The book where I truly may reiterate please be mindful of the content and trigger warning associated. This books goes into so triggering topic and is pretty graphic in its depictions. 

the darkest book yet. This books foes so well on building more on many of the sides characters in this series and really builds on Neil’s relationship with the foxes out side of just the monsters. The Raven King also does a lot to build on Kevin and Andrew as characters separate from Neil. We get a deeper look into Kevin’s past and a idea of what his time with the Raven would have looked like, and we get a very graphic look into Andrew past and how they’ve formed him into the trouble person Neil meets. 

It’s dark, gripping, a difficult read at times, but overall extremely enjoyable.
