desertcart.com: Mark of the Raven ( Book #1): A Clean No-Spice Romantasy Trilogy Series with Romance and Fantasy (The Ravenwood Saga) eBook : Busse, Morgan L.: Kindle Store

Review: Griping read! - I’m struggling with the correct words to describe this book. It’s definitely not a light, fun read, but it is a gripping read. It can be very dark at times, but also filled with hope. I had a hard time putting it down. Most of this book is Selene struggling with not wanting to follow in her mom’s footsteps, and feeling hopeless that she doesn’t have a choice without hurting her sisters and house. At times I felt frustrated with Selene’s indecisiveness, and by the end of the book I was beyond ready for her to make her choice. That being said though, the story was interesting enough that I could over look my frustration. Damien was a breath of fresh air. I liked his POV. He brought the much needed hope to the story. I thought the world building and writing was great. Each house having a gift is interesting and I’m curious to see what dreamwalking can do when used for good. The pacing was for the most part good. It did drag a bit with Selene’s struggle with choosing what to do. Content: no swearing, no sex, some mild to moderate violence.
Review: A Marked Lady with an Irrevocable Destiny...or Is It? - A Christian-based fantasy with a somewhat Medieval motif? Yes, please! Morgan L. Busse's latest impressed me, in more ways than one. The Great Houses and their gifts are beautifully written and fascinating. Although the spiritual elements in Mark of the Raven are subtle, the Great Houses' gifts hearkened back to spiritual ones for me. I also appreciated that, instead of creating a post-apocalyptic modern world like so many other authors, Morgan went the fantasy route. Lady Selene, Lord Damien, and others are complex characters well worth rooting for. Selene in particular captured my interest, as a character who is forced to make horrible choices but wants the light so much she would literally sacrifice everything to get it. In turn, Lord Damien and his motivations are also well-developed. As the youngest-ever lord of House Maris, he wins sympathy instantly, without pity. He shows himself to be a strong hero worth falling for, although he doesn't get as much page time as Lady Selene. Even the villains of Mark of the Raven are three-dimensional and somewhat sympathetic, precisely because you know they are going about meeting their goals the wrong way and wish they could see it. Lady Ragna netted a mix of disdain and pity from me. I also thoroughly enjoyed the secondary characters, like Renata and Pieter. I'm curious to know what happens to Renata later and if she ever finds any sort of healing. The romance between Damien and Selene was not unexpected for me, but the circumstances and outcome of it, and the cliffhanger ending, certainly was. Bravo, Morgan, for a couple of great twists. At times, Mark of the Raven seems longer than it needs to be, but in general, this is a unique and refreshingly subtle contribution to the Christian fantasy genre. Whether or not this is usually your type of book, I encourage you to try it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible story!
*by J***S on June 16, 2019*

Mark of the Raven is the first in the Ravenwood Saga and it sucked me right in. Lady Selene is heiress to House Ravenwood. Each of the great houses possesses a gift and secrets. Selene's gift is dreamwalking--a gift the other houses thought had died out long ago. Her secret is that she posses the gift and uses it for evil--but for the good of those who depend on her great house--or so her mother says. This doesn't sit well with Selene, so she sacrifices herself, burying her feelings deep within to protect herself for the good of her people. But an outside threat is encroaching and the houses are called together in hopes of uniting. But Selene's mother has other plans. Then Selene visits the dreams of a guest and finds a bright soul--something she didn't know exists, something she doesn't understand, something she desires. Mark of the Raven is a unique story with characters who tug on your heartstrings as you learn their hopes, dreams, and fears and keep you turning the pages, hoping that they'll make the right choices. This masterfully written story is dark and hopeful in all the right ways. If you enjoy original stories with intrigue, incredible world building, and characters you'll love, dig into Mark of the Raven.
