A great follow up to Conspiracy of Ravens. I like the mix of both the worlds and the way this plot really brought the two together. You get a feel for the divide and pull Raven must feel being born from both. The fact that she is part of the Others but also very uninformed about them as a whole and her role in their world is endearing and exciting to stumble around learning with her on the fly as the reader. It's fun to see her abilities grow and I am enjoying the journey. It feels like there's still so much to uncover about her powers, her new position as the Corvid Queen, and the world of the Others in general. Each little bit of information only makes you want to know more.

I liked the progression in the relationship between Cole and Raven in this one. Although his penchant for secrecy, even when it is for Raven's safety or benefit, seems like it could grow tiresome after awhile. Raven strikes me as the kind to stand more on her own and do what needs to be done, no matter how dirty the task may be, and I think eventually their relationship will require more of an even footing and partnership. It feels like there's still a certain depth lacking in their relationship and while we see things progress with them in a positive way there seems to be some questions and a smidgen of apprehension still within Raven and I wonder if it stems from a culmination of these key things. I'm curious to see how that progresses in the future.

All in all these books are quick fun reads and I'm thoroughly enjoying this exciting universe and all its interesting inhabitants!
