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

4.0

This book has it all: angst, betrayal, competition, deception, dragons, forbidden romance, royalty, and a stunning cover.

The world building is definitely a strong point. How cool are floating islands in a sea of mist, where the people have wings and can fly? I want wings. I want to be able to fly. 

It did take me a while to warm up to the main characters. Rafe is very moody & brooding, and Lyana comes across as the spoiled princess. But they really do grow on you. I loved Cassi and Xander and hope to get more of them in the rest of the series.

I wanted more from the Courtship Trials. A competition for young royals to find their mates is such an interesting premise, but it fell a little flat for me.

Plenty of questions are answered throughout to keep the reader satisfied, but it leaves just enough unanswered to keep you wanting more. I’m definitely interested in checking out the next book in the series to see what happens next.

I received a free copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
