The Last Raven by Helen Glynn Jones is sure to become your next fantasy obsession. It is truly amazing! Helen Glynn Jones, you have captivated me and I eagerly anticipate the next installment.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. This book was nowhere near Twilight, I don't know why it's even compared to it. Ignoring that though, I really enjoyed this book. Its a story about a human girl born to vampire parents who spent her young life being sheltered. There is a lot of intrigue and betrayal. I think it's a great read. I read it in one day.

I want to start by saying thank you to Netgalley and One More Chapter for the e-ARC copy of the book.

I was initially intrigued by the plot and premise of this book, as it’s been advertised as a romance that Twilight fans would love. But it did not live up to the expectations that I had for it. The world-building element felt very lost in this book. It was characters essentially in a modern-day Earth age (skinny jeans, laptops, phones, etc.) instead of a vampire kingdom.

I also felt that the plot was lacking some depth and didn’t make a lot of sense at times. Her father is supposed to be hundreds of years old, yet a 17-year-old is an heir. I could keep going on with the things I caught in this book.

Overall, it’s not one I recommend and I feel that it was missing a lot of crucial elements to really be a true romantasy book.

From the blurb I though I was really going to enjoy this book, especially with it being compared to Twilight. Unfortunately, "The Last Raven" wasn't a great fit me. I wasn't a fan of the writing style or direction the story took and I also felt like some of the plot points just didn't add up or make sense to me.
I probably wouldn't read any further books in this series.

Thank you Helen Glynn Jones, Net Galley and One More Chapter for providing me with an ARC of this book.
