Aw. Never see review like this. I thought it was all like sugar-coated review. Thanks for your honesty. It's so sad this book is so bad in writing.

It is so regretful that the book was not well written and that all characters except one are not relatable. I hope next time the author will write something we can enjoy reading. Thanks for the review.

I think this is not my type. The book both violently and sexually graphic. There are numerous sex scandals, murders, and instances of rape. Thanks for your sincerity.

The themes of a dystopian setting combined with black magic have the potential to make for an intriguing plot. However, it does sound as if this is lacking in relatable characters and a certain coherence.

There is nothing as painful as suffering for an offence one did not commit. In some cases, monetary compensations are given. This is good if one still young enough to accomplish their objectives in life.

Raging Falcons would have been a good reference book had it been well written.

Raging Falcon by Stephen Perkins is a political thriller book whereby sex scandals, murders, and rape are featured in the suspense novel. In the light of paranormal conspiracy theory, black-magic is featured as a father is meddling further than he should in the life of the son. A 1 out of 4 stars is given with some grammatical errors and fair proofreading.

Graphic sex, violence, and language, along with confusing character names/titles don't entice me to read this book. Wondering if the author will consider making some changes? Thanks for the informative review!

Wow, what a bummer. The cover is so attractive, you get a lot of thoughts swirling in your head at the sight of it. It's just unfortunate that the flaws are too disappointing, was really looking forward to reading the book, especially as it is supposedly a young adult book. Thanks for the honest, detailed review

I am not much into political thrillers. And this one doesn't seem to do any good on that front anyway. Thanks for the review.
