The Ravens

I am not the target market for this book. I read it as I received it as part of my Illumicrate subscription, which has introduced me to some books I enjoyed that I might not have read otherwise. This book unfortunately is not one of those.

The key setting of a sorority of witches immediately puts me in a less than thrilled place. Fraternities/Sororities are such an American thing that other than through film I have no real reference for them in my own experience. What I have seen of them from film and TV make them seem uniquely elitist and populated by particularly obnoxious people. This book does nothing to change that opinion. I honestly found myself disliking every character in this book. The teenage angsty love triangle stuff also is a huge turnoff for me.

The prose was passable enough, the plot line derivative but workable, but ultimately the setting just made this a book that I struggled to enjoy.
