After the Wood Witch disappears with Darius, Raven joins forces with the King’s Guard in order to hunt her down. Their group now comprises 5 – Captain Jack Grant, two guardsmen, the reaper Monroe and Raven.

It is becoming more evident that Raven feels responsible for her father’s death and will hold herself responsible for Darius’ life. Though this mission started out as a redemption for one of the lives she had previously taken, she feels she will have to redeem his life if he dies.

Grant is also very much enamoured of Raven’s skills as a reaper, and I think as a woman as well. I believe there is potential here for some romance. But they are enemies, so… that might be awkward.

The pacing and intensity of this episode is excellent. It will keep you wanting to read until you get to the end and leave you wanting more. It’s a good thing you’ll only have to wait a couple of weeks for the next episode.

Do yourself a favour and grab a copy of this episode of Raven. You’ll be glad you did, especially if you enjoy steampunk. I rated this episode 5 stars out of 5.

Thank you to the author for providing a copy in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.

Episode 3 is filled with suspense and danger. Raven is now traveling with the members of the Guard that she was running from and another Reaper. They are desperately trying to save Darius from the Wood's Witch that was supposed to help him with his curse. We see more of Raven in action as the group tracks down the Witch, she pulls out more awesome tricks and shows her strength. Raven's more vulnerable side also begins to show in this episode and we see more of a relationship grow with the Captain of the Guard. Another mystery is introduced with the appearance of life-like automatons in the southern part of the country and danger as everyone discovers just how the Wood's Witch plans to eradicate the curse from Darius. I can't wait to see how it ends! ( )
