In the third gritty installment of the Raven's Mark series, Blackwing Captain Ryhalt Galharrow finds that all power comes with a price...
A sorcerous cataclysm has hit the Range, the final defensive line between the republic and the immortal Deep Kings.
Tormenting red rains sweep the land, new monstrosities feed on fear in the darkness, and the power of the Nameless, the gods who protect the republic, lies broken. The Blackwing captains who serve them are being picked off one by one, and even immortals have learned what it means to die. Meanwhile, the Deep Kings have only grown stronger, and they are poised to deliver a blow that will finally end the war.
Ryhalt Galharrow stands apart from it all.
He has been deeper into the wasteland known as the Misery than ever before. It has grown within him--changed him--and now the ghosts of his past, formerly confined to the Misery, walk with him everywhere.
They will even follow him--and the few surviving Blackwing captains--on one final mission into the darkness.
Why did I add Crowfall to my bookshelf?
I loved the first two books in this trilogy but I haven’t read this one yet for some strange reason. I don’t know why I do this! This is a darker fantasy that I tend to really love. I downloaded a copy of this book from NetGalley prior to the book publishing and then bought a copy of the audiobook almost 2 years ago but haven’t got around to it just yet. Hopefully, I can make time for it soon!
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
Do it! Finish the series!
I often find myself ignoring or forgetting about other books in a series. I hope you enjoy it.
I’m terrible at finishing trilogies, even if I own them!
I was recently looking at the last Graveyard Queen series book on my shelf and wondering why I devoured all the earlier ones and hesitate to finish the last one. Guess it is a common book reader woe. 🙂
This looks good, Carole!
Well I enjoyed all 3 books including this one but yes, it was very dark. I have to time this sort of thing for my mood.
What a cool cover! I think you should definitely pick it up and enjoy the series finale!
i won the book and enjoyed the read. i never reviewed it though. hope you enjoy it when you find the time to read it
oh boy….that cover gives out all the creepy vibes, perfect for this upcoming time of year? !! 🙂 I like darker fantasy themes too especially when its well written.
It looks intriguing
I haven’t read this but I hope you do when you read it.
Omg finish it!
I have a few of my own on that log. My time at present is limited but I look forward to hearing more from you.
