The Battle Against The Super-Evil Raven
A Review Of
Nicholas Kotar The Curse Of The Raven: Book 2 of Raven Son(Waystone , 2017)
$10.99 77 pp ISBN: 978-0-9988479-2-4
Reviewer: Forrest Schultz
The Raven in Nicholas Kotar's fantasy series is FAR MORE evil than the "Nevermore" Raven in that famous poem by Edgar Allen Poe!! And the struggle against this Raven in this novella under review is extremely strenuous and involves fantastic elements, especially near its conclusion, in a quest for "living water". The stakes are radically important, as this statement on page 26 makes clear: "This isn't the battle for Vasyllia. It's a battle for the soul of Vasyllia." And the heroic deed is very strange -- it is not a quest FOR a magical object; it is a blacksmith who has to MAKE the magical object! AND, finally victory is achieved by means of a very strange ending. I highly recommend reading this book as I have Kotar's first one.
