![]() My first impression of Tali was that she was a female warrior of the hardass I-have-no-time-for-puny-nonwarrior-females-like-you-go-mend-something variety, and honestly, it took some time for that impression to be disproved. There are several types of stock female warrior characters. In RAVEN FLIGHT, we get to know some of the characters we’d barely met at the end of SHADOWFELL. Ominous foreshadowings, beautifully imagined Fae creatures (and by “beautifully” I don’t mean pretty-I mean convincingly alien creatures to blow your friggin’ mind), the bittersweet longing of new love kept apart, heartbreaking but necessary truths learned by both the characters and the reader<-THIS is why Juliet Marillier will always have a spot on the bookshelf of my heart. RAVEN FLIGHT was everything I expected SHADOWFELL to be and then some. But I’m a big enough Marillier fan, and I saw enough glimpses of the excellence I’ve come to expect from her that it wasn’t difficult to make myself continue with the series. ![]() ![]() ![]() I wasn’t very impressed with the first installment of this trilogy. ![]()
