A review by menollyruth
The Raven and the Dove by Kaitlyn Davis

4.0

I was absolutely enthralled by this world. The wings, the different tribes, the religious undertones, the magic, I loved every little piece I was given of the world building. In fact I wanted there to be more of it. I also loved our characters. I loved the diversity in the characters and different tribes. Lyanna was fun and quirky and I enjoyed her so much. I also loved how principled Rafe was and how much he was obviously warring with himself over liking Lyanna. I also really enjoyed Lysander. He and Lyanna were so obviously wrong for each other but they were trying so hard, and I felt so bad for him, especially because he was so self-conscious about his disability. Honestly my least favorite part of this book was Cassie and her storyline. I felt like it lost a lot of tension with the early reveal, I really hated the confusing ending, which kind of came out of nowhere (specifically in terms of Rafe and Lysander's fates) and I honestly didn't know how to feel about Cassie for the entire book. An ending really makes or breaks a book for me, and this one wasn't my favorite. I am interested to see where it goes, however.
