Review: The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson The Raven Scholar is one of those insanely ambitious, charmingly chaotic, and uniquely unconventional stories that has absolutely zero business working as well as it does, and yet it absolutely soars....

NEW FAVE ALERT: The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson 💜

"part intricate epic political fantasy, part riveting murder mystery, part cutthroat competition for the crown, and just 100% playful, inventive, magnificent, and unpredictable fun."
