I Am Raven picks up where I Am Wolf left off (you can read my review here). Following the destruction of Raven, Brann is determined to discover what happened, so leads Cub north. However, what they find there is not what they expected and leads to more questions than answers.
I Am Raven is written from Brann's point of view and allows us to get to know her in more detail. She is a strong character and the book begins to show us why; we begin to see her struggle with emotions she is holding tightly within her (I promise there will be no spoilers) and the cracks that start to show because of this.
The book is a gripping read, especially the ending which I simply couldn't put down. You are definitely left with more questions, and I guarantee you will be desperate for the next book in the series (seriously, Alastair, how could you leave us hanging like that?!).
I love everything about this book, and the series, from the enticing cover that begs you to pick the book up, to the fact that the book is 218 pages long (something that definitely appeals to those who are more reluctant readers).
I took my copy of I Am Raven into school just before the end of term but had only read the first line when a child in my class begged to read it! As she was returning I Am Wolf, I removed my bookmark and let her read it. The following morning she returned the book having devoured it, and declared it 'brilliant' and 'better than book 1!' - enough said!
Now, exactly how long do I have to wait for I Am Dragon?!
