Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting story of a rag-tag group of survivalists scraping out an existence in a dead mining town. Set only 10 years in the future, it paints a bleak picture of what humanity, and the Earth, might look like for people living in 2031. Hosted by the Raven Woman, a shapeshifting tavern owner who has lived for millenia, watching humans destroy her habitat. She is an odd character, but she does look out for her community in her own way. As the story’s viewpoint changed from so many different characters, it took me a bit to get a handle on who was who, and why we were privy to information… it took a good chunk of the book to understand what Koerber was saying with this work. It is a well-written and thought-out piece that I enjoyed, and was worth sticking with it til the end. I’ll be looking at what other things this authour has written.
