About this listen
After crashing her dogsled into the frozen river, Ts'ellbah fears something is wrong, something deeper than the inexplicable new scar over her heart. She feels like a stranger in her own skin and struggles to remember her closest friends and family. At first, her clan is relieved that she survived the accident. But on a night when red spirit lights stain the sky like blood, Ts'ellbah suffers her first violent seizure and sees a vision in which a revered elder encounters a mythical monster and dies.
When her announcement of the elder's death proves correct, many people are convinced something evil possessed her in the dark river. They believe she killed the old man and want to cast her out. Before they do, Ts'ellbah must persuade her people that their ancient enemies have indeed returned, that they are looking for something, and they'll destroy the entire clan to find it.

It it a rich book, well detailed and unusually, I increased the speed to 110% as it needed a push for my ears at least, with the narrator being the weakest point of the production.
Ts'ellbah is an interesting character, well detailed and having recently watched Prey there are numerous similarities between the woman not listened to and unfortunate events. Personally I found it over-detailed and while it may suit and appeal to a younger audience I felt it affected pacing before the key plot twists came along.
The plot twists are well structured with the personalities involved hinting at events to come. In that regard they work well and heightening the pacing as what is in shadows emerges and a suitor, and further twists and tortures to the character without giving much away as events and tensions arise.
The ending is neat and clever and naturally where the beginning plot lines and title wrap up. I expected a bit more from 'Raven' it suited the nature of the book, as did the final twist, which did well to wrap up.
It was an interesting story, with a solid character and unique, vibrant culture that worked well in the setting, and all the better for it with solid research.
Far too long to complete (my fault)
