This "WIR"-Wednesday I'm finally reading a book I've wanted to read for so many months now and finally tracked down at a used bookstore..
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Blurb:
A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie prince—in this gorgeous debut novel.
Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his life.
Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love—and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.
Why I Chose This Book | What I Think So Far:
I first heard about An Enchantment of Ravens from a fellow book blogger around the time of its' release last fall and fell instantly in cover love with Charlie Bowater's stunning cover! I was hoping for this book for Christmas but I didn't get it and it wasn't until I found a copy at Half Price Books a couple weeks ago that I actually got a copy - which actually turned out to be a signed copy at that! I started An Enchantment of Ravens yesterday and was immediately hooked, I didn't want to put it down! I may - dare I say it - like this book better than ACOTAR! 😲
