Firstly, I like that the main character is a woman and the fact that she ia able to connect with ravens makes it even more captivating. I would definitely want to read a book which mentions an ancient curse. Thanks for a review very well written

Plot sounds very interesting. I also like the idea of being able to see through the Raven's eyes. Thanks for the great review.

Great review! You had me almost from the very beginning "Sorcery. Deception. Mythology. Druids. Shape shifting. A prophecy. An ancient curse." Being a fantasy lover that in itself grabbed my attention but your enthusiasm for reading it every time you picked it up just threw it over the top. Thanks so much for sharing.

Sounds very "Romeo and Juliet." This definitely is a book I could get into. Your review is very thorough and very well written.

An epic tale of love, magic, and adventure. I can tell Catrin is a strong female character. Hopefully, she's strong enough to save Britannia and embrace her love for Marcellus. Thank you for the review!

This is not typically my preferred genre but it sounds like it was a well-crafted and straightforward story. Perhaps a final round of editing might be beneficial :)
