The Raven Scholar

Named for the Raven, but this book is the Fox, weaving in and out of so many different things at once. It is clever, wily, funny, and romantic, at times tragic and heart-breaking and so, so hopeful. I can see this being a favourite fantasy pick for many readers this year.

Embodies my new fave genre-mash, murder mystery meets epic fantasy. I cannot wait to see what adventures await for Neema and Cain, I want to dive back into this world already.
