Rating: 3.5/5

This volume felt like a filler for the next part of the series, but it was still fairly enjoyable. I loved the development between Raven & Ximena obviously!! They better confess their feelings for each other or I'll scream.

I picked this up at Denver Comic Con this year and had a chance to talk to Jeremy Whitley about the age level at which you could give a kid Raven. Raven is a kissing book and a fighting book, and so really it should e at any age when kids start to appreciate kissing/fighting books. What it really boiled down to though, was whether or not said kid's parents are ok with queer characters, and it's sad that that is what it boils down to, which I guess means that we should give more kids these books. This series is not about being queer; it's about swash-buckling pirate adventures with love triangles built in as they are built into 90% of YA (btw, is it wrong that the more it looks like Raven/Ximena is a thing, the more I want RavenShine to be a thing? Am I just contrary? Probably). This characters just happen to be queer, and I think a lot more kids are smart enough to realize that is not a big deal than their parents.

Continuing to see the hijinks that these women get into and out of. So much fun!

Book Three in the Raven series finds Raven’s crew bruised and battered after the battle at the Island of the Free Women. With Ximena hurt, Raven goes in search of a healer that can help. As she leaves she enlists others to sit by Ximena’s bedside and tell her stories.

I really enjoyed the stories told by the other characters in the series. It gives insight into who they are and how they landed on an all-girl pirate ship. I liked this book better than the last due to more character development and a little more to the story than just a battle.f

I love this series for its meta feminism, its many wonderful characters, and its character dynamics. The plot doesn't progress too much in this one, but the characters are worth it. This continues to be one of my favorite series. (For those of you that don't know, our protagonist is a lesbian and of Asian descent.)
