I like how Isobel is at least eighteen years old…

Esta es la primera novela de la autora y tengo que decir que me ha gustado mucho.
Esta es una nueva revisión al folklore sobre las hadas y los faes que me ha rodeado como un hechizo. Me ha encantado el mundo que presenta, con toda su magia, sus criaturas y sus Cortes asociadas a las estaciones. 
En especial me ha gustado muchísimo el valor que se le da a la capacidad de crear, desconozco si en el folklore sobre las hadas éstas no pueden crear cosas nuevas sin morir, que es la premisa de esta historia. Destaco esto porque la protagonista es pintora y me ha encantado como la autora describe este trabajo, cómo desde la perspectiva de la protagonista existe un gran detalle a cómo es el proceso de iniciar, desarrollar y terminar una pintura, así como cómo se siente ella al pintar. 
De hecho, todo lo que la protagonista ve siempre tiene una especie de filtro o comentario que hace referencia a los colores o las texturas y cómo sus manos buscan cualquier excusa para trasladar lo que ve al lienzo. 
Me ha parecido una perspectiva muy interesante, así como una forma muy única y certera de dotar a la protagonista de talentos que transcienden las habilidades y son parte de ella. Además, creo que el hecho de que la protagonista sintiera todo esto a la hora de pintar hace que el resto de personajes mágicos se sientan atraídos por ella o quieran poseerla, de forma que la colocan a ella en una posición de poder y vulnerabilidad muy peculiar. 
La relación con el interés amoroso me ha parecido muy interesante, ya que él al ser un fae se rige por reglas que no son humanas. Y, a pesar de conocer a estas criaturas, la protagonista no se sabe todas las normas. Esto produce situaciones complejas entre ambos. Además, esta dinámica se basa mucho en comentarios ingeniosos e inteligentes, y me ha encantado.
Me ha gustado mucho todas las referencias al folklore de las hadas y cómo funciona dentro de la sociedad humana...pero cómo se vuelve peligrosa si es una humana la que pone un pie en territorio Fae. 
Sin embargo, sí que diría que esta novela, aunque me ha gustado, tiene algunos problemas de ritmo, ya que presentaba fragmentos muy lentos en los que no pasaba gran cosa y los protagonistas iban de un sitio a otra, para que después pasaran muchas cosas muy atropelladas. A esto también hay que sumarle el hecho de que a mi entender el romance es muy atropellado para mi gusto. 

A pesar de todo esto me ha gustado mucho la historia y la recomendaría. Estoy deseando leer más de la autora.

This is the author's first novel and I have to say I really enjoyed it.
This is a new revision to the folklore about fairies and fae that has surrounded me like a spell. I loved the world it presents, with all its magic, its creatures and its Courts associated with the seasons.
I especially loved the value placed on the ability to create, I don't know if in fairy folklore fairies can't create new things without dying, which is the premise of this story. I highlight this because the protagonist is a painter and I loved how the author describes this work, how from the protagonist's perspective there is great detail to what the process of starting, developing and finishing a painting is like, as well as how she feels when she paints.
In fact, everything the protagonist sees always has a kind of filter or commentary that refers to the colours or textures and how her hands look for any excuse to transfer what she sees to the canvas.
I found it a very interesting perspective, as well as a very unique and accurate way of endowing the protagonist with talents that transcend skills and are part of her. Also, I think the fact that the protagonist felt all this when painting makes the other magical characters feel attracted to her or want to possess her, in a way that puts her in a very peculiar position of power and vulnerability.
I found the relationship with the love interest very interesting, since he, being a fae, is governed by rules that are not human. And, despite knowing these creatures, the protagonist doesn't know all the rules. This leads to complex situations between the two.Also, this dynamic relies a lot on witty and intelligent comments, and I loved it.
I really liked all the references to fairy folklore and how it works within human society...but how it becomes dangerous if it's a human who sets foot in Fae territory.
However, I would say that this novel, although I liked it, had some pacing problems, as it had very slow parts where nothing much was happening and the main characters were going from one place to another, and then a lot of things happened in a very rushed manner. In addition to this, I found the romance too rushed for my taste.

Despite all this I really enjoyed the story and would recommend it.I look forward to reading more from the author

this was a wonderful, fast-paced fae fantasy romance. 

i was sucked into the story pretty quickly and found it more adventurous than i expected. the fae world and magics of this was fascinating, with fae being unable to do "Crafts" (arts of creations humans do: cooking, writing, sewing, painting, etc.), the different fae courts, etc. and of course this is more loyal to old fae tales where they're awful creatures ready to toy with human lives for fun.

i enjoyed the fmc, isobel, and her fae prince, rook. although i did want more scenes involving them that would've strengthened the romance aspect, i loved that isobel was always ready to give rook a piece of her mind (and he seemed to quite enjoy that).

there were a few details i would've liked explained more (the season realms and the hunt confused me and i still am not sure what their deal is) and i would've liked a longer epilogue, but i overall quite enjoyed this read.

I liked it! The premise is amazing, I love the idea of human Craft & a fairy race who is unable to create without dying. Very interesting idea, and I thought it was handled really well & got me thinking about the importance of creating. It did get a smidgen slow in the middle, as I was not expecting them to be running around in a forest for quite so long. However, the characters are great, very intriguing, and the whole ending part was just amazing, although I would've like another couple of chapters or an epilogue to see what happens after the big event at the end.

An Enchantment of Ravens and was everything I wanted in a faye romance novel. I was rooting for the couple the whole time and the faye rules were super interesting - a little spooky, a little funny, magical and elegant. They had the usual rules of magic of faye that one is familiar with, re: lying, social constructs, etc.
The magic system is really interesting, too, that Craft is something only humans can do and therefore faye covet. It's a cool base concept, and one that is woven throughout and not just forgotten after the beginning.

This was a light and quick read. I enjoyed the world building and the general plot, but it's difficult to not compare this book to others like it. Encyclopaedia of Fairies comes to mind first, but that's so superior that I hesitate to compare, even with all the similarities. 

This book was too rushed, and I say that as someone who enjoys quick, concise stories. It really would've benefited from just 25-50 pages more developing their relationship. Them falling in love was extremely sudden and immediately went from infatuation to I-will-literally-die-for-you. I'm also very confused why the author decided to make it a relationship with a minor. It takes no effort to make the female lead 18 rather than 17. 

Beyond those two main complaints, I still had fun with this book. It's one you can finish in a single day and it held my attention while being slightly cozy. It's no masterpiece, but I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something light-hearted and a bit adventurous in a fae world.
