A Throne of Swans is the first book in a young adult fantasy duology by the sisters Katharine and Elizabeth Corr. I found it was a well-written, fast paced, fun read with excellent (and surprising) plot twists, humour and just the right touch of romance. I loved the ingenious, unique magic system involving birds that links to how the society in this book is structure. I absolutely cannot wait to find out how the story thickens and what happens to Aderyn, Odette, Lucien and Aron in the conclusive sequel A Crown of Talons. I highly recommend A Throne of Swans to anyone who is a fan of Young Adult fantasy books such as The Folk of The Air by Holly Black. I will definitely be reading more by these authors.
