Raven's Shadow, Patricia Briggs
a very good book, as to be expected from patricia briggs. it was odd for it to not be centered on one specific character, but on a whole family of mages, pretty much, and the switching point of views did disorient me from time to time, but in this one i felt the purpose of the plot was intricate enough to have that not detract from anything overmuch. the character of hennea annoyed me from time to time, and i don't know how i feel about seraph as a character. the introduction which included how seraph and her bard husband met was a bit abrupt to me, because i didn't feel there was enough character buildup involved. or maybe i'm just slightly annoyed because we don't see too much romance between any of these characters?
anyway, to sum it up, i liked it, but perhaps not as much as some of her other ones. the covers seem a bit creepy too, and i'm not sure about that either. her daughter the weather witch is almost completely left out of this novel, and i don't know how i feel about that. the journey involved was nice though, and i appreciate it for that.
onto the next one then.
