“Why do we desire, above all other things, that which has the greatest power to destroy us?”

Short, romantic, and beautifully atmospheric, An Enchantment of Ravens was like a magical DCOM with a really high budget and fantastic color-grading.

That is to say: this wasn't my favorite, but it was by no means bad. It was (mostly) an enjoyable read with many aspects I love, such as creepy forests and fae that are actually frightening. It's also poorly paced, with severe insta-love and (in my opinion) a plot that was predictable to the point of making the story boring.

I think if I had connected with the characters more, I might not have minded the plotting issues. Since I didn't really feel much for the main characters or their romance, these aspects felt much more obvious than they might to someone else.

There was also one of the worst romantic lines I have ever read:

"It was like riding him as a horse again." (said as she's straddling his waist and kissing him for the first time.)

This might not bother some people, but I kept thinking of this line for the rest of the book and cracking up all over again.

Overall, my issues aside, this was fun! I'd recommend it to people looking for a quick, magical, autumnal read that displays some of the darker, warped versions of the fae (just... be careful with this book if you struggle with any kind of food.)
