 I love the Harlequin Teen imprint. They put out quality books and with few exceptions I have loved every single one that I've read from them. Unfortunately On a Dark Wing was one of those exceptions. 
 I found it incredibly difficult to get into this book. The pacing goes from crawling to jumping around way too quickly. There doesn't seem to be a happy medium. Things got even more disruptive with the constant point-of-view shifting. I'm all for having different points of view within the same novel, but when they shift multiple times, within the same chapter, it can make the story feel a little ragged and at times disjointed. 
 The second half of this novel is significantly better, but it felt like too little too late. By the time I got to this part I had already been struggling pretty significantly with what exactly was going on and was having a hard time connecting with the majority of the characters. Particularly Abby. I found her to be overly egotistical and one dimensional. Considering that most of the novels hinges on the fact that her mother died in a horrific car crash, it seemed strange that I couldn't feel any sort of sympathetic feelings towards her. 
 I will say, however, that I loved the scenes with Nate on Denali. These moments really stood out for me as they were filled with real emotion, real conflict and kept me hanging on to see what happened next. I think I would have been happy with the entire novel just being Nate's experience climbing Denali. But alas is was not to be. I feel bad that I didn't like this titles as much as other Harlequin Teen books, but unfortunately they can't all be winners.
