Sequel to The Raven Heir, Stephanie Burgis’ The Raven Throne presents adventure-loving 9+-year-olds with a captivating brew of character-driven fantasy, courtly intrigue, ancient magic and unfaltering sibling support. The writing is nothing but richly visual, emotive, and distinctively compelling as 12-year-old Cordelia faces high-stakes trials as the newly-crowned Raven Queen.
“Before she became the Raven Queen, Cordelia had been free to fly as a hawk or run as a wolf through the wild forests. Her own shape had been endlessly adaptable until she had traded it for the vast land magic of the kingdom, rooting herself forever to mend the crown, heal the land and save her family. Now, she was trapped.” So the scene is set for an imaginative adventure story that sees an ancient darkness reawaken.
Firstly, Cordelia almost succumbs to a magical attack during sleep. Soon after, she falls into an enchanted slumber, and so her siblings undertake a dangerous mission to seek advice and assistance from the ancient spirits Cordelia made a binding pact with.
Tingling with mystery, treachery, self-sacrificing spirits, and the indomitable love between siblings, The Raven Throne is a radiantly rousing read.
