The Snow Falcon is an eminently readable novel. Characters, plot (with sub-plots), prose - everything worked well for me. The beautiful part was that not only humans, a bird (a gyrfalcon) becomes part of the emotional ups and downs. The bird connects the main character with a quiet boy and his mother and also the one wanting to kill the bird for money at any cost. So, while the bird is the focus, human actions and feelings come in different shades of good and bad.
At times, too many details about falcon training slow down the flow. Readers looking for lots of thrilling romance may feel dissatisfied.
I would recommend this novel to readers with taste for seriously developed stories.
The book gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐out of 5.
