Love at First Flight was Malin’s first time reading Janine Amesta, and she enjoyed it enough to read more. She particularly liked the crow friend. “Harper was a cool and unusual animal companion, clearly not actually a pet, but a discerning (she didn’t like Dex’ ex much, but clearly loves Selah) and amusing presence in the story.” Who are your favorite fictional animal companions?
