An Enchantment of Ravens – Book Review
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was not sure what to expect from this book. I bought it partly because I love the cover, and partly because I loved her Sorcery of Thorns novel. But I am so glad I did because I loved it.
Some of the things I loved the most about it:
1. It’s an unusual story that doesn’t follow the same type of plotline as many recent romantasies (both YA and adult).
2. Love the use of art as a type of weapon against the ugly side of things (and by ugly, I mean everything shallow and evil).
3. The fact that Isobel’s love interest is not perfect, in fact he is–in his true form–pretty unsightly.
4. LOVED her twin sisters (I won’t say why but these are two of the most unusual characters I have read in a long time).
5. Isobel’s intelligence and smarts (redundant? Maybe).
6. The writing is fabulous with such vivid descriptions that you feel you can see, hear and smell it.
But the end was the cherry on top. I really couldn’t imagine how it would end with all the odds stacked way up against a happy ending. But Rogerson came through with a surprising and satisfying ending to the story.
Highly recommend it to any fantasy with a side of romance fans.
