Blurb from Goodreads:
Neryn has finally found the rebel group at Shadowfell, and now her task is to seek out the elusive Guardians, vital to her training as a Caller. These four powerful beings have been increasingly at odds with human kind, and Neryn must prove her worth to them. She desperately needs their help to use her gift without compromising herself or the cause of overthrowing the evil King Keldec.
Neryn must journey with the tough and steadfast Tali, who looks on Neryn's love for the double agent Flint as a needless vulnerability. And perhaps it is. What Flint learns from the king will change the battlefield entirely—but in whose favor, no one knows.
This is an incredible book. I have no words but those to say. Juliet Marillier always entertains, evokes emotion and delights her readers. There is no second book woes here. In fact, I think I like this one better than the first one. The first one built a perfectly wonderful world, but Raven Flight added so much more to the world. I have been raving to anyone who will listen about this author since I picked up Daughter of the Forest by accident at the library. I very rarely make purchases of books on the release day, but Marillier's books are one of the exceptions. She continually works her magic with her amazing world building and incredible characters. My only complaint is that there is too much of the journey motif in both books. I was glad when (view spoiler).
And she makes you think. What are the consequences in war? How responsible are the leaders when sending troops into battle? Neryn wrestles with this. I love how Marillier has depicted her journey as she tries to answer these questions.
I am starting right away on the next book. Love this series!
Content - there is nothing objectionable in this series so far. Characters spend a chaste night together. No language. Some violence.
