The amount of times I was giggling and blushing throughout this book is actually insane. I thoroughly enjoyed An Enchantment of Ravens and had so much fun reading it. I definitely agree with my favorite booktuber, Caricanread, who says that this book is written like a fairytale. Truer words have never been spoken. The main part I enjoyed about this book was the romance. It was extremely fast-paced yet very believable and well done, which is a hard combination to achieve. Rook is the love of my life and Isobel made a wonderfully clever protagonist (and their chemistry is amazing as I said earlier)! All in all a wonderful book that I very much recommend!

If you’re up for a fast read with an interesting enemies-to-lovers plot, including a powerful yet endearing fairy prince, this will be right up your alley. The romance started off a bit clumsy to me and even though I might have enjoyed an elaborate buildup - and solid foundation for feelings to grow on - probably a lot more … sometimes this is simply the way people fall in love. Some love stories don’t take over four books to get to the point. I’ve learnt I can appreciate the ‘shortcuts’ as well as the careful, dwindling paths. 🤍

I can also appreciate both Isobel and Rook’s flaws. Perfect characters make it harder to relate to their struggles. Just like it happened to Isobel, all sides to Rook (even the less charming ones) grew on me and I could certainly understand Isobel’s Craft being the very thing that gives her life, despite not being immortal. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating from me!

I had high expectations for this book and sadly I was let down. Having read Sorcery of Thorns back in January and LOVING it, I thought it would be a similar experience here. In reality, this book was really underwhelming. The plot was incredibly weak, relying on the romance to carry it. But I couldn't get behind the romance, either, as it's an Edward-Bella situation where the guy, Rook, is at least a centenarian, and the girl Isobel is only 17. It was also instalove, which I really don't like. Finally, there were also unresolved elements once the book had ended.
While Rook and Isobel end up being "legally" together as the Good Law no longer exists, Isobel is still a mortal who will age and die and this was never really addressed. Also, nothing was really done with the storyline relating to painting the Fair Folk with human emotions, and how they responded to that.


However, this book had some redeeming qualities. It was relatively enjoyable, and very easy to read. I also liked Rogerson's writing style. Rook and Isobel as characters were entertaining and felt real, though they weren't quite loveable (although March and May were). Finally, the world building was unique and fascinating, as it was in Sorcery of Thorns.
