Chronicles of Steele: Raven by Pauline Creeden

5.0

Reading Chronicles of Steele: Raven (The complete Omnibus edition of the 4 part serial by the same name) all in one go rather than episode by episode was definitely the way to go for me. I don’t think I could have handled waiting for the next one to arrive in my hot little kindle’s hands!

An impressive blend of Steampunk and Fantasy and packed full of adventure, mystery, emotion, and romance. The story had me hooked from the beginning and didn’t want to let go. While really descriptive I found myself getting sucked into all of the little details and enjoying them rather than getting bored by them and skipping the fluff.

One of the things I enjoyed the most was that the minor characters were well integrated into the story and given a part in most things. A few of them got the short end of the straw though and I felt like they missed an opportunity for more moments with them. I’d love to tell you what those were but I don’t think I can without spoiling the story!

In my head the casting of Raven Steele was a bit off the described character, but I’d recently watched Lindsay Stirling’s cosplay video from Assassins Creed and the vibe really seemed to fit. If you’re checking out this review on Fabulous and Fun, I’ll have the video down below for you to check out.
