Raven Kennedy: Goldfinch (Paperback, 2024, Penguin Micheal Joseph) 5 stars

'Find me in another life. Find me in them all'

One king caged my body. …

A fun end to the story

5 stars

Godlfinch starts right where gold finished Annwyn and Orea is at war with each other and the story takes us through how the war and the battles in it unfolds. Whlie Raven does a decent job at describing the action in the battles is it not the strongest point in the story that's goes to describing the interpersonal feelings for participants and their loved ones both during and after the battles.

Even though this is the final book in the series are there still space for some more character growth, and while I'd love for certain things to end differently are there nothing unsatisfactory with the ending of the story. And there is some final pieces of world-building happening here as well.

The series as a whole is worth a read if you're into romantic fantasy, and I think most fantasy readers will like it as well. This book is in some ways a departure from the earlier book however I feel that's mostly form Raven having to split the final book in two more than anything else.
