Review
If you had asked me before reading this book if one could write so many different stories about ravens, my answer would have been a categorical no. Since reading the book I am blown away by the sheer scale of the stories and the fear and beauty contained within them. I loved this book from beginning to end. There are only 15 stories in a lengthy book, so the stories are not a quick read, but I still found myself wanting to read just one more. Each story is fascinating, gripping, well written, and totally different to the previous one. The one common factor is ravens or at least one raven. I would say the genre is gothic fantasy; not one I usually read but I am a new convert. If you like short stories this collection will not disappoint. I am delighted to say that On Raven’s Wing was a finalist in the 2022 Imadjinn award and the winner of the International Edgar Alan Poe Festival 2022 Saturday Visitor Award. Very well deserved in my opinion.
