I am obviously a big fan of Cherime MacFarlane because this is the fourth book I have read by this author and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. I was especially caught up in Ms. MacFarlane's Scotland series and I did not know what to expect with "Daughter of the Raven." I soon learned this is a very versatile author!The heroine finds herself married to a tyrant, swept away to Russia, and then kidnapped. And that is only the beginning! The pampered daughter from a wealthy family was not content to wring her hands and wait to be rescued. No, feisty Anya takes her destiny into her own hands, arranges her own escape, and then sets off on a treacherous journey across Siberia!
This story has elements of adventure, danger, excitement, suspense, and romance. I was so completely captured by the story I did not want to put my Kindle down until I reached the ending. All the loose ends were tied up at the conclusion and I was left with the feeling I had taken a grand adventure.
Bravo! Cherime MacFarlane knows how to tell one helluva story!

Daughter Of The Raven The Bressoffs of Alaska Book 2 edition by Cherime MacFarlane The Graphics Shed Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I truly enjoyed this blend of historical fiction, romance, and adventure. Great story, well told, and a pleasure to read.
Seldom do I read a book that transports me to a different time and place, but Daughter of the Raven does just that. I felt as if I were an invisible traveler on Anya Bressoff's trek through the Siberian wilderness--from Russia all the way back to Alaska. Anya is strong-willed, cunning, capable, and smart...if a bit naive about marriage. Her choice of a husband proves disastrous. Charles is self-centered, but he deeply regrets his mistakes after Anya is kidnapped. That's when the heroine's perilous adventure begins.
The author's historical research, experience, and knowledge amazed me. Her well-developed characters drew me into the story and made me part of their lives. I cared about what happened to everyone--especially Anya's companion, Petyr. On Anya's journey of self-discovery, she realizes her heart belongs to Stanislaus, her childhood friend. She struggles to return home to Sitka, hoping to reunite with her family and her one true love.
Although Daughter of the Raven can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading Behind the Raven Mask first--the book that introduces Anya's father, Count Dmitri Bressoff, and her step-mother, Camille. Cherime MacFarlane is an awesome storyteller!
The main story in "Daughter of the Raven" is about Anya Bressoff as she makes her way across Siberia, trying to get home to Alaska, after being kidnapped. The story, however, is more complex than that. It intertwines the lives of Anya's family, her husband, and the man who has always loved her. It is not your typical romance book. Except for a few scenes, I might not call it a romance at all. It is more of an adventure book, with a slightly spiritual aspect. The theme of healing from forgiveness is strong throughout the story.
Set in the late 1800s, the story begins on America's west coast. It takes you to Seattle, where the inhabitants are ones you'd find in a wild west novel. It also touches on the slave and prostitution of Chinese girls.
What I liked most was following Anya across Siberia as she used survival skills and her wit to keep herself and a young boy alive. The author has provided many interesting ways to survive in the cold, harsh climate.
Well worth the time to take a look at this book.
Cherime MacFarlane's "Daughter of the Raven (The Bressoffs of Alaska Book 2) is a romantic adventure worth of notice. The author is an Alaskan, and capitalizes on her habitat to bring us a story of Anya Bressoff, a woman born to the fur trade who meets a San Franciscan charlatan, falls in love, and ends up in Russia -- exactly where Anya's father has warned her never to go.
Kidnapped, Anya escapes, heading east across Siberia, determined to return to Bressoff Island, her family's home. Dmitri Bressoff, Anya's father, has been told she is dead, so no one comes searching for her. If she can get home, she might yet remarry, and this time to her childhood sweetheart. But first lies Siberia, and making an end to her disastrous marriage.
During her perilous journey she meets a young Jewish boy called Petyr, who stands as the wisdom character in this deeply personal and moving story of a woman's struggle for survival and mastery of her fate.
This book has it all a determined woman with an exotic background learns through misfortune and pits herself against the elements, encounters betrayal, mystery, and hardship and by way of them finds inspiration, hope, forgiveness, courage -- and her true self.
Books such as this for men, focusing on personal growth through adventure and written by authors such as Conrad and Hemingway, helped us build our modern ideal of the male hero. Daughter of the Raven can help shape the evolution of the 21st century woman's ideas and ideals. This is not to say than men and boys won't enjoy this story as well the survival skills Anya demonstrates have no gender, and in some ways, neither does our heroine through tribulation, she becomes heroic through and through, admirable and bold.
I look forward to more of MacFarlane's Bressoff saga.
