Once the story did get going though I really enjoyed some of the other characters mainly Teir, Jes, and the Emperor. A lot of time was spent dealing with the past when Seraph met her husband, and I really thought this probably wasn’t needed and made the story take a lot longer than necessary to get going. It doesn’t help that I recently read “Warbreaker” by Brandon Sanderson which was an amazing book.
I tried to be patient and remember that sometimes good fantasies take a while to set up. The first part of this book was really slow for me. Seraph and her family are drawn into the very conflict that Seraph tried to avoid when she was younger. She thinks her and her husband have settled down for a life of farming when they find out a greater evil is targeting both the Travelers and the land as a whole. This series is written in a more traditional fantasy style, with less humor, and a slower pace. I have also read Briggs Mercy Thompson series (which I thought was okay, but lacking in character development) this series is much different from the Mercy Thompson series.
I liked the world and the magic system but thought that the pacing throughout the book was a bit erratic. This is the first book in the Raven Duology by Patricia Briggs.
