Product Description
In the third and final novel of Feather and Bone: The Crow Chronicles, Kyp and the remains of the flock emerge tattered but alive from their fiery ordeal in the human colony. Pursued by the vengeful Kuper and his fanatical Collection, they flee south, outnumbered and exhausted. Flying through a strange land, where food is scarce and unknown enemies lurk, Kyp and the flock search for an elusive haven. This is a time of terrors and dark omens, when crows hunt down fellow crows. The life or death of the deeply divided flock depends on Kyp's decisions. Does he have the wisdom to decide well and grow from popular hero to mature Chooser? The world of crows is turned upside down in the epic battle that follows his Choice.

The Judgment, by Clem Martini January 28, 2008
Fred Patten (Los Angeles, Calif.)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This conclusion to Martini's Feather and Bone - The Crow Chronicles trilogy (The Mob, 2004; The Plague, 2005) starts in mid-action with Kyp leading his newly formed flock of young renegade crows on a desperate flight from the East Coast across America, barely ahead of despotic rival Kuper's pursuing flock of a hundred thousand deadly crows. Kyp's only hope is to reach the Urkana, a legendary flock of over a million crows on Canada's Great Plains, and gain the support of the crow elders in his belief that crows should continue to live as independent birds rather than becoming parasites dependent upon humans like the pigeons.
Feather and Bone is a brisk fantasy in the tradition of Adams' Watership Down. Martini gives the crows a language and mythology of their own that is clever, although a bit confusing in its overuse of names beginning with the letter K. However, readers should definitely start with the first novel, The Mob, instead of jumping into the trilogy with this conclusion.
