The Rookery (The Nightjar #2) by Deborah Hewitt

Hi Cara,

Today I am reviewing The Rookery by Deborah Hewitt. The Rookery is the 2nd book in the NightJar series.

The Rookery comes out on the 5th of August 2021.

Will she give her life to save its secrets?

The Rookery, city of secrets, lies and magic, is facing destruction. But does Alice have the power to save her new home?

When Alice discovered this alternate London, her life changed forever. She discovered she was seeing Nightjars – miraculous birds that guard our souls. But her newfound magic has a dark side. So in an effort to protect her friends, Alice is training to wield her rare abilities under House Mielikki – the House of Life. Yet something isn't right. And after a series of attacks leaves her reeling, it's clear someone wants her to fail.

Alice must plunge into a world of seductive magic and unimaginable perils to uncover the conspiracy. And when she discovers why Rookery itself is at risk, she realizes the price she must pay to save it.

(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)

The Rookery is a magical and mysterious book in a weird and wonderful alternative London.

The Rookery is more about Alice heritage, her joining a house and the changes happening in The Rookery / magical London.

I am a nerd so I enjoyed the parts of the story that followed the history around Rookery and Alice. As well as what Alice was learning. As her ability are different to other characters.

There are two great mysteries that keep the pace up and gives the book a lot of drama. There is one element of the mystery regarding the summer tree I guessed in advance. But there was a lot of things a didn't.

Overall The Rookery has an interesting cast of characters, an interesting world and an engaging mystery.

My Rating for The Rookery is 4 out of 5.
