Dark, romantic, and filled with courtly intrigue, The Raven’s Court is a gripping continuation of Emilia’s journey in a world where humans and vampires are dangerously intertwined.
Picking up from the events of The Last Raven, this sequel dives deeper into the politics of the vampire court and the emotional minefield of Emilia’s unique position as a human heir. The stakes—both romantic and literal—are higher than ever.
Helen Glynn Jones has a wonderful knack for balancing tension and romance. Emilia remains a compelling lead—torn between duty and desire, caught in a world that demands strength even as it exploits her humanity. Her relationship with Kyle, the vampire bodyguard sworn to protect her, really hits its stride here. The chemistry is strong, and their dynamic grows more layered as secrets unravel and loyalties are tested.
The pacing is swift, with plenty of twists and dramatic reveals that kept me turning pages. I particularly enjoyed the glimpses into vampire society and how its rigid structures clash with Emilia’s more human instincts. The world-building is lush without being overwhelming, and the emotional stakes feel real.
That said, I did wish for slightly more depth in some of the side characters and court politics. A few developments near the end felt a touch rushed, but they do set up the next book nicely and left me wanting more. Fans of romantic fantasy will likely be very satisfied.
Overall: The Raven’s Court is an addictive sequel full of suspense, forbidden romance, and dark intrigue. A perfect pick for readers who enjoy YA fantasy with a sharp edge and a strong romantic core. I’ll definitely be picking up the next book!

I absolutely loved The Last Raven so I was eager to read The Raven's Court. I was not left disappointed. I loved going back into this world, I love the characters, the writing style, everything about this novel had me hooked.
I started it yesterday and finished it today, I was that engrossed into the story.
Emelia developed so well in this novel, I felt she was strong and became more stern. Her character development for me was great I really felt she had grown from the first novel to the end of this novel. Without spoilers I loved how she showed towards the end that she wasn't to be messed with and I really feel like they've all under estimated her due to her being half human. I loved both Joaquin and Michael's characters, I loved how I always felt something more was underlying to both of them.
I loved the developments in the storyline, things I was expecting to happen and something that made my jaw drop! Still reeling from that but i see the next book (surely there's a next one after this ending) being more gritty.
I really love Helen Glynn Jones' writing style, the descriptions are lavish and really paint and image as I'm reading, I could picture everything in great detail from the wonderful descriptions given.
I could wax lyrical about this book all day but to some it up... Absolutely loved it.
