A Raven in the Storm (Gods of Tellus Book 1)

Thank you to NetGalley and Rainflower Publishing for this ARC!Well … this book had trigger warnings but I feel like they were nowhere near comprehensive enough. This book is INCREDIBLY DARK and at times frankly quite EVIL and therefore I cannot give this book a higher rating.⚠️ Content Warnings From The Book⚠️ ╰➤ Whipping╰➤ Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts╰➤ Threats of sexual violence╰➤ Sexual assault╰➤ Self-harm with a knife╰➤ Dismemberment╰➤ Beheadings╰➤ Fat-Shaming╰➤ Multiple instances

What a wonderful debut fantasy novel! While I occasionally found myself a little bored at times (I think the pace in the beginning was quite slow), I thought this was well-written and given a lot of thought. I enjoyed the premise. The romance didn’t always pull me, but I enjoyed the characters, and I would read a book written by this author again. 3.5, rounding up to 4 for Goodreads. ❤️

I won this Title in a Goodreads Giveaway for my honest opinion. At first I didn't think this would be a favorite read but after getting into it I was amazed at the writer's ability to pull a reader in and hold their attention. It is very well written and turns into a real page turner quickly. Though it starts out slow it speeds up like a locomotive and makes up for it. The characters and their individual story lines are captivating. Lots of defiance to the king, who is destroying the Earth mothe
