claudcloud 's review for:

The Golden Raven by Nora Sakavic
4.75
challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Going into this new AFTG series, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined I'd care so much about a previous side-character - but I guess this is Nora magic. I will genuinely die and kill for Jean Moreau, and getting to see him make friends, find a family, be encouraged and cared for by his entire team and coaches, starting to unpack his trauma and SAY WITH HIS OWN MOUTH THAT HE DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF IT (🥹🥹🥹), breaking away from the Nest and Riko and Tetsuji and the Ravens, find comfort in Jeremy and Cat and Laila and choosing them every time???? Witnessing him earnestly fulfilling his promise to Kevin, in spite of how much it hurts, and learning to finally live?? Has been nothing short of incredible.

The next and final book will absolutely destroy me, I fear, but I couldn't be more excited!!
