You know, reading your review of The Raven Prince reminds me strongly of the Gemma Doyle trilogy.

It's a YA Fantasy, if I recall, but it also has its merits in the historical department as well, being set at the end of the 1800s.

I tell you, it's *fantastic.* One of the major themes of the series is the coming of one into oneself, and awareness of who you are and what you crave of life.

(Also, the protagonist, Gemma Doyle, goes against so many of then-society's norms and conventions that I'd dare anyone to say she isn't a predecessor of feminists.)

It's one of my favorite book series of all time, right behind His Dark Materials and Harry Potter.

Read it, I tell you, READ IT.

=D
