A review by gonturans
A Raven's Heart by Kate Bateman, K.C. Bateman
Made it 35 pages in and they’ve already kissed despite his entire internal monologue being “but I can’t have herrrrrr I must resist wahhhhh”. Like my god, man, I want to see you SUFFER a little more.
Also lmao the heroine has a thin line of a scar across her forehead and it’s somehow utterly deforming? Excuse me? THAT is what wrecked her beauty to the point only men desperate for her money will court her? And she’s the only person at this costume party who would know who Bastet was in absolutely mad for ancient egypt regency Britain? I have to laugh.
The writing is average and annoyingly modern-feeling. Joanna Bourne, this is not.
