Good deeds may be their own rewards, but sometimes the consequences of helping someone else aren’t necessarily what one would expect them to be.I really liked the descriptions of Tyhana’s playful, loving relationship with her six younger siblings. They have clearly been raised in a happy home, and it was nice to see siblings from such a wide range of ages maintain such close bonds with one another. Portraying this part of her life shows the where the nurturing side of Tyhana’s personality might have developed. It also adds a touch of humour to her tale that makes it difficult to stop reading.Unfortunately, this story includes multiple grammar and punctuation errors. While the vast majority of them didn’t alter the meaning of the text, the errors happened often enough that I was distracted from the plot. Had this not been the case this tale would have easily earned a much higher rating as the characters, setting, and plot were quite well written.The fast-paced plot was perfect for this piece. It works so well in large part because of the heavy emphasis on exploring certain questions that are raised early on. I didn’t want Tyhana’s adventures to end. While I don’t know if Ms. Grace is planning to write a sequel, these characters have only begun to reveal their true selves and I would be quite interested in getting to know them better in a sequel.Feather’s Blossom is a great choice for anyone who loves stories about winged people. It reads like a fairy tale for adults, and I am looking forward to revisiting it soon.Originally posted at Long and Short Reviews
