An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
3.0

It appears that faeries are becoming the next trend in the YA genre. With the popularity of Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorn and Roses series, it would bound to happen eventually. If anything, I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve seen from the faerie genre. I’ve never really liked the whole, “faeries are just for little girls and are sweet and good all the time.” It’s absolutely gag-worthy. I’ve always been drawn more to the older depictions, ones that paint them as dangerous, terribly clever creatures of pure magic. An Enchantment of Ravens definitely has no trouble showing them in this light, giving a somewhat refreshing view of the fair folk. Unfortunately, it is only this aspect that makes it stand out among the genre.
