Summary

 The Black Song is the action-packed conclusion to the Raven's Blade series by Anthony Ryan, which began with The Wolf's Call.

The Steel Horde has laid waste to the Venerable Kingdom, unleashing a storm of fire and blood. Now the leader of this mighty host - Kehlbrand, the warlord who thinks himself a god - turns his eyes to the other merchant kingdoms. No one can stop his divine conquest.

No one, perhaps, except Vaelin Al Sorna.

Yet Vaelin is on the run, his own army in disarray. Worse, the new blood song he has acquired is as much a curse as a blessing, and seeks to guide him down a path far darker than he could have imagined...

I started this series a year ago, and had to abandon it due to the narrator. I had just finished a series by Michael J Sullivan where the narrator was brilliant with his voices for each character, and I just couldn’t get into this. I revisited it 12 months later and was able to get through it. It just takes more attentive listening. Some people like this type of narration. I don’t. I wish he’d get a different voice actor for his books. I’m hesitant to dive into any other offerings here, but will probably buy the physical books from this author.

I love his books. Better read than listened too

Enjoyed this book as much as the last. Really looking forward to the next one in the series

Great story

I liked the first book but this one got caught up in too many battles. I realise many readers love this type of story but it's not for me.

Too many battles

Too slow. Too convulted story wise. Pacing was way to slow at the start, way to quick at the end. Conclusion was short but satisfying.

Convulted and slow paced
