Book Review
"Do you believe in magic?" I did after I read Ravens Shadow by Patricia Briggs. This book is about a soldier named Tier who is returning from the war and meets a traveler named Seraph. Tier and Seraph travel back to Redern Tier's hometown. Tier is welcomed there but Seraph is not. So to save Seraph from being executed, Tier makes the decision to marry Seraph. They start a farm a couple minutes away from Redern and raise a family there. They have three children Jes, Lehr, and Rinnie. One winter Tier goes trapping and gets kidnapped along the way. Seraph eventually finds out and must go to Taela, the capital city, to rescue Tier and save her family. Along the way Seraph meets many friends including Phoran the 27th, the clan of Rongier the Librarian, and Hennea a sole traveler such as Seraph is. This book is full of wonderful adventures, lots of magic, and many climaxes.
There are many characters in this book. Seraph is a traveler, a person who travels and protects non travelers from danger. She is the sole survivor from her traveler clan of Isolda the Silent. She is a raven, which is an order of traveler status that makes her a traveler wizard. She is very stubborn, headstrong, and intelligent, all which help her on her journey to rescue Tier. Seraph is important to this story because she adds a lot of excitement, fun, and her own taste of magic. Tier is also an order bearer, though he is not a traveler. Tier is an owl also known as a bard. He is very good with people and is a good singer. Tier is also very intelligent but is calm and patient unlike Seraph. He is important to this story because although he is held hostage he plays a big role. Both of these characters are believable because I can relate to them in some way or another.
This book is definitely fantasy because of all the magic and types of creatures in it. I would recommend this book to Middle through High schoolers. I would rate this book a 9 out of 10. I would rate it this because it has lots of magic and exciting battles in it. This book will keep you reading because it is bubbling with interest all the way to the top. Patricia Briggs came up with many new twists and turns throughout the book so that your attention will surely be held, mine was. If you read this book I will guarantee it will make you believe in magic too.
