A Gathering of Ravens was one of the 2017 releases that I was really looking forward to. I was super excited when I was approved for a copy.

I can only be honest when reviewing, otherwise what's the point? So, here goes. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it either. I just didn't connect with it at all. I really wanted too. Everything about the blurb screamed "perfect for Tracey!!". And yet, I was underwhelmed.

Why? Is it me? The vast majority of my fellow reviewers loved it. I struggled to form any kind of connection with the characters, and the plot I found a tad lacklustre. I'm loathe to say it, but it's true. I seem to be in the minority, though. And in this case I'm happy that most of my esteemed 'colleagues' disagree with me! This is one of the reasons I always say to people "Don't take my word for it, go read it yourself!"

I did enjoy Grimnir's insults, though.
