Black Crow, White Snow
Short Story Audiobook by Michael Livingston 
Black Crow, White Snow, a tale concerning a search for something magical, possibly a weapon or simply hope. Written by Michael Livingston, I share what my thought was on this audible, audiobook that lasted two and a half hours. #element-a01d7c42-fcb5-4c9b-9450-636ee6f0fdcf .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;} 
This is possibly the shortest book review I'll ever share on my site. Not because it's a bad book but because it's missing something. Something meaty, vital and substantial. You see, it's seems to be incomplete. It begins with a ship at sea, with little explanation as far as what's truly taking place, but they're on a mission to retrieve technology that could assist in saving their people.
Bela, the shipmistress, is doing her best to hold back prejudice as they battle against nature in order to travel to an area deemed magical. After an attack that sinks her ship, she must do everything possible to keep her crew alive, let alone in check, while they cope with deadly obstacles, as well as the elements.
The action is good, the narrator is good too. What's not good is how this audiobook seems to have dropped dead center into a larger story. From what I took from Black Crow, White Snow, the characters are living in a sort of dystopian, fantasy world, where women dominate over men. The woman, seemingly all lesbians, dominate the men who are viewed as weak, yet educated. It's not a bad story, but I simply couldn't connect nor care about what happened because so much was missing. I'm a lover of fantasy, but I needed better world building. or more meat to the story.
Now from what I understand, there's a follow-up to this that's terribly huge; probably overly detailed to compensate for what this one lacked. I don't know. I just know I more than likely won't dive in any further. Check it for yourself, because it's entertaining. Just not enough. Cheers!
