Raven's Shadow

[Jen Croup]

Summary: The Raven mage Seraph must protect the world from a terror that threatens to reemerge after generations of imprisonment.

What I thought: I have to say I have not read another author who can create characters like Patricia Briggs can. You can't help but fall in love with everyone one of them. I felt Jes's pain and sadness about never going to fit in. Jes is a guardian which makes people uneasy being around him. Lahr is a hunter and never comes home without something for his family to eat. Rinnie is a weather witch and can control the weather and tell when a storm is coming. Seraph is a Raven which is kind of like the witch. She has the most magic. Tier is a Bard which is the story teller and the history keeper of the Travelers. Tier gets kidnapped and his family has to go and save him. You watch the kids go from having no clue what they are to start really coming into their powers. Jes and Lahr are the 2 that seem to struggle the most. Jes because he is the furthest from normal and Lahr because he fights the hardest to be just like everyone else.
