Mark of the Raven

The Ravenwood Saga, Book 1

De: Morgan L. Busse

Narrado por: Jaimee Draper

Lady Selene is the heir to the Great House of Ravenwood and the secret family gift of dreamwalking. As a dreamwalker, she can enter a person's dreams and manipulate their greatest fears or desires. For the last hundred years, the Ravenwood women have used their gift of dreaming for hire to gather information or to assassinate.

As she discovers her family's dark secret, Selene is torn between upholding her family's legacy - a legacy that supports her people - or seeking the true reason behind her family's gift.

Her dilemma comes to a head when she is tasked with assassinating the one man who can bring peace to the nations, but who will also bring about the downfall of her own house.

One path holds glory and power and will solidify her position as Lady of Ravenwood. The other path holds shame and execution. Which will she choose? And is she willing to pay the price for the path chosen?

So glad this is on audiobook!

This book is amazing! Of course, I knew it would be since I've adored every single novel this author has ever written! I was so excited that one of her books is finally on audiobook!

This one started off slow. But the sort of slow where the plot and worldbuilding are unfolding like a flower, one petal at a time. Just at the moment when I wasn't sure where this was going, stuff started happening, deceptions upon deceptions and betrayals and plots and planned assassinations, and everything just got tense and crazy.

This is a great start to this new series, and now I am even more eager for book two!

Also, I read most of this book via audiobook, and the audiobook version is well done. The narrator does a really good job! There was a couple parts where the voices weren't as distinct as they could have been, but for the most part the narrator speaks clearly and in a pleasant tone that moves along at a balanced clip without dragging the story down. I hope the next books in the series have the same narrator since she did such a good job!

Epic

I read this book a year ago and was pleased to find it on audio book. I feel like the narrator got the voices right, especially Lady Ragna's. Perfect job. Now to go and get the next one.

Goosebumps

Wow! Well done, Morgan Busse. And well done, Jaimee Draper. I forgot I was listening to one person. Mark of the Raven is a riveting fantasy that gave me chills at multiple points through the story. I’ve already made my advanced purchase of the next book.

Loved it

I was in the market for Christian fiction that wasn’t overtly Christian and boy did I find it with this one. This book was a great read, it’s style, format, and even vocabulary was simple but that all made for a clean read. I wouldn’t rate it as one of the greatest books I’ve ever read but just an overall good read that I’m happy I got to experience. The audio version was great. Definitely grabbing book two!

The narrator needs to be replaced

The narrator is very breathy and made the story really difficult to listen to. I haven’t finished the book yet but her reading is very distracting.

Excellent series!

This is an excellent series, a very well written story of light vs darkness, personal growth, and romance. The characters are realistic, the magic/gifts unique, and it kept me reading well past my bedtime.

The series is clean in language and without sex. There’s some heated kissing, but it’s tasteful… and oh what a beautiful love story :-)

Highly recommended!

soooo good!

This book kept my attention from beginning to end and I'm so excited and impatient to read the next one!

Creative!

This was such a creative start to the series! Such a unique perspective on fear and light! I was very impacted by it and would definitely listen to again! Now on to book 2!

Enjoyable

Overall satisfactory story, great narration, I just wrapped up book 2 and realized I forgot to review book 1 because I was in such excitement to start the next book.

So good!!!

Well written gem! Characters were likable, the conflict believable. The author does a great job of infusing Christian themes in a fantastical world. I’m thrilled to finally find clean reading that isn’t cheesy and devoid of real conflict and human emotions!
