A review by storiedadventures
Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra
3.0
*Received an e-arc from the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
I am really struggling with the rating here. There were elements I liked and elements I didn't like.
It might be a "not for me" type of thing because everyone else seems to be raving about this one. It's likened to An Ember in the Ashes series (which is one of my all time favorite series) and I didn't get those vibes at all.
Here's what I liked: The idea of the FMC being the guardswoman to the princes. The monsters/ monster hunting/ Indian mythology. The magic system seems cool. And the big reveal/ big ending
Here's what I didn't like: By the time we get to the fast paced big ending stuff, I still wasn't connected to any of the characters. I didn't feel for any of them. I just had feelings of indifference. I honestly almost DNF'd it several times because I didn't care for the characters.
This book just didn't pull me in as much as I wanted it to.
