2022 book 105

 Stephanie Burgis' The Raven Heir

I’m generally a Burgis fan and her latest is no exception—it’s a middle grade fantasy about a girl (who can shapeshift into any animal!) raised with her family in an isolated and enchanted forest, until an army comes to call because one of them is the heir to the throne, but she’s a triplet so they don’t know /which/ is the heir. Magical adventures ensue! A lot of the story beats are predictable here, but I liked the characters and the writing enough that it didn’t bother me. I did wish the end was slightly less melodramatic but a fun and satisfying story nonetheless. A-.
