This sounds like a great book. Your review was very helpful, and I really like that you shared some topics that are included, for future readers consider. This can be very helpful for parents who are helping their older children choose interesting books that are developmentally appropriate. Great job!

Her ability to warg Reminds Me of Bran of game of Thrones. An amazing gift but very tiring. Thank you for review.

A story about a girl who can connect with ravens... I don't think I've ever heard of a book like that. This sounds like a great novel with the perfect mix of mystery and mythology. Great review. :)

Great, detailed review! The plot reminds of the same as "The Shadow Crucible" by T.M. Lakomy which I really enjoyed and recommend to anyone, especially after reading "Apollo's Raven". It seems to have the dark, mysterious twist on historical truths (or myths) that challenges imagination and perception.

I haven't read an epic fantasy tale in a while, and this sounds like quite an enjoyable one! After reading the preview and this review, I have to put the book on my to read list!

An ancient prophecy, mystery, and mythology sounds like an epic adventure. Can't wait to read it. Congrats on being BOTD.

I love the book, who doesn't love an epic story of love and ancient powers. This review describes the book extremely well and will attract others who are interested in fantasy and love.

I really enjoyed the introduction which gets the reader involved immediately with shapeshifting teleportation and escalates into a conflict that ensures many twists and turns in the developing story. The historical background lends credence to the story. The dual cultural encounter of Celtic druids and Roman legions is very interesting too. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story and to find out what happens to the princess and her family as they battle the forces of a backstabbing brother and his treachery.
