A review by xiaodejao
The Raven by Jonathan Janz
4.0
First of all, the writing is superb. I've heard of this author before and seen his books here on bookstagram many times, but this is my first time reading one of his books. Thanks to Netgalley and to Flame Tree Press for the opportunity.
This could have been too much with all the mythical creatures involved, but, holy damn, it worked out pretty solid for me. The explanation about how they came to be is genius! Also, the fight scenes aren't that hard to follow, which is my problem with a lot of action-packed books.
I love the main character and his struggles psychologically. I thought his character is so well-written, I especially enjoyed reading the journal entries. And I wouldn't mind reading a prequel of this (before the event).
I would say, though, that this one is set up for a sequel, which is actually exciting!
Fast-paced, action-packed! Dark and graphic! I gave this one a solid four stars.
