Paxson Ö The White Raven ePUB º The White PDF or Ö white mobile, raven download, The White pdf, The White Raven EpubDreadful The uniue talent of an author to take one of the most romantic heartbreaking legends of all time and make it completely boring is something I’ve thankfully rarely experienced and hope never to do again This book just plods along I kept thinking I’ll read just one chapter maybe it will get better And by the time I realized it was never going to get better I was halfway through and decided I might as well push myself and finish it The last thirty pages make it a two star read instead of one star but can't rescue the rest of the messThe weird spellings of people and place names was difficult to read I kept having to stop and think who is this where is this? Why is this spelled like this and how do you pronounce it? Major distractionSurely some of the
