An Enchantment of Ravens

De: Margaret Rogerson

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts - even as she falls in love with a faerie prince - in this gorgeous debut novel.

Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel's paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron - Rook, the autumn prince - she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes - a weakness that could cost him his life.

Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt's ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love - and that love violates the fair folks' ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: For the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.

Loved it!

Big fan of the MC and love interest both. Very sweet and surprising story. Would definitely read again.

Delightful

This is an absolutely wonderfully written book. Held my delight the entire time. Cannot wait to read more by Margaret Rogerson

An entertaining fae story

What did you love best about An Enchantment of Ravens?

I loved the concept of fae not being able to create anything, and that being a solely human power. It added an interesting element to the power dynamics between the two species.

What did you like best about this story?

The writing was gorgeous, very detailed and atmospheric. This made me very happy to round the rating up. The audiobook narrator did a fantastic job in this as well.

Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan – was your favorite?

I thought that the main character was incredibly well portrayed by the narrator.

Any additional comments?

The romance was cute, but very cliché I must say, which made the plot pretty predictable. All the characters were very interesting and had strong voices.

Oh this book rocks

The writing was so good!!! The storyline was amazing! I was so happy to find such a good standalone!

That was something

Ummmm I mean it’s not bad? But like 17 year old and thousand year old? Gross. Gross gross. I felt like the plot only kicked in in the last half. The story would have been the same if not more believable if she was 25-30, why underage? Kinda creeped me out at some boys not gonna lie, not a fun fae book but a creepy one. If your desperate get this but if your not into fantasy don’t do it.

Pleasantly Surprised

I purchased this after seeing it on a Youtuber's least liked books list. I didn't have high expectations for it. An Enchantment of Ravens, however, truly surprised me with it's beautiful prose and wonderfully crafted characters and plot.

Loved it!!!

It’s an absolutely wonderful book! Margaret Rogerson is now one of my favorite authors! I loved this book and pretty much every book I’ve read or listened to by her! This story has been amazing to listen to, the performance and the story was so unique and so encompassing that I listened to it non stop. I Love love loved this book!

interesting blend of old ideas

The writing style strings you to find out what happens next. I enjoyed the blending of traditional ideas about the fey with some novel new ones in regards to human abilities to captivate the fey.

Being a painter myself

I enjoyed this one. It was very cute, and creative. I liked the dynamic between the two main characters.

Amazing Fairy Tale

I have read this book and reread about 10 times, and I can never get enough of it. Really beautiful tale that points out a moral to the story. The main character is strong and level-headed and of course, strikingly beautiful and talented and the autumn Prince is everything you can imagine from a fairy Prince, handsome, full of himself and shallow until you look past the surface and his full personality blooms with his growing feelings that he is, of course fighting off and unsure of. An epic tale of blooming romance, funny and awkward encounters, and the true merit of humanity over the banal, soulless existence of immortality. I wish there were more to tell but the story really ends quite nicely. This has become my comfort read and I would love to see it as a movie 😊💜
