The Raven's Tale by Cat Winters
3.0
3/5 stars.
QUICK THOUGHTS:
• I was intrigued by this title and I don’t actually know too much about Edgar Allen Poe but I like historical fiction so I tried this.
• This book was ok. Not bad but not my favorite. I thought the idea of personification of his muse was certainly a unique point and it was actually cool to see how it played out.
• I can’t really attest to how historically accurate it is but it’s a work of fiction, though I recognized some of the characters in it! It was neat to see how he was portrayed as a teenager and what he went through.
• I enjoyed the snippets of poetry even though poetry also isn’t my thing. It was neat to see it woven into the story and how the muse worked with the development of the poetry.
• I don’t know what it was missing but it just wasn’t my favorite. Maybe because I read a really awesome book before this and then this wasn’t as good as that one.
