I am fangirling so hard right now. This book had me pacing in suspense even though I knew Caprion was going to get his wings and the Harpies were going to be fine and I was fairly confident my favorite/second favorite character would be fine. I cringed, I writhed in suspense, I laughed (in a he’s-going-to-be-your-general-someday-sucker way), and I want Ferran’s Map yesterday.

The plot:
In Volcrian’s Hunt ( my review) we meet Caprion, a Harpy general who proves to be slightly less of an SOB than the majority of his compatriots. I kind of wanted to beat him over the head with a shovel for all his pompousness in that book. I wasn’t sure I would be able to overcome that very easily, but I was pulling for him by the end of the second page. Despite knowing he’d be fine, I had several moments of borderline panic and had to stop at a few points and pace until I calmed down because I couldn’t handle the suspense anymore.

The characters:
Like I said, I had a whole new outlook on Caprion by page 2. We get a glimpse into his early struggles and fears and I never would have suspected any of them when reading about him in Volcrian’s Hunt. (Though the fraternal rivalry is hinted at.) Caprion was brave and compassionate and not willing to let the propaganda about the Sixth Race cloud his judgment of Moss and I dare you to read this and not adore him.

In Volcrian's Hunt, we learn that Crash (an elite assassin of the Sixth Race, my Favorite Character) knew a girl when he was younger who was kinder and sweeter than the Sixth Race generally allows and was abducted by Harpies when she was around thirteen. In Caprion’s Wings, Caprion befriends a girl of the Sixth Race around thirteen whose been taken captive and makes a deal to set her free and return her to the mainland. In Volcrian’s Hunt, we learn that one of the female assassins of the Sixth Race who’s hunting Crash was abducted by Harpies as a girl and somehow freed and returned to mainland with no memory of how she escaped. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!! But I loved Moss and I really, really hated the majority of the Harpy race even more by the end.

Sumas and Dahlia and the Matriarch were just begging for some unspeakable fate in this book. Of course, they kind of were in Volcrian’s Hunt, too (except for Dahlia, who wasn’t in that book). This series does a good job of not making any one group or species all bad or all good, there’s a mix in all the races.

I love, love, LOVE these books and I want Ferran’s Map even more now! (Which I wouldn’t have thought possible.)

This review contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.







That ending - I NEED MORE.


I want Moss and Caprion to be alive
and roaming wherever they want,
like now!



My first impressions of this book was: I need this. Now. Now. NOWWWW. I saw those wings and that white hair on the MC and I knew I would love this book. I was right, I do love this book. This book was totally my kind of thing. I was laughing and rooting for the main characters throughout. I felt Caprion’s fire and rage when things got shaken up. I actually read this whole book in one sitting + read it in the middle of reading A Court of Mist and Fury. I haven’t read anything else of this series, just this one and it was just what I needed.

Mini Playlist:
May it be – Hayley Westenra
Hana-bi – Joe Hisaishi
Sora - Yoko Kanno
Inner universe - Yoko Kanno

Main Characters:

Le’ Nasir Caprion – The MC, he wants his wings but has failed each attempt thus far. Harpy turned Seraphim

Sumas – The worst brother, he is insufferable. Sumas is a difficult brother to have. Sumas: “I don’t understand you. Have you no pride? No honor? How could you do this to our family?” He shook his head, his voice thick. “I'm so angry at you, I want to pound you into the dirt. You don't care about anyone but yourself."

Esta – Caprion’s little sister, she cares and worries for her brother.

Moss – A cheeky little girl found in a dark dungeon. She is strong, kind and helpful to her allies.

Elements introduced:
****I love stories with elements in it!

Harpy: Wind and light. Ex: Caprion

Unnamed: Shadow and fire. Ex: Moss

Summary:
We have the MC Caprion who is holy and a goody two-shoes (and I seriously mean that in a nice way.) He feels almost to a fault. Unlike the rest of the city and other harpies, Caprion actually gives a damn about other people, including strangers he does not even know. He ends up taking pity on one of the enemy’s forces being imprisoned by the city’s military. And guess what? None other than Caprion’s brother is in charge of the whole scheme. Su-mas…


Enter a few ass kicking scenes with Moss, Caprion and Sumas. Readers, wait ‘til the end, all of the characters suffering won’t be in vain. Now if I could only get my hands on a book only about Caprion and Moss, that would be great!!!

Memorable Quotes:

“The way my family acts, you’d think I was a criminal or a drunk. Or worse, like I’m not even a Harpy anymore.” Pp. 30

“Let’s make a deal.” He knew it was a foolish thing to do – more than foolish – but the softness in his heart drove him to it. He couldn’t leave a small child in this place.

She remained silent. And in that silence, an entire conversation seemed to pass between them, conflicting tides of hope and distrust, doubt and despair. Forget about me, she seemed to say. I didn’t ask for your help, and I don’t expect it. I won’t break my word, he wanted to reply. I’ll prove it to you. My wings won’t change me. They’ll only make me stronger. pp. 66

Moss’s eyes flickered, looking up at him. She didn’t question what he meant. “Where shall I go?” she asked. “Hide and I will find you,” he whispered. Then he closed his eyes again, pretending to be asleep. He felt Moss relax against his shoulder, mimicking his position. He could feel her pulse quickening beneath his thumb on her wrist. pp. 69

“He hoped she could stay hidden until after he tracked down the demon. Once the island was safe, he would find a way to get Moss to the mainland, with or without wings. And if you fail? a niggling little voice asked. If the demon kills you? He glanced to the sky, to the One Star, begging for strength. If he died, he didn’t know what would happen to her—one more reason to stay alive.” pp. 71

He shook his head as he walked, a little unnerved by his new abilities. I’m too strong, he thought. By the One Star…why did you make me this way? Pp. 95

Against the far wall, a small figure lay curled on the ground. She looked…dead. His sucked in a sharp breath. In three strides, he crossed the room and knelt at Moss’s side. His hands hovered over her small body, shaking, unsure where to touch. Her hair was chopped jaggedly short. Her clothes were ripped, covered in dirt and grime. Her face was turned away from him, but he glimpsed a large bruise across one cheek, swelling her eye shut. He could see fresh blood staining the ground around her. It almost made him retch. Fury rose within him. Cold rage—he had to contain it. He needed to move her, but he didn’t know the extent of her wounds. He knelt next to her on the stone and turned her gently, searching for broken bones. Nothing obvious that he could see. Then he lifted her gently into his arms. Her body felt smaller and lighter than before, like a mangled bird. She winced and stiffened at his touch. He turned her in his arms, looking at the scrapes along her chin, her ravaged neck, the dried blood around the sunstone collar. Her left eye was swollen shut. A trickle of blood leaked down her chin from a cut on her parched lips. He knew what he had to do. With a simple thought, he summoned the magic of his wings, the power of Light. He gently touched the sunstone and spoke a single command: “Off.” The stone dimmed, losing its glow, then the collar abruptly snapped open. He eased it off of Moss’s neck and tossed it to one side. The skin beneath looked raw and bloody. Angry blisters circled her neck where the collar had rested. Moss stirred when the collar came off. Her slight movement made his heart leap. “Caprion?” Her words sounded painful, spoken through sandpaper. “I’m here,” he said quietly. Pp. 99

The urge to fight burned strong within him, but part of him felt keenly out of depth. A day ago, he had been an outcast, weaker than most in the city. Now he faced down the Matriarch, his wings spread behind him, barely able to control his own power. It almost made his head spin. I’m not a bully, he thought. I’m not a warrior. No, he was a fledgling confronted by more changes than he knew how to handle. He didn’t want to fight against his own people, but he needed to save Moss. Pp. 105

When this happened I wanted to be in that book, fighting alongside Caprion to protect young Moss!

She was just a girl, the same age as his little sister, trapped in an evil world with no way out. How could he condemn her for that? pp. 108

He stared her down, hoping she saw his resolve. He meant his words. If anything happened to Moss, he would lose faith in his own people. The Harpies spoke of honor, the proud history of the First Race and their duty to the world. But when he looked to their actions, he didn’t see it. He didn’t see any of it. pp. 112

“Even stars must die.”

She gave him a wry half-smile. “I heard some of what the Matriarch said,” she said. “Old crone.” He grinned unexpectedly. “She is an old crone,” he agreed. “Set in her ways. And cunning. Dangerous.” pp. 116

Tonight was the last night he could just be Caprion. And it seemed strangely appropriate that he would share it with Moss—the one person who had seen him at his weakest, who had given him the courage to find his wings. pp. 118

Caprion is so lovely, I just think of the last scene in the book and sigh at the wonder of it. A harpy destined to be enemies with a child of the Unnamed, both taking refuge together in peace.



Cons:
1. When the author used “wham” as an effect of blunt force being drawn, I thought: am I reading a novella or comic book. I didn’t like the effort.
2. For once I would have liked the book to have a different point of view. This book was wrote in a 3rd person POV, and I would have preferred 1st person POV in order to know the MC’s thoughts better.

Overall Impression:
I want more Caprion & Moss, this duo is adorbs!!
I totally adore Moss and Caprion protecting each other. They are loyal friends and allies. I might read the first few books + finish the series - just for more of these two! I have to say though; I don’t think this is the case so I am put off a little by that. My heart really wants Moss and Caprion to have a time skip already so she can kick ass alongside Caprion.

These two would be unstoppable!!

Why I personally enjoyed this book:
I love to root for the underdog and Caprion filled that position. His family outshines him and steals the spotlight. Caprion is the blemish of his whole family and his brother would like him to disappear. Sumas beats his brother to a pulp whenever he can, just to show off how powerful he is than his brother. Caprion never gives up trying to get his wings. Although partly lazy, he cares about what is most important in life. He isn’t a bully, he just wants to live simple life: get his wings, maybe fall in love, get married and have kids. Plus he is a devout follower of his religion. I was laughing my ass off when he thought of the whole city thinking he was pervert for protecting Moss.

Like no, you are a stand-up guy who does the right thing. Not to mention, you choose not to contribute to the torture and possible murder of children.

Caprion protects Moss.

Moss protects Caprion.

♥♥♥♥ These two are perffff. ♥♥♥♥

This book was PERFECT and I definitely LOVED Caprion. When I read about him in the last book, he seemed nice but he was a little boring too. You know, the typical super special hero and the only one who notices the mistakes of his own kind.

But I was so wrong!! Caprion was always different from his kind and he risked a lot defending what he believes in. He was the first, and perhaps the only one, to see Moss as a tortured child. And she was so mature and understanding that I couldn't help but love her! Love them both!

[Melissa (thereaderandthechef) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Caprion is an interesting character and this novella sheds a different light on him from what it can perceived in Volcrian's Hunt, but as far as pacing goes, this novella was a bit too slow for my taste. Had a bit of trouble of getting into the story. However, it is worth the read.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another really great book in the Cat's Eye Chronicles. I wasn't sure what to expect with this novella as I didn't really like Caprion's character in Volcrian's Hunt and wasn't sure what his motivations were for making a deal with Sora. After reading this novella I think he's become one of my favourite characters in the series so far. I couldn't help but love the story of a young outcast Caprion struggling to find his wings and understand his purpose. He was honest and open-hearted and I loved how he was willing to risk everything to uphold his word to Moss - the young Sixth Race slave girl he befriended in his journey to find his wings. I feel like I understand his character a lot better now and can't wait to see what his role will be in the next book of the series. I wonder how much time has passed between the events in this novella and the time where Sora and her friends meet Caprion. But most importantly - what happened to Moss? I'm hoping she will make an appearance in the next book.

An interesting novella, and I can't wait to see how it's tied into Ferran's Map! (P.S. I am REALLY enjoying this series! Everytime I finish a book, I immediately buy the next one lol).

[Miranda · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really wanted to give this a higher rating because of the writing. As a stand-alone, this would have been great - imaginative, insightful, and even pulls at the heart strings a bit, but as part, even if a backstory, of a whole series, I felt it was too disconnected and too far a stretch from the original storyline. As I delve into the next 2 in the series, hopefully I will be proven wrong and need to come back and change my rating. Please make this happen!

[Carolyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love, love this series!

Great addition to the Cat's Eye Chronicles. Caprion was a big mystery when introduced and, until I read this novella, with a questionable agenda. I loved learning about the harpies and how their worth is measured in wingspan. I am looking forward to how this story fits with the rest of the series.

[Rebecca Blackwell Read · Rating 5 out of 5]

Caprion's Wings is a novella that fits between books three and four of the Cat's Eye Chronicles and expands on the story of the mysterious Harpy seraphim whom Sora and her companions meet during Volcrian's Hunt. In VH, Caprion comes across as pompous and aloof, and I disliked him immediately, but this short book details the struggles he went through in his teenage years to fit in with the rest of his society.

Even though this is set in a fantasy world, Caprion's story is very relatable to anyone who has even felt as if they are excluded or are a disappointment. In their society, the Harpies need to perform a ceremony when they're young, in which they project their voices to the sky so that a star 'hears' their songs and grants them their wings. Caprion has attempted this ceremony numerous times and failed, which has resulted in him being treated as an outcast and openly mocked by others, especially his older brother Sumas who has physically attacked him in the past for letting down his family. Caprion hears a voice in his dreams which he believes is the cause of his constant failures, and tracks it down to find that it belongs to a demon trapped on the island...

This story was well-paced and I believe the author's writing style has gone through a great deal of improvement too. The combat scenes were convincing and Caprion's personality really shone through for the duration of the story - I found myself feeling very sympathetic towards him, completely differently to how I perceived him in Volcrian's Hunt. His relationship with Moss was very touching too. I'm not sure if this has been confirmed but I'm of the belief that Moss, Bug and Krait are the same person - waiting to see if I'm right!

I highly recommend reading this novella if you've been enjoying the rest of the series - it may be seen as an optional extra, but Caprion remains quite an enigma without these details. We also learn more of the long-held rivalry between the Harpies and the Sixth Race, which is then built upon in the strained relationship between Caprion and Crash. The history of the races is not just black and white, and the Harpies, for all their claims that they exist to rid the world of evil, can be incredibly vicious and arrogant, while some members of the Sixth Race, such as Moss, are surprisingly vulnerable.

I moved onto Ferran's Map immediately after finishing this book and am still really enjoying the series. Highly recommended!

[T.M. Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a Novella in The Cat's Eye Chronicles series, although it can be read as a stand alone, I'd suggest reading the books in order to fully appreciate the characters and the world that Shreffler has built.

Fan's of the series will recognize Caprion from Volcrian's Hunt. This is his story of how he found his voice and his wings with the help of a young girl of the Sixth Race, Moss. Caprion is nearing the age where he should know how to fly, but he still doesn't have his wings. This is his last chance to enter the singing chamber and connect with is voice, if not he will become an outcast. When he fails to connect with his star his family turns their back on him, his brother is ashamed and now his dreams are haunted.

He sets out to find the voice that is haunting his dreams, this leads him to the Harpie prisons deep underground. There he finds Moss, not quite a child but not yet a woman, the two form a bond of trust and friendship a become allies. When Caprion finally connects with his star and gets his wings, the outcome is not quite what he or anyone else expects. Strength and determination are something that Caprion and Moss have in common, it connects them and it will save their lives.

I love how Shreffler is branching out and bringing new characters and storylines into this series. Caprion was one of my favorite secondary characters from book 3, it was wonderful to get to know more about his background with this novella. And the coincidence that Moss is a young girl kidnapped from the Sixth Race, and Viper/Crash has spoken of a young girl that was kind to him that was of the Sixth Race and had been taken by the Harpies, was not lost on me.

I need Ferran's Map on my kindle now, well.. yesterday would be better, but now will suffice! I can see Viper and Caprion clashing in a huge way, they are both strong, independent alpha males. But I can also see them forming a friendship of sorts built on trust and a mutual admiration of shared characteristics. This novella just opened so many doors and initiated the possibility of a lot of twists and turns for this series as a whole. Ferran's Map can not come soon enough for me.

Caprion’s Wings by T L Shreffler

4 Stars

Caprion’s Wings is a ‘Cat’s Eye Chronicles’ Novella and gives us a fuller understanding about Harpies and their background. Harpies who fail to grow their wings by adulthood are outcasts in their society and Caprion is nearing that age. If his charts are correct, he has only one more chance to enter the singing chamber, connect with his star, and succeed. When he hears a strange voice ruining his chances once more, Caprion finds himself drawn to the hidden underground prison to find its source.

With the help of a young warrior named Talarin, Caprion manages to sneak into the prison unseen, once there he finds a young slave named Moss. Until then he hadn’t been aware that the prisoners the Harpy warriors used for training were only children, angry he frees her and she helps him search for the ‘voice’ with the promise that he will take her home.

I loved the lead characters, Caprion was sensitive and protective, and he was desperate to be able to fly and prove his worth, especially to his older brother Sumas who was embarrassed by Caprion’s failings. Moss was strong and determined, but I was unsure if I could trust her or not, and part of me wondered if she really wanted to help Caprion.

I enjoyed this book, as a companion to the series but I really missed some of the characters from the main story, I had been hoping to see a little of them here. As always Theresa’s writing is clean and fluid, providing the reader with a visual and action packed read.

This book along with the first three can at times be infuriating. As I wrote my review for the first book Sora's Quest, this is the same in that the author can not keep her facts straight regarding her story line. When you read something no matter how in depth you expect you expect a certain professionalism from the author. I have read to many books in my time by too many good authors to read Shreffler's stories and not be disappointed. It is terribly aggravating to read a line where the characters sit down and two sentences later sit down again. Or someone is fighting with a dagger then all of a sudden they are fighting with a staff. How about referring to a horse as a male for three sentences and then for the rest of the book referring to the horse as a mare. It is things like this that make me wonder through out all of the Cat's Eye Chronicles books what the author is doing in her spare time that she can not remember where her story is going or what her characters are doing. I LOVE the idea of these stories they are different from most things I have read and I like that. What I don't like is the inconsistency. Hence the three stars. If is wasn't for my 13 year old daughter I would not be reading these. I am reminded of Tolkien or McCaffrey, very in depth stories, much more so than these yet they were both able to keep their story lines and goings on all on the right track, never messing up. If they could do it having multiple worlds or lands in their heads then Shreffler should be able to.

Caprion’s Wings
(A Novella of The Cat’s Eye Chronicles)
By
T. L. Shreffler

The main characters are Caprion who is 19, Moss who is a young child, Sumas who is Caprion’s older brother who is a captain in the army, Talarin who grew up with Caprion and is the same age as him.


Caprion’s Wings is a story about Caprion who is a Harpy who is 19 and still has not gained his wings! Most Harpy’s have gained their wings within the first few Singings. There have been a few times that a Harpy has never received their wings, this is very rare though! This story follows Caprion and his adventure to receive his wings. You find out a lot about him and it makes his character in Volcrian’s Hunt even more endearing. The story takes place as Caprion is having a nightmare. As it is Caprions’s 5th and final time trying the Singing Ceremony as if he does not receive his wing this time then unless there is a miracle he well never receive wings. Caprion ran into a lot of trouble in this story but everything he goes though makes him stronger.

We meet Caprion’s younger sister and older brother in this Novella as well as a few odd ball characters. I loved this novella, it was an amazing read and it left me wanting more! It was a page turner! You will not be disappointed with this story; if you enjoyed the Cat’s Eye Chronicles you will enjoy this story!

I would give this story 5 out of 5 Stars!!!!!

I did receive this story for an honest review of the novella!!!

[Alina Popescu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Caprion’s struggle is heartbreaking. The passion he puts into singing to find his wings is palpable, so is his determination. It is all met with failure and the hate and disapproval of those supposed to care and protect him: his family. Caught between a mother who blames herself, a big brother who hates and abuses him, and a younger sister and close friend who want to help him but lack the means, Caprion has to follow the monsters in his dreams to achieve his goals.

Descending into darkness to find the evil blocking him from reaching his star, Caprion forges a friendship with a young girl of the Sixth Race, who he names Moss. Bound by a spell protected promise and a mutual desire to chase their dreams, Caprion and Moss will face the unknown together. In his quest, the young Harpy will discover the blurry lines, light not always meaning righteousness and kindness.

The world building has kept me engaged, along with the fast pace of the story. The Harpies’ remote island and empty city, the dungeons where they keep their prisoners, they all come alive as you read through the pages, along with the rituals, the songs, and spells surrounding the world T.L. Shreffler creates.

This was my first book by this author, but it has definitely hooked me. Stay tuned for the reviews of The Cat’s Eye Chronicles series

I Received An ARC Of This Book In Exchange For My Honest Review!!!

Even though I received an ARC of this book the moment it was available for purchase I bought it. The Cat's Eye Chronicles is by T.L Shreffler is by far one of my most favorite YA/Fantasy series. My daughter recently just got a new kindle and I had her download the first book in this series first off. T.L. has a way of pulling the reader into the story and emerssing them into the story and world.

You first meet Caprion in Volcrian's Hunt. Having read that book I already new the outcome of this book but that didn't prevent me from sitting on the edge of my couch in suspense. This book has it all. A great storyline and a variety of emotions for the reader to experience. I found myself laughing at times during this book which is something I have come to expect from this amazing author. Other times I found myself scared at what was happening. Would it turn out the way I was hoping and wanted it to?

I can't wait for Ferran's Map to be released. I will continue to buy The Cat's Eye Chronicles books as long as T.L. Shreffler continues to write them. I fell in love with the story and the characters from the moment I picked up the first book, Sora's Quest and started to read it. I recommend this book to all readers out there young and old.

Hello Lovelies!

If any of you read my previous blog post on Sora’s Quest, you’ll know that I have quite the soft spot for T.L. Shreffler’s works! Caprion, a character that first appears in the third novel of the Cat’s Eye Chronicles, remains a stranger at the end of said novel. I was left with so many questions about Caprion and the motivations behind his actions. He was a complete enigma. The novella (40,000-50,000 words), Caprion’s Wings, focuses on the story behind the harpy gaining his wings. It consists of exciting action, includes T.L. Shreffler’s fantastic and descriptive writing, provides insight into the foreign harpy world, and gives the reader an understanding of Caprion that they were lacking before. Due to the length of Caprion’s Wings, my review is not long, but I can honestly say that I really enjoyed it!

If you’re reading the Cat’s Eye Chronicles (if you’re not, you’re missing out), you just have to purchase Caprion’s Wings. SO ENLIGHTENING!! And it only took like an hour and a half to read!

I'm so bummed with how this cut off! I did love getting Caprion's back story, though. I'm just as attached to him as some of the others now and that wasn't the case at the end of Volcrian's Hunt. There were some frustrating bits editing-wise, but I may have griped about that in a previous review, so we'll leave it at that. I don't love this series for its flawless presentation anyhow, and I'm pretty sure I've gushed about that in another review, too. I've learned my lesson after stumbling on a spoiler between books two and three, so I didn't even read the descriptions for this or Ferran's Map. Just twiddling my thumbs for the release now!

After second read - this time I read it before Volcrian's Hunt. Flow-wise it really wasn't the correct order, but I wanted to be refreshed on the Harpy characters first.

[Shannon Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like that we were given more of a back story on Caprion, because he sort of comes into the story out of the blue and we know almost nothing about him or the Harpy race. I didn't care for the ending because it was rather abrupt in my opinion. I see there is a new book, Krait's Redemption, coming soon and I'm am hoping that it ties up the loose ends on several of the characters.

I thought this was the 4th Cat's Eye book, but it isn't...sadness. It was still very entertaining, though I wish it didn't end where it did!

I loved Caprion in #3. This novella made me love him more!!! I am so excited for Ferran's Map! This summer can't come quick enough!!!!

This series is truly epic! Once you start you can't stop. I easily see this series continuing with several more successful installments without losing steam. Def a must read!

Interesting look at Caprion's character. It's going to be hard waiting two more months for the next book, but at least it's only two more months. I really want to see where this goes.
