Ravenstoke is the second in Augusta Blythe's Universe Unbound series, and I love it just as much as I did the first. One of the things I like most about these books is that the author doesn't follow the typical YA formula of "boy meets girl, boy gets girl" with all of the attending angst. There is all of that, but done in a refreshing way that doesn't always end in the ways you think it will. It keeps the story refreshing and interesting and absolutely engaging. Once I began, I didn't put it dow...more
Loie and Mia are back! And this time this time they know exactly what's going on. Ever since Loie turned 17 she realized the truth. She was switched at birth and her father is a Universal. A race more "super" than humans and living in another dimension.
I was kind of thinking of Thor's Asgard here but turns out they live in Smurf houses lolz.
Andreas is back and still training Loie to tap into her inner Universal. Teaching her how to control her powers and train like the "Super" champ she is.

Ravenstoke is the second book in a series called Universe Unbound by Augusta Blythe.
Ravenstoke continues to follow Loie and Mia as they learn more about who they really are and the secrets that tie them together. Loie is coming into her own as a Universal and learning that she is way more powerful than she ever imagined. Andreas is still around, helping Loie train by day and smooching with Mia by night.
When Andreas is pulled into a secret mission in England, Loie is left on her own to train......more

Augusta Blythe isn't disappointing and manages to deliver once more an amazing book in her Universe Unbound series! Ravenstoke, is as good as her first book Winterborne and I really enjoyed reading about how Loie handles all the heart-breaking truths that were revealed about her and her family in the end of Winterborne.
Loie is really maturing in Ravenstoke and I just enjoyed every minute of her development as a character. She struggles not only...more
Book two in the series does not disappoint. It has it all: Superpowers, friendship, family, romance, and mystery. Loie, our ever entertaining narrator, is witty and sharp as usual. Both girls are still trying to figure out how to adjust to their new family dynamic. It's strange to see Mia slip so readily into a sidekick role, but as her relationship with Andreas progresses, it's clear that she's not content to always play second fiddle. We meet some new and interesting characters, and are left h...more
Ravenstoke is such a fun read. I was so glad to be back in this world that I got to visit in the first book, Winterborne.
Loie, the main character, has such a distinctive voice. That was definitely one of my favorite parts of the book. She's really admirable, too. She has tons of awesome powers but she never once becomes conceited or annoying. Loie is just a very down to earth character. Plus, she was always making me smile with her memorable narration.

Um...can I just say that I love Cian! If I didn't know Loie could seriously kick my butt I'd totally scrap for him...and that's saying a lot cause I don't scrap. :) (Sorry, I just had to throw that out there)
Ravenstoke picks up right where Winterborne left off. Powers ascended. Boy drama. Messed up family dynamic that surprisingly seems to work. Ancients ticked off that Loie and Mia are still alive.

I don't normally have the best of luck with self published book. But something about the first book in this series caught my attention, and I never looked back. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Ravenstoke could carry the same punch that Winterborne did.
I got lucky again! If anything, I think this might have been better than the first book in the series. At first, I was afraid it was going to be a book about Loie and her whining. And felt bad that Andreas choose Mia over her, I really do. B...more

I enjoyed Ravenstoke much more than I did Winterborne. I had a big issue with Loie in the first because of her lack of confidence in herself and how she always felt that she was second best to Mia. But she is a stronger character in this second instalment of the Universe Unbound series, and it was great to see her coming into herself.

The story behind this book is so unique and that's what make it such a good book. I did feel like the sequel was a little bit slower to get into than the first one. There's some swoonworthy men in there! What will come next? I can't wait to read the next one!
