4.0

dark emotional funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Despite its flaws, "Raven of the Inner Palace" was still a fun book to read. It is a beautiful story of human connection, attachment, and also of freedom and sacrifice. Although the prose isn't to my liking and some characters deserved more depth (which I assume will be explored in the later volumes), it is still a charming story and deserves more recognition.

3.5

I think I had too high expectations for this book. I thought the Raven was going to be like the equivalent of an assassin in western novels. It's more of she can use magic and goes on Scooby Doo chases of finding perpetrators or why a ghost is in a place it shouldn't be. It has some mystery, but I'm not sure if I'll read the next one or not and thus, putting this on the "maybe" shelf.

That said, it's a pretty fun read. Prose reminds me of an English teacher doing her first light novel. Which isn't bad, it's just a bit too clean.

But read this book if you want a different pace in light novels
