A furious Rook decides she must come to the Autumnlands to stand trial, but they’re quickly waylaid by trouble. She sees something in him - mortal sorrow - and paints it on the canvas, embarrassing him and threatening his throne. But everything changes when she meets her first royal fair folk patron, the Autumn Prince, Rook. For that reason, the fair folk crave Craft objects with a near desperation - and Isobel is the best at what she does, so they come to her for their paintings. The story revolves around Isobel, a prodigy portrait artist whose clients are fair folk - immortal creatures who cannot perform any Craft of their own, such as baking, painting, weaving, or writing, without crumbling to dust. But a fantasy book that introduces a new world, with different rules, unlike anything I’ve ever heard of before? Count me in! That’s why I was so interested when I heard the premise of An Enchantment of Ravens, Margaret Rogerson’s debut novel. I’m a sucker for a good fantasy book any day of the week.
