It was very enchanting, romantic, and despite the high fantasy themes it never really strayed from domesticity which I quite enjoyed.
I think I prefer it as a stand alone because it reads as a lovely fairytale where love conquers all.

2.5, the romance didn’t make sense and seemed very abrupt and it felt so similar to other fantasy books it didn’t have much originality. that being said i did like the characters and was interested to see how things would go but i wasn’t drawn in enough to be on the edge of my seat

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I loved everything about this book. The way it was written was magical, the characters lifted off the page and the writing was captivating. This was a great, more traditional take on the fae and it was original and unforgettable. Possibly the best book I will read this year.

I like the author’s writing style but I feel like she could explained more about the world and the characters’ background.

well first, she’s SEVENTEEN. The world building is incredible as it is in all of Roberson’s work but the romance is the weakest part of a story that is exclusively romance driven. Also she’s SEVENTEEN.

An Enchantment of Ravens is a young adult fantasy romance novel that tells the story of Isobel, who is a master of painting. She paints portraits of the Fair Folk, and when she paints human emotion into a portrait of the Autumn Prince, he steals her away for a trial in the Fair Folk lands.
When calling this novel a fantasy romance novel, I put heavy emphasis on the romance. This is not to say that there isn't a lot of fantasy elements in the novel, because there are lot, but is because the novel and plot is entirely driven by romance. The romantic aspects are introduced very early in the plot, but I hesitate to deem it "insta-love" because after reading the whole novel, I see how the romance plays into every part of the book. There are moments where I think others may find that Isobel is annoyingly weak, but I leaned on the more forgiving side and those moments didn't bother me. They were times of physical weakness, which I think were well-deserved given the circumstances she was in. Isobel is logical and clever, and I liked hearing her voice. I also really enjoyed the Aster storyline, and Lark is among one of my top characters for this novel.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! At first I was a little skeptical because the reviews were pretty biased, but this was a truly good standalone fantasy! A lot of people complained about the fact that it is under 300 pages but this did not bothered me at all. I was well done!
