Whether we like it or not, we do often judge books by their covers. That is why authors and publishing houses invest so much into coming up with the most amazing and provoking covers. 
 Roots and Wings' cover completely charmed me. The feathers, the font, the colours: minimal and perfect. 
 As for the actual story; not as exceptional but pretty great in itself. 
 The female lead, Hannah, is so organic in her character that despite not being a book fantasy, she manages to be fantastical. Even though she's a tomboy, we're not forced to witness her acting like a man with vagina. 
 The book is mostly free of much of any stereotypes and I loved it. 
 The male lead, Vaughn, himself often made me smile. the author's focused more on him than how many abs and pectorals he has or what his junk size is. Thank heavens! 
 (Not that I am complaining about the lovely adult romances without which I couldn't survive. One needs books of all types.) 
 I am really happy I read this book.
