Review of Apollo's Raven
[Following is a volunteer review of "Apollo's Raven" by Linnea Tanner.]
Apollo’s Raven by Linnea Tanner is book one in the Curse of Clansmen and Kings series. It is a tale of budding romances, kingdoms colliding, and magical forces. It opens with Princess Catrin discovering Romans on their shoreline. With the help of her raven, she can obtain a closer look into what is happening. To her utter dismay, she discovers her half-brother with the army. Her father, King Amren, has forbidden her use of the raven powers she is developing, but she needs to forewarn him. Will Catrin be able to warn her father in time? What will the king do when he discovers her use of her raven’s abilities?
The Roman empire is looking to expand its way through Britannia. Senator Lucius Antonius and Decimus Flavius, head of Lucius’s army, are set to lead the charge on orders from the Roman Emperor. Lucius brought his son Marcellus along in hopes he would learn more about politics and leadership. However, Lucius’s plan begins falling apart when Marcellus volunteers to stay behind as a hostage during negotiations between kings. What risky games is Lucius playing? Why has Marcellus volunteered to stay with the enemy?
Linnea Tanner transports us on a thrilling adventure through Britannia. We witness forbidden romance, lies, deceit, treachery, and preternatural abilities. The ability to keep you turning the pages is awe-inspiring. Honestly, I could not set the book down. Her character development was unique. The use of italics to offset the characters' thoughts and feelings was executed brilliantly. It was effortless to follow which character had control at every turn.
I enormously enjoyed every aspect of this book. The characters were one of my favorite things. They were each very different in the roles they portrayed throughout. The images of the characters, scenes, and landscaping were strong enough to picture them like I was there and experiencing it firsthand. I do enjoy how the title makes more sense towards the end of the book. There was absolutely nothing to dislike about this story other than it was not long enough. I was instantly and eagerly ready to read book two.
Apollo’s Raven by Linnea Tanner was professionally edited as I discovered no errors; therefore, I award it 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance and fantasy. This story contains brief sexual scenarios, violence, supernatural abilities, and references to war. While none of this takes away from the story, I recommend the book to a more mature audience.
