The Missing (Raven, Romda and Ravai Book 3)

'The Missing, Raven, Romda and Ravai Vol III,' by Dave Maruszewski is an interesting addition to the series set in the charming and quirky town of Aston. The story follows three engaging knights: Raven, Romda, and Ravai, who venture to Aston to investigate the mysterious disappearances of its people. Their dynamic chemistry and witty banter create genuinely entertaining moments throughout the book. One of the book's notable strengths lies in its diverse characters, each bringing their unique personality to the story. The dialogue, especially between the three knights, offers moments of genuine humor and charm. What particularly stands out are the meaningful themes of friendship, bravery, and community that are woven into the narrative. These messages resonate well with younger readers without feeling preachy. The book presents an interesting approach to vocabulary enrichment, introducing more challenging words that can help expand a young reader's language skills, though this sometimes creates an uneven reading experience as it seems to waver between different age groups. While the story takes some unexpected turns, particularly in subplots involving the mayor and the quiet lady, these elements might work better with some additional development. At 2 out of 5 stars, this book has clear potential in its character dynamics and positive messages, making it worth considering for ambitious young readers who enjoy a vocabulary challenge and appreciate stories about friendship and adventure. While it may not fully realize all its aims, its heart is in the right place, and certain readers particularly those who enjoy quirky characters and don't mind working through more complex vocabulary might find something to appreciate in its unique approach.

The Missing: Raven, Romda, and Ravai Vol III by Dave Maruszewski follows three knights as they unravel a mystery in Ashton, a town in the northeastern part of their kingdom. Mysterious disappearances of some of its well-known residents have rocked Ashton. The local Sheriff in Ashton cannot solve this case alone, as the situation is too big for him. The sheriff escalates the matter to the Kings castle, where the three best knights, Romda, Ravai, and Raven, are dispatched to solve the case. The three reach Ashton and soon begin fishing for information that can lead them to clues about the mysterious disappearances. Their search uncovers an agenda that threatens the people living in Ashton and those in nearby towns. Dave uses the third-person narrative in presenting The Missing, giving it a classic feel reminiscent of traditional storytelling. Suspense sets early in the narrative, rising steadily through several plot twists that hold the narratives suspenseful character to the end. This strategy keeps the reader hooked, wondering what will happen as the plot builds to its climax and the final reveal. Dave further uses imagery that adds a depth of intrigue to the story, evoking a sense of horror while enriching the narratives atmosphere of thrill. The story arc and third-person narrative further add to the narratives thrill, with the plot twists progressing from spooky to bizarre, featuring moments when you hold your breath and panic as the plot unfolds. As such, the narrative is fast paced because the action never relents with sub-plots but keeps to the knights investigations on the missing persons. Humor is also evident in the dialogues between characters. One thing that can be improved is the choice of character names, which I found challenging to keep up with their respective characters.                I highly recommend The Missing: Raven, Romda, and Ravai to young adult readers as the main characters seem young and playful. I also recommend it to readers who love conspiracy theories, as they will find the arguments in the book intriguing.

In Dave Maruszewski's The Missing, the third book in the series, a town called Ashton is nestled in the "northwest quadrant of the kingdom", where strange incidents have been reported. Who will save Ashton this time? The sheriff seems to have given up working alone, and the townsfolk have formed a group to help find answers. The story features two heroes and one heroine, all known for their willingness to help when called upon. Though I have not yet read the two previous installments of The Missing, I still get along with this one. At first, I felt like I was entering a world as mysteriously steeped as that found in Tom Perrottas novel The Leftovers, which was thrilling. However, as I continued reading, the book began to chart a different path, exposing the presence of alien creatures living among the people and resulting in a short gripping narrative. The characters are the kind any reader would want to see in a book. Raven, Romda, and Ravai are impressive, and their interactions with the kings servant attest to their friendship and teamwork. The assistant states, Maybe the king needs to pick knights more suited for this job. To which, Raven responds to Ravai instead of the assistant. Probably me, to which Ravai retorts, Probably me. Interestingly, the presence of the three Raven, Ravai, and Romda in the gym adds a modern touch to the scene. However, Ravai is wielding a large club, which appears quite outdated. Therefore, if you are reading and wondering when the story is set, you might feel compelled to dig deeper, intrigued by these contrasts, and much more. Once the story got started, the plot reeled me in, enveloping me in the mystery gripping Ashton and highlighting the kings confidence in his three most reliable doers. As I searched for the culprits, I could not help but pay closer attention to characters like Laura the Quiet, Stephen, the mayor, and a few other potential suspects. My only regret is that the story is too short. Maruszewski should have indulged us further into how life has been in Ashton, delving deeper into the characters backstories, especially the protagonists. Overall, who should read this book? The language used is simple and appropriate for young readers as well. Provided the reader is a die-hard fan of fantasy, they will likely enjoy it.

Who are these people whose names all begin with the letter R in David Maruszewskis book, The Missing Raven, Romda, and Ravie book 3? Well, to start with, they have a reputation that the king highly values and two of them are interrupted at the gym by the Kings assistant because once again their service to the kingdom is being requested. People have been mysteriously missing. The sheriff has reached a moment whereby he must tell the concerned people the truth: he is overwhelmed and does not seem to head anywhere with his investigation. Therefore, much as there is the search party, the hope of finding the missing people lies with this interesting breed of people whose names begin with R. As David declares earlier on, he is writing for both the young and the old, and the book demonstrates this. Its plot is simple: town folks are missing and the king has assigned the responsibility of finding them to his three most trusted, reliable servants. The chapters are short, maintaining the pace and perfectly revealing a little here and there about the protagonists and the antagonists. Even the language used is a perfect fit for both audiences. The book also comes with some elements of mystery, especially in the beginning; especially when it becomes apparent that people have been missing in ways unknown to man. The benefit of this is that the reader is not only immersed in the story but also begins to wonder about the books genre and what or who is behind the widespread disappearances. Though the book is such an engaging short read, no sooner had the three investigators rolled up their sleeves than they found the culprits. That is to say, Raven, Romda, and Ravai do not sweat much, which slightly diminishes the suspense. Nevertheless, the book features a cast of intriguing characters, including some cunning shapeshifters and humans who are oblivious to the unfolding events.

The presence of comedic glimpses and the spirit of rivalry between friends put a smile on your face. As a reader, I wish there were page numbering and chapter names.
