FBRC REVIEW :

DISCLAIMER : Thank you so much Netgalley and Kaitlyn Davis for providing me with an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The avian-inspired fantasy is the first book to The Raven And The Dove series. Man!! What a great start to a series. I was hooked from the very beginning. The book simply was amazing and so well written. The world-building and the magic were fascinating. The characters were layered and really wonderful. The cast simply was phenomenal. The complexity of the characters and the twists and turns will leave you wanting more. Ana, Xander, Rafe, and Cassie are the four main characters driving the plot forward. We have a mysterious King who will stop at nothing to fulfill a prophecy. Ana has this vivacious, bubbly personality that is infectious and charming. Xander is the Prince who is very practical, straight forward and follows the rules. Rafe is the moody, grumpy Prince who has a lot of weight on his shoulders. He is bound by duty and his love for Xander keeps him in the Kingdom. Cassie is amazing as a character and she is the best this story has to offer. The multiple POVs make this book fascinating as you get to be in their shoes and get to know their thought processes and motivations. A story of lies, betrayal, love, and secrecy brings us the perfect story that will enthrall you and keep you hooked till the end. I loved every second of this book. I had to take a small break to deal with the emotional upheaval the ending caused me. The book was engaging, the plot was riveting, the ending drove me to tears, I wanted to physically attack certain characters, magical adventures, forbidden romance, cutting betrayals, need I say more?? I gave the book 5 stars. I can't wait to read the next book. I already got my copy of the prequel novel The Princess And The Pawn from the author's website. I'll be diving into it soon.
