The Legend of the Golden Raven
The Legend of the Golden Raven: A Novella of The Wicker King | K. Ancrum
2 posts | 4 read
The Legend of the Golden Raven novella, part fairy tale and part gritty reality, follows a boy as he descends into madness. August and Jack weren’t meant to be friends. One is a misfit with a pyro streak and the other a golden boy on the rugby team. But as their relationship intensifies, Jack slowly begins to lose his mind—taking readers on an intimate journey into the fantasy kingdom creeping into the edges of his world. As the novella moves back and forth between a medieval legend and our own, contemporary world, nothing is as it seems. The boys alienate everyone around them as they struggle with their sanity and as Jack’s quest to fulfill a dark prophecy begins to consume them both . . . Devour this companion novella to The Wicker King. An ImprintBook Praise for The Wicker King: “An eerie and mesmerizing thriller that questions the spacewhere reality and perception overlap, The Wicker King is a spine-tingling read that will have you riveted.” —Caleb Roehrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit “An eerie piece of realistic fiction whose characters revelin intense emotions.” —KirkusReviews

Mehso-so

This novella, or short story, follows Jack's hallucinatory world. It's hard to compare this to The Wicker King as it is 305 pages long while The Legend if the Golden Raven is barely 27. I couldn't get invested in Jack's story like I did with August's. The fantasy elements were described in detail, though. There were also some typos that should have been an easy fix.

AmandaBlaze @TheSpineView I'm not sure if this counts as a #SeriesRead2022 as it is so short. 2y
TheSpineView @AmandaBlaze Sure does! Great job! 2y

A nice little novella with the lore of the Wicker King and his Champion's quest for the Rapturous Blue.
