really enjoyed The Raven Scholar. phenomenal pacing, real and tangible stakes, and that magic “lived-in world” that so many try for and fail to achieve. it played with the reader’s expectations nicely as well — it constantly dares you to say “i see where this is going”

also nice: that feeling of unpredictability is both thematic and earned. there aren’t subversions for the sake of subversion or twists just to trick you. it all fits in the end, like any good puzzle. the humor works as well! i happily recommend The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

This one's been sitting on my shelf for a while, reckon this is the push I need to read it. Cheers!
