[Never] Feed the Crows<\/em> (2023) Jennifer Cody (Corvin’s Crows #1)<\/p>\n

\"[Never]It’s Amos’s second year on campus, and he has a great roommate and is doing well in his classes but hasn’t made many friends except for his roommate–and the crows.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I don\u2019t even know how it happened, but one day I realized that I spent more time feeding the crows than I did with actual humans, and then some of the crows started following me around\u2014 And now I\u2019m that weird student who got adopted by a couple of crows, and everyone who sees me knows who I am, and if they don\u2019t, they get freaked out by my friends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Honestly, I almost stopped reading this when I realized the romance was going to be between a student and a professor. That is a dynamic I really dislike. But when it was made explicit Amos was never going to take another class from Dr. Bloom again, I decided to keep going.<\/p>\n

Things I liked: Brigs, the world building, the crows.<\/p>\n

Things I didn’t like: Student\/Teacher dynamic and all the boinking and thinking about boinking.<\/p>\n

The second part of that is all me. I just find boinking boring. <\/p>\n

Characters<\/strong>: Dr. Corvin Bloom, Amos, Brigs Ewing, Jacob<\/p>\n
