It has a good premises and an eye catching cover. I really, really wanted to enjoy this book. He was an intelligent being and extremely protective. The only character I actually liked in the book was Hawthorne.

I read the book expecting more out of him. Jack was a one dimensional character who never was fully developed. Her whole thought process was slow making the story draw out when the reader was already able to get to the point over fifty pages before she did. I did not really find any redeeming qualities about her character. Not only does she come off stupid but the book reads like she is overly obsessed with physical beauty. By her own design Ava’s bad luck runs amuck. I was terribly wrong I do not always enjoy fire mages, especially ones named Avalon Redding. Even though she had been gone for over 5 years now, I still think about her alot, and i hope people will fall in love with Ræven's character.Note: I received this book from the author for an honest review. So, when I started writing Frost Arch in 2008, I felt I needed to put Ashleigh in it somehow. Unfortunately, in 2006, Ashleigh was hit by a drunk driver and died 23 hours later in hospital due to multiple injuries. She was slightly duck-footed (like Ræven) as though she would be better suited to flying. She hardly ever spoke a word, but would melt your heart with something simple like resting her head on your shoulder, or holding your hand. Beautiful, quiet, shy, with amazing blue eyes, and dark hair. The 'Real' Ræven: Who is Ræven based on? In school I was friends with a girl called Ashleigh Harriss.

Obviously you have noticed the name is similar to Raven, a type of bird.

T he Name: Why did I choose the name Ræven? For starters, the name is pronounced R-ee-van. Beautiful, and thoughtful, she is actually based on a real person. She is quiet, with a penetrating gaze, and icy blue eyes. I find Ræven a very interesting character. Ræven Blacklock This young girl has a rather sad back story.

If you have read Frost Arch, you might find this interesting.
