Shadows So Cruel

Court of Ravens, Book 2

By: Liv Zander

Narrated by: Shaina Summerville, Tor Thom, Tommy Fuller

Adrift in a sky shadowed by war,

We seek, we ache,

Searching for the woman who fled us.

We shattered her heart, but she unfurled her feathers,

Our sweetheart, our little dove,

Escaping our talons on pure white wings.

One of us soars over battlements,

Haunted by past mistakes,

Vowing never to repeat them.

The other storms through walls of stone and hatred,

Eager to destroy the shackles of his past,

Determined to shackle her to him instead. Forever.

Loyalties are torn.

Friendships are tested.

Among the chaos, one claim stands irrefutably:

We will get her back.

She will be ours.

Come home to us, white Raven.

Shadows so Cruel is a full-length dark fantasy romance novel, and book two in the Court of Ravens duet. The two-part story features two morally gray raven shifters, a young woman at the mercy of their shadows, and a HEA. This world contains dark elements, violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Listeners can find more detailed information at LivZander.com. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better. And two do it better than one…

It’s dark y’all

Please read the trigger warnings but also this series is amazing! Very few books make me cry and I definitely got that!

I personally hated most of the characters but not the way they were written, since they were fleshed out so well.

Good

These books were okay. The first was definitely better than the second. The second one felt like it went on forever. The last 6 hours all I could think was how is this going to keep going? Things kept happening but they seemed pointless. I would have liked it better if it was a little shorter.

Tragically beautiful story

This was an incredible story and I really got invested in the characters. I was shocked by how good this was! The narration style was distracting for me, even though the actors were talented! It was tough to hear each narrator read the each other’s voices instead of reading their own. I pushed through and got used to this more in Book 2, a testament to how great the story was! Also, I didn’t feel that Sabian’s voice matched his character description since there was a slight southern accent, even though the actor did a great job with his sarcastic personality.

Favorite MFM romance!!

Got through the 2nd part of Court of Ravens so quick! I couldn't stop listening to the audiobook 🤭 It was just plot twist after plot twist & not to mention, all the heartbreaking backstories 😭 Honestly, my favorite MFM couple so far!! And despite that unexpected unaliving towards the end, I absolutely loved how the story finished off with healed characters. They all needed that after their ordeal 😬

Need more

I have a hate/love feeling about the ending but very satisfying overall. I got. nice feels, a good cry and pleasing amount of scenes. I would love to see their life after kids or even their adventures.
