Review #2 Jackdaw (The World of A Charm of Magpies) audiobook streamming onlineīeautiful. I would absolutely recommend it to others. I have loved all of the books I have read by KJ Charles, but Jackdaw stands out as one of my most favorite. Furthermore, Im going to choose my words carefully to avoid big spoilers, but Jackdaw contains even more role reversal, and frankly, it was terrifying to see familiar characters appearing in a different dynamic. Its not that he doesnt care, but having to consider someone elses feelings is new for him.Īnd thats the most fascinating part of this book: not only do we see the redemption and reformation of a former villain, but we also learn more about his motivations for taking on such a villainous role. Jonah has never had anyone care about him he spent most of his life only caring about himself because thats what he had to survive.

Ben has lost everything because of Jonah, but he cant walk away from their shared past. It was full of angst and heartache, but there was always a glimmer of optimism- hope springs eternal, and all that.

So, they decide to try again, and things seem to be going well for them. Once upon a time, Jonah met Ben, and they were very happy together.īen has every reason to be angry with Jonah for betraying and abandoning him, but he cant stop thinking about his flighty erstwhile lover.

I dont want to reveal too much, but I will say that Jonah appeared as one of the villains of the piece, so right away, its interesting to see him as the protagonist in a romance. Jonah Pastern played a supporting role in Flight of Magpies, the third Charm of Magpies book.
