The Weight of Feathers 
Lace Paloma may be new to her family’s show, but she knows as well as anyone that the Corbeaus are pure magia negra, black magic from the devil himself. Simply touching one could mean death, and she's been taught from birth to keep away. But when disaster strikes the small town where both families are performing, it’s a Corbeau boy, Cluck, who saves Lace’s life. And his touch immerses her in the world of the Corbeaus, where falling for him could turn his own family against him, and one misstep can be just as dangerous on the ground as it is in the trees.
Beautifully written, and richly imaginative, The Weight of Feathers is an utterly captivating young adult novel by a talented new voice.
✔ Book #6 for the Contemporary-A-Thon under the challenge, "read a diverse contemporary" "i think i enjoyed the concept of this book more than the actual book itselfthe characters are interesting and i love the diversity but my guys, the pacingggggitwassoslowand thats just rude, im trying to do a readathon here. okay but seriously, i adore the idea of enemies to lovers, especially when its done in the romeo/juliet format where the families hate each other bc then its enemies to lovers +
2.75⭐I was initially sold on this when someone compared it to The Night Circus. It was nothing like the Night Circus. Aside from the fact that both are magical realism and involve a travelling circus crew, they couldn't be further apart. I'm having trouble understanding my own feelings on this book so Ill try my best to come across understandable. So, the story is about two rival families, the Palomas and the Corbeaus, who have been rivals and enemies locked in an escalating feud for over a

We are not small enough that you can pull us where you want us to go. I only have one word for you, Anna-Marie McLemore: THANKS. This novel is everything I've ever wanted in a book, and way more. Fantastic writing (that kinda reminded me of All the Crooked Saints by my goddess in leather bracelets Maggie Stiefvater...or is it the other way around?), beautiful and original magical realism and amazing characters. I'll forever cherish this tiny gem and keep it close to my heart for coming days.
This is such a rare and beautiful book. Though calling it a book seems like an understatement, because really, it's an experience. It wrapped me up and held onto me, and I could smell it and touch it and taste it. At a few places, I started to cry just because it was so beautiful I couldn't stand it. And the writing is so good it made me sick with envy! You need to get this book. And then you need to cuddle it and hold it close and just breathe it in.
This book is so insufferably beautiful I don't even know what to do with myself?!? Laugh? Cry? Hug it? Stand upon a rooftop and shout about my affections? Duct tape the cover to my face so I can always be with it????? Honestly I'm so picky about books these days but this JUST STOLE MY HEART AND TICKED ALL THE RIGH BOXES AND I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS I'M EXHAUSTED.It's already going on my "best of the year shelf" and I'm buying everything by this author ever. WHAT ARE MY EMOTIONS DOING I DON'T EVEN
i have no words. anna-marie mclemore has all the beautiful words. idk how to write reviews anymore. i just really really loved this! the atmosphere, the slow burn of it, it was just so good. it's a quiet book, it's not extremely plot driven (there is one but it's not what made me love this book), but the characters are interesting and every page reveals new layers of these characters to the reader in the lovliest way. i can't wait to read more from this author.4.5 stars

WOW... A Fantastical Tale!!!!! Just yesterday, I was high as a kite reading "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", by Salman Rushdie...(a Children's magical fairy tale), andtoday, I'm swooning over "The Weight of Feathers, ( debut by Anna-Marie LeLemore). This novel has a tribal feeling such as in "The Round House", by Louise Erdrich, to me with and inventive cast of characters and scenes. It has a Romeo and Juliet feeling to it also by the fact that two teens fall in love - but their families hate✔ Book #6 for the Contemporary-A-Thon under the challenge, "read a diverse contemporary" "i think i enjoyed the concept of this book more than the actual book itselfthe characters are interesting and i love the diversity but my guys, the pacingggggitwassoslowand thats just rude, im trying to do a readathon here. okay but seriously, i adore the idea of enemies to lovers, especially when its done in the romeo/juliet format where the families hate each other bc then its enemies to lovers +
