Raven of the Inner Palace (Light Novel) Vol. 3

I've barely finished book three and I'm worried about book 7. At the pace I'm reading I'll be anxiously awaiting the publication of 7, because I need answers and I'm confident each subsequent novel reveals just enough to keep the reader captivated.Like, why did Ui call Jusetsu Princess Hi? Who is Jusetsu? I don't think she's merely the last survivor of the Ran dynasty. The biggest plot twists involve Eisei. So much tragedy in the story, yet it's told in such a manner that you don't even realize it. The author is phenomenal at her craft.

Once again I love how this story is progressing! The covers look prettier every time as well. I came to this series have reading all I could find for the apothecary diaries LN and this just has the same vibe almost. Like this series seems a bit more series but has that magical fantasy feel and it just works so well.

With the defeat of the Owl, the threat on Jusetsu's life appears to be gone, but with the death of several high ranking officials and consorts new people arrive at the palace. People that come with their own share of problems, both supernatural and more mundane. The two are more closely connected than appears to be the case at first, and there might be a link with events of the past both ancient and more recent.Like previous volumes the story is a mix of supernatural mystery, and romance. It has a more coherent plot though, one that is more about the nature of "gods", and mortal politics than ghosts. It are the characters and their development that keeps me hooked to the story. Its plot is fairly intriguing, but it does at times seems to be more about coincidences than active actions by the MCs. Some of those coincidences when it comes to (unknown) relations between characters are stretching things a bit (one is fine, but I came across at least four). For now I will leave those to the nature of the gods and fate in this story, but is one of those things that can cause me trouble with suspension of disbelieve.Still, a good read and I am looking forward to volume 4.

I love this author… In this series. The author is very talented at creating characters that are unique, and yet intriguing. I particularly love the raven consort, and the idea of the balancing kingdoms that are unknown to the general populace, but so essential to the kingdom. also the little bit of romance and tension is really kind of sweet. I really can’t wait to finish the fourth novel.

I love this story! It’s unique, intriguing, and there’s no stupid or aloof characters! And everyone gets a chance to have their story told!The OMG moment drop at the end wasn’t something I could predict!! Can’t wait for the next one!

Finalmente uscito il seguito del libro. La storia di fa sempre più interessante e avvincente. Consigliatissimo.
