Slow start ramped up fast! The pair are sent to the discomforts of Arizona and a chief whose management style is diametrically opposed to Kage's. Then the worst happens. Full of shootouts and chases, things become astonishing and a real social lesson for the unevolved.
The narration by Tristan James is amazingly perfect.
Loved it and plan to binge-read the rest in series!

Terribile. Davvero, davvero terribile. Che avevo in testa quando l’ho comprato? Boh, era il lontano 2013, chi se lo ricorda più… Questa lettura, infatti, fa parte del mio recente impegno a svecchiare la mia lista: mi è venuto a noia aprirla su Goodreads e vedere sempre gli stessi libri!

Chi dice che per leggere servono motivazioni profonde?

Tornando a Il Guardiano, è difficile anche solo iniziare a parlarne tanto è raccapricciante. Prendiamo l’aspetto fantasy: è piazzato lì solo per giustificare l’esistenza di un guerriero bruto che si lamenta ogni tre per due che nessunə ha mai amato perché è troppo disumano. Mah, io penso sia piuttosto per il fatto che sei un violentatore del cazzo, Eoin: porca vacca, Mary Calmes, come ti è venuto in mente che fosse okay che uno dei protagonisti violentasse delle donne perché, ehi, ha delle esigenze che vanno soddisfatte! Ma io da lettrice dovrei sentirmi meglio perché gli fai dire che le violentava a malincuore? Ma scherziamo!?

E il suo rapporto con Jude non è migliore, visto che lo rapisce, lo maltratta e di fatto lo violenta, anche se l’autrice ha cercato di farlo passare per un impeto di passione travolgente, una roba che mi ha fatto chiudere il libro e andare a fare un giro per smaltire il disagio. Io voglio smettere di trovare frasi come Non puoi dirmi di no fatte passare come romanticismo e amore. Basta, basta, basta!

Per il resto, è uno dei romanzi più piatti e noiosi che abbia mai letto: non succede praticamente niente, qualunque tensione narrativa viene liquidata in due righe e i personaggi sono talmente monodimensionali da essere quasi intercambiabili.

Che tristezza. Vado ad affogare la mia disperazione per aver comprato un altro libro di quest’autrice nel tè...

'Woods Of The Raven' is the Fantasy equivalent of a cosy mystery with a gay, Happily Ever After paranormal romance thrown in. Xander, the main character is gentle and kind but has the steel to defend himself and the people around him when he needs to. The threat is dark but the tone is hopeful. The rainbow flag is flying high and proud but in a joyful, human way that just says, 'This is how it can be when it's good'.

I liked Xander. He's a man with superhuman power, provided he's on his own land but he isn't Superman, hiding his real self by pretending to be mild-mannered Clark Kent, rather he is Clark Kent, kind, gentle, conflict-averse and he doesn't lose those qualities and become an aggressive alpha male warrior when he has to use his power to defend the land and the people he's bonded with. He just does what needs to be done.

The magic system is well thought out, drawing heavily on European myths that most Fantasy fans will be familiar with, although Xander's persoanl powers manifest in original ways.

.The premise that drives the plot is straightforward and familiar, a witch having to honour his compact as guardian of the land when a Fey Lord tries to cross into it, but it felt fresh because it meshed so well into a contemporary setting and because Xander wasn't the kind of witch you find in most fantasy stories. The action scenes, using a mixture of conventional weapons, magic and supernatural predators, were vivid and convincing without being overly gory.

I'm not usually a fan of romance plots but this one worked for me, mostly because the dynamic between Xander, the quiet, gentle witch and Lorne the burly, charismatic, extroverted Sheriff was well-crafted.

To be up front I have a strong bias towards Mary Calmes. I did enjoy this one. It does lack the tension that exists in many of the Marshal books and it is a bit like an after thought that these two need to be together. However it is a nice little snack and a bit. 3.5/5 rounded up.
