The Highland
Raven: A Gripping Scottish Family Saga from World War 2 (A Resistance Girl
Novel Book 5) by Hannah Byron
When I first
saw the cover I love the raven on the front cover, treasure!
the hat she's
wearing shows a beak if you look hard enough and mountain in the background are
raven's wing span.
Book starts out
when Sable was at home with her mother who was going to have a dinner party and
she just wanted her father who was raveling for business.
She camps out
in the library and her friend Freddie shows up the next morning with a
breakfast tray and he has some ideas to share with her.
Story also goes
back in time to when she was with her father in the city, shows up back home
later with a man and her father then sends her off to school as she's like her
mother, giving her body away to anybody.
In a previous
book we do meet Sable so we know a bit about her and her life. Love the time she spends at the school with
other girls. The bonds and friends she make with common interests.
entertaining
how the author weaves a story between her life and that of the war. Fun to
learn historic events that also take place while she deals with her own tragic
upheavals til she gets a call from Freddie and she heads into the action with
help from others.
Love that she
is so hands on. She learns of other ways to help and jumps right in and also
meets the captain, which we know there is a connection but not exactly what
yet...
Love how she
handles her properties and lends them to aid the war for her country.
Author writes
as if you are there with Sable, enlightening, scary and magic at times.
She has a duty
to her country and leaves to help. Love
the travel and events that led up to her training. So much sorrow and pain from her past comes
to light, finally as we learn the details of her heartache.
Sad times as
she's single again and concentrates on war efforts.
Full circle and
then some magic happens on many counts as the story ends. Love the author's
notes and recap of how everyone went on with their lives, when they died, etc.
So many
surprises in this book!
Sneak peek at
next book in the series is included at the end along with a note from the
author.
