Book Review: Ravenminder by Lindsay Cummings
Wow! This book was so unique and absolutely incredible! I loved it!! I devoured it! I was hooked right from the start! It was everything you could ever want in a romantasy! A strong, brave, and fierce heroine that you can't help but adore. Not one, but two, completely different yet loveable MMCs! Amazing worldbuilding with a captivating high-stakes plot. The concept of a raven gryphon was utterly unique, and Six holds a special place in my heart. The author did a fantastic job of weaving characters that have their own strengths and flaws. I couldn't help but love them for how real they were!
Perhaps what I loved the most was how Ezer grew throughout the book. Her bond with Six and the way she slowly discovered herself was so beautiful to read. She not only survived but found herself.
Now, I'm not usually a fan of the love triangle trope, but it was so well executed in this book, and I was switching sides constantly (ugh)! Though, I do have to say right now, I am team Arawnπ₯ BUT Kinlear better get his own happily ever after in some way or else!
The writing was so vivid! Cummings created an incredible fantasy world that pulled me in from the start, and the action-packedplot and loveable characters kept me there unable to turn the pages quick enough! I did not see the plot twists and the cliffhanger ending coming, but it makes me desperate for book 2 because I NEED to know what happens next!
This book will have you kicking your feet and swooning; your heart pounding and gasping in shock! I truly can't recommend it enough!π€π

β¨οΈHe brought her books with stories of brave knights. Stories of princes and princesses and dragons, where she'd learned that not every character needed saving. And not every villain needed to be slayed.οΈβ¨
οΈβ¨"Broken things are beautiful, too."οΈβ¨
οΈβ¨But Ezer knew better than most children just how valuable stories could be. How they lasted longer than flowers or sweets or lovely little trinkets. How they so often took on a life of their own.οΈΒ β¨
