"You know I'm always with you, no matter what," Falcon said from her side.
Falcon whispered against her hair, combing his fingers through the bits falling in front of her eyes and slowly drawing it back behind her ears, away from the tears now soaking his chest. He moved closer, pulling her onto his lap. With her head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her, holding her, desperate to make her pain go away. There was nothing he could do now except be what she needed him to be--strong.
"I really do, you know," Falcon continued.
"Do?" Iris asked.
"Love you," Falcon said and Iris felt every part of her body leaning toward him. She allowed her world to fall away, just for a moment.
I'm always cautious when jumping into sequels, especially when I liked the first book. Because I'm a sequel-phobe. But I do it anyway, and with high hopes. Because I'm just trusting like that. I really liked the first book in the Society of Feathers series, Owlet. It was sweet and interesting, and I really looked forward to diving into the next book. SO THEN I DID. I read Eyrie. And it was so good! I liked it just as much as--if not more than--the first book.
The biggest thing that stands out in this story is how unique it is. With the souls and half-souls and birds, and goodness. So many things. I just think it's immensely cool and relentlessly interesting. My attention remained wrapped up in Eyrie from beginning to end. There were some surprises and there were some sweet moments, and I loved them both equally.
I adore these characters. Falcon is my #1, no doubt about it. From the moment we met him in Owlet, I was head over heels, but he just keeps getting BETTER. I don't know how it's possible, but he does and I love him for it. He's there for Iris 100% through everything and that warms me to him endlessly. Iris herself isn't too bad, and I actually like that her character has asthma. That's not something we see in an MC every day, so yay for changing it up! She's not perfect, but she is improving, and I can respect that. All the other characters in this series help to make up a nice, big, happy family, and I like that. It's so nice.
The romance in this book is sweet as all get out. As I said, Falcon has a place in my heart. He earned it. Falcon and Iris together makes me feel incredibly happy, and I always look forward to their cute little moments together. He wasn't overbearing to her, and she wasn't standoffish to him. When they needed each other, they were there. They were IN. And I freaking LOVED that.
Overall, Eyrie is a great sequel to follow up Owlet. I adore Falcon, and certainly look forward to reading more of these characters and where their story goes in the third book in this series, which I will definitely be picking up. If you're searching for a unique, cute story that is both interesting and warms your heart, I definitely recommend the Society of Feathers series.
