I thought this was absolutely brilliant - 5*

I only read I Am Wolf a couple of weeks ago but really enjoyed it and was looking forward to continuing the series. I was therefore delighted when I saw that NetGalley and Nosy Crow were offering eARCs of the next book.

Personally, I enjoyed this book more than the first as there was more worldbuilding and it answered some of the questions and dealt with theories I had after reading I Am Wolf. There are still a fair few battles but there was more of a focus on internal than external struggle in this book. However, if it was the action which appealed to you in I Am Wolf, there is still plenty of that in I Am Raven.

I loved getting to know more about Brann and Rieka, as well as the newly introduced characters, Constructs and their territories. The reveal about the origins of the Constructs was wonderfully done, especially the deft touches like the differences between Kevin the Ant and his ancestors.

The reveal of the antagonist was really interesting. I had predicted some of what was revealed but it also went in a slightly different direction to what I was expecting. Although. looking back now. I can see the clues were there.

The pacing was good and, as with I Am Wolf, I raced through the book. It did become apparent that not everything would be dealt with in this book as there weren't enough pages left. However I was relieved to see that the third book, We Are Dragon, is already titled. Now just to wait patiently for it's release . . .
