WHISTLER INDEPENDENT BOOK AWARDS Fiction Evaluation
Easy to follow and immerse oneself into this well-told story.

The pace unfolds so naturally, I forgot that I was reading—which is essential to achieving this result.

Loved the narrative voice that brought Characters to life through vivid descriptions and unforced dialogue. Time and place are masterfully captured through poetic and beautiful imagery.

The writing style is wonderful, a celebration of words, both visual and imaginative.

This story has depth, the themes are heartfelt and lingered long after I finished reading it.

The pulse of energy—otherworldly, Raven's Lament is a classic in waiting with dream-like narration. I loved every inch of it. [Thanks Frank & good luck!]
