Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Book 4: Two Ships in the Night by Jeremy Whitley, Xenia Pamfil
jennifermreads's review against another edition

Raven’s second year as ship captain begins. But when a celebration is cut short by an attack, the crew is tested and finds relationships flourish – and suffer.
I cannot even get into my review without squealing for joy that the ads have disappeared from these volumes!! I was overjoyed to find all 128 pages of this book full of Raven and her crew with a poignant author’s note (and a heartfelt promise to his readers) as well as several progression views from the artist.
And now we get to see what this crew is made of! While the story begins with a riotous celebration with food and dancing, it is interrupted by an attack from another ship. Swords fly, bodies bleed, men tumble, our female crew is tested, and relationships complicate. Now, this is why I love these characters: tremendous strength and friendship from a solid crew of women of every ethnicity and sexuality.

Fun and action packed! Plus this is the start of a couple of fun mysterious storylines. What is going on with Helena? Plus Sunshine?!

Raven the Pirate Princess is an amazing series of stories with a wide diverse range of lady characters. Book four is a dramatic arc which has the women of the crew deal with some massive loss, drama, and romance. The narrative is gripping and had me engaged the whole time. There was so many lovely things going on and and the creative team goes a great job balancing it's large cast to give everyone moments.
The art by Xenia Pamfil is amazing, the diverse body shapes and expressive faces make for really lived characters. She manages to really make great use of light and color to make for a powerful comic.
I had a few issues with some narrative choices, a bit of the dialogue and all that but overall this is a really great story. I think any little complaint can be overwritten by the amazing voice each character gets.
Also its hella queer and I love it.

While the authors note at the end was nice I am supremely disappointed by the changed art style. Everyone has matching winged eyeliner and their mouths all look the same. Most of them don’t even look like their original designs.

The art and story felt really off to me in this one. Maybe because there were so many characters to focus on, not much seemed to happen compared to the first books?

Rating: 3.5/5
Not as good as the previous installments, but just as enjoyable. It started off fairly slow buy it picked near the middle. Could've done without Dezzy pushing Sunshine into making a move on Raven. Sunshine was introduced as a strong & independent character & it felt odd seeing her be pushed to do something. Here's to X & Raven not being injured in the next installment.

This was a solid 4 stars for me and then I read the post script by the author and it bumped it up to a 4.5/5. I love everything about the diversity, art, and girl power in the Raven books. Yes it is a little heavy handed at times, but the representation is also wonderful and important and so encouraging. Props to Whitley, Pamfil, and the rest of the creative team.

So good! So gay! (Like really, I think everyone on this ship is queer in some way, and it’s awesome.) So much Katie Kling! I absolutely loved it.
I also appreciated the author’s note. Keep doing good work, Jeremy!
