The book has the merit to have a quite good writing style, especially regarding the descriptions. The author knows how to give a nice twists to her fantasy elements, I haven’t read anything like that. The vibe is very whimsical and magical while being intriguing and sometimes strange and unsettling.
The strong point of the book for me was the fact that Margaret Rogerson writes her fae as faes are supposed to be in fairytales. Unhuman, cold, cruel, unattractive. Her writing style that dares to be unsettling is what raised my rating to 3 stars.
The interactions between Rook and Isobel were quite interesting and meaningful during their journey in the forest.
However, the story was at times quite long and lagging, especially towards the end. The resolution was a little bit anticlimactic for my taste.

The story was original and interesting, but the rythm was kinda weird.

After a long reading slump, this is the book that brought me back. Rook was the perfect black cat to Isobel's golden retriever. I appreciated aspects to the fae that Margaret brought to life, such as the inability to lie and the flaws in their glamours. The characters were well fleshed out, and the romance was perfect. It was such an easy read, and I literally found myself unable to put it down, gobbling it up in just two days. It was perfectly paced for a stand-alone book, and while the pacing was weird at times, it read beautifully as a whole. It was such a cute, banter-filled, light, romantasy book (AKA just what I needed!).
Dawno nie czytałam tak przyjemnej książki.
Jeśli chcecie fae rodem z Cruel Prince, jeśli chcecie całkiem przekonującego romansu z rozsądną główną bohaterką i ciekawego świata, to w sumie jest to książka dla was.
Podchodziłam do niej jak fo jeża, no bo to kolejna książka o fae, ale kiedy w końcu dorwałam ją w audiobooku zdecydowanie się nie zawiodłam.
Autorka ma świetny styl i podobało mi się to równie mocno jak Magia Cierni.
Idealnie trafiło w moje gusty, szczególnie fakt, że główna bohaterka maluje <3
Poza tym, jak na tak krótką książkę (8h), mamy całkiem nieźle rozwinięte postaci i przedziwną magię fae, które umilą wam czytanie.

This was the book I needed to get out of my reading slump. A little fantasy, a little romance, and little action and adventure. A standalone that isn’t too complex or long. Just an overall enjoyable read
An Enchantment of Ravens* has a lot going for it—gorgeous writing, a cool concept with fae and art, and a whimsical, magical vibe. The descriptions are so vivid that it’s easy to picture everything, and the setting feels alive.
That said, the story itself didn’t completely hook me. The romance between Isobel and Rook felt rushed, and I didn’t get enough time to really connect with their relationship. The pacing was a bit uneven, too—some parts dragged while others flew by too quickly.
It’s a nice, light fantasy that’s easy to enjoy if you’re into fae stories, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. Worth checking out if you want something quick and pretty, but don’t expect it to blow you away.
