Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra

2.0

I wanted to like it. It had the fast pacing of Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and the monsters were wild and fun--a fresh taste to YA. But I still found myself disappointed overall by a certain lack of character depth, particularly from the antagonist, though certain aspects of many major characters kept falling flat to me, developments or changes in posture feeling unearned, rushed, or generally convenient. The ending is what sold me in my disappointment and what bumped me down from 2.5 to two stars.
