In Elaine Corvidae's, The Crow Queen, Yozerf franticly seeks to protect and provide for his pack and mate in Segg's decaying ghettos while Lord Igen closes in on them.
Self-hatred and shame eat at Yozerf while Telmonra offers him the power to avenge his friends, but at what cost? Suchen painfully watches Yozerf destroy himself, unable to stop him. Surrounded by enemies, fighting for their lives, Suchen and Yozerf's love is tested beyond endurance and destruction awaits them.
The Crow Queen rescues them from Lord Igen and certain death, but can they trust her? Elaine Corvidae eloquently depicts the "fear of other" that keeps people disconnected and consumes all that is good and beautiful. Lord Auglar must reach deep within and trust Yozerf and The Crow Queen or he and his Sworn will not leave Segg alive.
Yozerf's sorrow and guilt builds a wall between Suchen and himself until he almost annihilates himself. Elaine Corvidae powerfully reveals how self-hatred destroys trust and the person caught in its grip. Will Suchen realize that Yozerf's lack of faith comes from within and not because he doesn't love her or will they be shattered?
The Crow Queen is a fast-paced, spine tingling story of betrayal, love, vengeance, and passion. My heart ached for Yozerf and Suchen. Elaine Corvidae grips the reader with a dark tale of greed, selfishness, and pain, yet there is hope that in the end love and justice will prevail.
I could not put the book down, yet I did not want the story to end. I hope that Elaine Corvidae does not make us wait over a year for Dragon's Son or I may have to lead a revolt.
