“I don’t want rest, Elspeth. I just want you.”

* This writing is so interesting 
* The magic system is cool!
* Okay, but I like Raven heh
* Oh man this is intense 
* Ahh I knew it!
* Oh what a tangled web
* it just keeps getting worse and worse!
* Um excuse me, what??

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but I actually really liked it. 

The world building and magic system was pretty unique and I felt like it was explained well. The story was fairly fast paced and there was enough going on without being overwhelming. There were twists and turns with some I expected and others I didn’t. 

Elspeth was a good character. I thought she did good with the lot she’d been given. She was smart and didn’t let herself be helpless. 

I really liked Raven. He’s one of those, tough on the outside but will burn the world down for the people he loves, kind of people and I love that. 

And all of Raven’s family were great. So many good characters with interesting stories and fun interactions. 

I can’t wait to read the next one and see how all the things get tied up!

Also, the narrator for this was fantastic! I enjoyed it a lot.
