![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s talk about the magic of the fair folk. If you write a story that wraps up in one book, please don’t leave so many loose threads. And that’s not a good thing for a standalone. What is this Good Law? Why and when and by whom was it created? What is in it? Why is the town of Whimsy special? What is the World Beyond? I have so many questions, even after finishing this book. This was yet another book I was excited about, but it fell flat. I should really stop having high expectations for books, I fear. Can Isobel use her skill to fight the fairy courts? But the biggest threat of all is their growing love for one another. ![]() On their way to Rook’s court, they meet ghostly hounds and other hideous monsters. One day, Isobel receives a royal patron – Rook, the autumn prince -, but when she paints mortal sorrow in his eyes, a furious Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial. ![]() These immortal creatures can’t create anything themselves, so they turn to humans to bake bread, weave cloth, and so on. Meet Isobel, a talented portrait artist whose clients are the fair folk. An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson promises the story of a human painter standing up against the ancient power of the faerie courts and falling in love with a faerie prince. After the futuristic Wildcard, it’s time to dive back into a fantasy setting filled with the Fair Folk. ![]()
