Dark Legacy: Raven Crawford, Book 4 by J.C. McKenzieMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Maybe 3.25 stars.
It's six years since the last book. raven has grown into her role as Queen of Corvids. There's also been a whole lot of things going on with her siblings in other series that I DID NOT know about. Bane, the Lord of War is still being a nuisance and has managed to engineer/take advantage of circumstances to bind Raven's younger sister Juni his caomhnóir (aka blood-bound guardian). Now Raven's younger sister is bound to her mortal enemy and is demanding that Raven drop the barriers she erected between the Mortal Realm and the fae realms.
Added to which, the trolls have come to seek Raven's assistance to find a missing troll prince, her brother Mike needs help finding a mortal boy who has been kidnapped, possibly by his mother who is estranged from his father. Also Raven's fox family have suddenly developed strange new physical attributes which are somehow linked to the issue which caused Juni to bind herself to Bane.
I love, love, loved the last book in this series. In retrospect t was clearly the finale of the series and this is the start of a new series. Hence this felt (to me) like scene setting, leading to lots of fun facts at the end of the novel but not really action-packed enough or with enough emotion to carry me along.
This is still a great series and I am definitely interested in where it is going next, but I also don't really want to read Raven eulogising about sex with Cole any more.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via Net Galley in return for an honest review.
