The storyline of Raven 3 is more action filled and adventurous.
After undergoing a lot of practice and training, Susan, with the help of a goddess/ambassador wins over Boss Bellini. She comes back to her senses and returns to her normal way of living. Meanwhile, Richard and Coca are stranded in a ghost town. After rescuing a group of children, Richard makes his way to Anaya's shack and unites with Susan.
Cairo sails alone after her elderly friend is killed by pirates. With the help of Susan and Richard (yes,surprise!), Raven locates Cairo in a rich Arab's palace.
With all the complex problems solved and the characters united with their loved ones, we might assume that the story is over. But, no.
We delve into the mysterious and rough past of Raven. Her unhappy and hard childhood transforms her into a dangerous and cold hearted woman. She kills numerous people, robs them and travels to various places around the world.
We also come to know more about the connection between Raven and Boudicca-the dead queen whose remains Eric found in book 1.
Being an Indian, I particularly liked the parts of the story set in India, in her past, Raven visits south India and in the present, Raven lives in North India. In the North, she meets Raj and Jival-people whom she can trust and love.
Pearsall has described the places and people in India accurately.
I liked the helping nature of Richard and Susan-They were willing to help Raven find Cairo even after she gave them so many problems and trouble.
Anaya the healer is an underrated character. The way she helped, provided and taught Susan is something to be appreciated.
Overall,I enjoyed every page of the book and the Raven series will always be one of my favorites.
I sincerely hope Pearsall continues the series. He has got all the right elements and tools and this series has a bright future ahead if continued.

Delving back into Ravens past, we see how everything that's happened has built her into the cold-hearted murderer she is.
Richard and Susan reunite after both, separately went through alot hardships, with a slight twist plot twist
Reading the Raven series has been intriguing and the author does an impeccable job at describing and detailing the scenes.
After much judgment of the character the reader learns she's also open to the elements, making her as human as anyone else.
Thank you to the author as I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review

So good! Just a bit off the ordinary storyline and you just want more. A bit of everything in each book. Keep them coming. I loved the prequel because it really brought Raven into focus about who she is..a real twist, not everyone will like but so is the series.

Raven is the cause of historical disasters..
Raven as a mother finally shows some emotion..
Raven as child horn in misery and abuse reveals her secret at the end...
This is the end of a story and the beginning of another story!
