In this episode, we find Raven on the run with the Baron’s
young brother Darius from Captain Jack Grant heading for the Wood Witch in
hopes that the witch can cure Darius of his affliction.
We are beginning to see the development of the characters of
Darius and Captain Jack Grant. Jack is not as brutal as the rest of the Baron’s
men. There is a sense of mercy about him as well as a glint of admiration for
Raven who could have killed them all but chose not to do so. As for Darius,
though he is just 10, he is made of strong stuff and able to handle more than
you would think a 10-year-old child could handle. He tells Raven to stop
treating him like a child, to stop asking him if he understands, because of
course, he does. But how can you not
want to wrap your arms around this child when he is crying and comfort him as
Raven want to do?
If you like action, there’s plenty of that in this episode.
It’s pretty much nonstop action. This episode is easy to read in one sitting
because you won’t want to put it down anyway. I can’t wait for the third
episode to come out because I need to know what happens next.
Pauline Creeden has made me a fan of steampunk. I rate Raven: Episode 2 5 stars out of 5. If you haven’t started yet,
I recommend starting with Episode 1 since you won’t want to miss anything!
Thank you to the author who provided a copy of this episode in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
