"The Crow God’s Girl” by Patrice Sarath is a Young-Adult fantasy novel about a girl (Kate) who has gone through a portal from modern day New York to the medieval world of Aeritan. She believes that she will be forever trapped there, and has started to try to make a new life for herself as a daughter in the House of Terrick. However, as she tries to (clumsily) adjust to her new world, her life is turned upside down and she must start over and with new challenges. I’ll say I loved this book and re...more
WOW. This book was incredible! I’m so impressed with this amazing story and how the author wove so many storylines together, and had such vivid descriptions and an original plot. I admit at first I was confused as to what was going on…I hadn’t read the first two books in the series, and although the author catches us up to speed right away, there were still some questions that I had. I didn’t feel confused, more like just wondering about the history of some of the characters, and if that would b...more

The concept for this book was great. VERY unique and imaginative with clever dialogue. The writing was strong, although there were some minor editing glitches. Nothing major. The prose was beautiful and the characters really came to life in my mind. I admired Kate for her wit and strength and liked the contrast of her modern-day personality in the historical world of Aeritran. I admit at times early on I wondered where the story was headed, as there seemed to be a clear lac...more

The Crow God’s Girl by Patrice Sarath combines many elements of popular modern fantasy and mixes it up with an otherworldly feel of the past. No easy feat, to say the least. There was so much going on in this book I felt at times I should be taking notes to keep track of who was who… This wasn’t a light and easy read for me, I really had to focus on the story….it is an epic fantasy with a large cast of characters, some more developed and clearer to imagine than others. The pace was good, however...more

This was an AMAZING young adult portal fantasy novel. The third in the series and it packs quite a punch. A 20th century girl gets stuck in a feudal alternate world after crossing through a portal which closes. The book integrates her well into the life a Middle Ages noblewoman and takes it further when she decides she wants more than what is allotted to her as a young woman with no family ties or fortune. The ending was quite surprising and I can't wait until the fourth book.
This book is a continuation of the Gordath Wood series but, can be read as a standalone. It focuses solely on Kate as she tries to build her life in Aeritan and builds a thoroughly believable picture of her struggles.
Anyone who read the earlier books (Gordath Wood and Red Gold Bridge) should pick this one up as it is a better book. A real shame that Patrice Sarath's series was dropped by Ace just as she is finding her stride.

Normally fantasy isn’t really my favorite genre, but I’ve been trying to expand my reading list lately and thought the “Crow God’s Girl” by Patrice Sarath sounded interesting. And I am glad I gave it a chance! I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this epic YA fantasy. I almost read it in one night, but it turned into two (dang sleep!) I love the alternate world of Aeritan the author imagined, and thought all of the characters (and there is a lot of them!) really came to life on the pages. There we...more
This book was simply fabulous. I loved it! The writing was descriptive and clear, and the narrative was lyrical and natural and I was easily sucked into the story right from the start. Although I hadn’t read the other books in the series prior to “The Crow God’s Girl”, I found I was able to easily follow along and adjust to this new world that Kate inhabits. Although I do want to read the other books now, just to see all that has happened before hand. This is a wonderful novel rich with great ch...more
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and hope I get to read another in this series...
This was definitely the best book of Patrice's Gordath series, even though I didn't like how it ended. This one built up character tension better and actually got you rooting for different people. I liked the action and the notion of choices between parallel futures.

I'm a writer and editor in Austin, Texas. My novel The Unexpected Miss Bennet came out in 2011 from Robert Hale in the UK and from Penguin Berkley in the US. It takes up where Pride & Prejudice leaves off, specifically regarding Mary Bennet, the most misunderstood of the Bennet sisters. Mary is bookish, a bit priggish, determined to stand out for her accomplishments, and is a typical middle ch...more
