A review by kylahanley
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
4.0
I love the commentary of being remembered and immortality
And the discussion of jealousy between the fairies and the humans
Like the fairies live forever but don't truly live they are just empty shells wandering the world mimicking human emotion but never truly feeling it
How they envy humans for their craft which in this book can be considered like their purpose people who have seen the movie "Soul" might know what I'm getting at and how like one fairy who used to be human lost her purpose or what she simply like to do in life for immortality
haven't really read too many books that have immortal people but the ones I have read try to paint the immortal life as the best and most fulfilling thing but when you really think about it it probably would be the most miserable
And the moments like with the character Aster you can really see that and it's beautifully written
I hope all that made sense
