This book sounds right up my alley, especially after reading the review. A curse in Ancient Britannia? Yes, please! Thank you for the well-written and helpful review.

Roman historical fiction. A wonderful read indeed.

Sounds like a romantic novel with a lot of magic in it. I'm usually wary of romantic novels, especially because of erotic scenes. It sounds a bit like Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. I sure hope they do not possess similar endings, just saying.

This sounds like such an interesting read. From the historical nature to the talking to ravens. To have the ability to have ravens help you in a time of need. I've heard ravens are highly intelligent.

When I read the sample, I felt like it shouldn't end again. Though I don't really fancy magical stories, it seems like this story is just different.

A connection with ravens... That's an interesting angle... I love books hinging on such strong imaginations... This review definitely got my mind racing, as if I'd started reading the book! Can't wait to 'pick up the crumbs carefully dropped by the author, chapter by chapter'...
