An interesting read based on a true story. I‘m amazed with the strong willed Bethan, who sounded docile initially. Her goal to save her husband has made her stronger and gathered more friends to help her in her quest. It was slow at some point especially with the way it was written but luckily picked up towards the end. My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks to Library Thing for this in return for my honest review.

'Can you imagine what it would be like to be able to take off and swoop and glide wherever you wanted, spiraling in the sky without a care in the world, watching the earth below shrink into insignificance, entirely in control of your own destiny? It is one of the great sadnesses of my life that I will never know what it's like to fly.'

If you are curious about what it would be like to be the Ravenmaster at the Tower of London, Christopher Skaife tells you all about it from first-hand experience. Lots of photos, too! #LetterR #alphabetgame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Another fun entry in the Daisy Dalrymple series!

Daisy is on the case at the Tower of London, when a somewhat closed area Murder means only a select number of people are suspects. I enjoy this series to see the progression of the characters‘ lives…this one is book 16, I believe, so you can imagine all of the backstory of the main characters by this point. Perfect distraction listen!

SRWCF Great artwork! 2y
Librarybelle @SRWCF I do like the cover art of the audiobook edition! 2y

Super fun book by and about the Ravenmaster at the Tower of London. I learned about this one from Effin Birds on IG and got the audiobook when I found out it was read by the author. I periodically think it would be cool to keep a hawk or a raven and was rearranging furniture and thinking just this when I heard Chris Skaife say how if you keep a corvid, there will be chaos every time you move anything in your house. So, maybe a hawk instead.

ImperfectCJ Photo of the spooky fog we had as I left work last night. Even though I know my way home quite well, I had to put on the navigation on the highway because it was too foggy to see when the exits were coming up. Not directly raven-related. 2y
swynn Good to hear a good review about this one-- it's at the top of my “overdue so make up your mind“ stack so I'll get to it really soon. 2y
ImperfectCJ @swynn I hope you enjoy it! This is one that wasn't on my radar at all, but I'm glad I found it. Sometimes I found the organization of the book a little clunky, but it's possible that's an audiobook thing and it would make sense if I saw it. 2y
