could have done with a few less remarks about 'crazy women during their period', but I'll just write it off as terra indigene vs. humans instead of men vs. women.

One of the remarks I meant to make in my review for Written in red, but forgot: I wonder what the logic is behind the terra indigene's way of putting an article in front of names? At first I thought it was just the birds doing it (calling Meg the Meg), but then later I saw that the wolves sometimes do it too, just not with Meg... (

What can I say, this book did not disappoint.
I can't help but laugh wryly about how the Others view humans b/c it's sooo true. I'm enjoying the friendship between Meg and Simon. I also appreciate the human pack's view of the Others and how they're trying to help fix misconceptions. (slowly and smallish but still good)
Confirming the root of the drugs that is affecting the humans and earth natives alike Simon needs to find the controller. Meg is settling in and learning that what humans have come to know as "truth" about cassandra sangue may be misinformation but still has a lot to learn about her condition/addiction.
I like Monty and I hope he can help the human/other relations.
I'm not so sure about Dr L. I don't know if I like him or not.
On to the next book (

Bishop does it again. Couldn't put it down. (

I will say for people who weren't taken with the first novel and are toying with the idea of reading the second. The story line is intriguing. It answers a lot of questions I had after the first, and leaves you with more questions for the 3rd. It wasn't so much *let's find the girl* as the first one was but it did bring it up which was ugh. Over all it was way better than the first book. Not so much information dumping, and more actual story. (
