A review by jlannh
Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra

3.5

While it feels realistic that the young, proud protagonist first needs to grow as a person and seek guidance before figuring it out – the slowburn romance subplot, driven by poor communication, is not my cuppa tea. Besides that, and a slow start, this is a solid YA historical fantasy – set in India and filled with fast-paced action, twisty political intrigue, and thoughtful ethical dilemmas.
