Om den här titeln
“The Sixth Order wields the sword of justice and smites the enemies of the Faith and the Realm."

Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order—a caste devoted to battle. Vaelin will be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate and dangerous life of a warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order.

Vaelin’s father was Battle Lord to King Janus, ruler of the Unified Realm—and Vaelin’s rage at being deprived of his birthright knows no bounds. Even his cherished memories of his mother are soon challenged by what he learns within the Order.

But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Realm, but the world.

Kritikerröster

“Ryan is a new fantasy author destined to make his mark on the genre. His debut novel, Blood Song, certainly has it all: great coming-of-age tale, compelling character and a fast-paced plot. If his first book is any indication of things to come, then all fantasy readers should rejoice.”—Michael J. Sullivan, author of the Riyria Revelations series

“Fans of broadscale epic fantasy along the lines of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series and George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels should find this debut much to their liking.”—Library Journal

“Just impossible to put down…I had to read it ASAP and to reread it immediately on finishing, as I could not part from the wonderful universe the author created.”—Fantasy Book Critic

“Ryan hits all the high notes of epic fantasy—a gritty setting, ancient magics, ruthless intrigue, divided loyalties and bloody action...[A] promising debut.”—Publishers Weekly

“Deftly and originally executed…A page-turner.”—Booklist

“Ryan’s style is somewhat relaxed and paced extremely well…[Blood Song is] like the love child of Patrick Rothfuss and Joe Abercrombie writing the story of Jon Snow (of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire) in the Night’s Watch...A top contender for most impressive debut of the year. It is a thick, meaty novel of substance…A powerful epic that, while ending with a sense of closure, hints at more to come.”—SFFWorld.com

Der Schreibstil ist nicht unbedingt Hörbuch geeignet, weil viel in der Zeit hin und her gesprungen wird. Dennoch ist es eine Klasse Geschichte. Steven Brand ist einfach ein Klasse Erzähler.

Tolle Geschichte, Erstklassiger Sprecher

It's great to read a fantasy book that tells a personal story rather than an "epic" story. By the end a lot of questions will be answered, but just as much will remain open for interpretation.

If you like "The Name of the Wind" or "Red Rising" then you most certainly will enjoy this one.

A great read

I have as yet only listened to Blood Song: Raven's Shadow, Book 1 for about two hours. I really like the beginning, and if the book continues in this vein, holding my interest as the first few chapters do, I may even buy the Kindle edition to accompany the audio version.

The only reason I am writing a review at this early stage of my listening is to voice the trouble I am having with the narrator.

On the positive side, Steven Brand has a pleasant tone of voice, and though not a exceptionally brilliant interpreter of character as some other narrators are, his reading is ok. However, he reads important passages (e.g. when introducing a new character's name) too fast, and he does not enunciate his words clearly. This would not be a problem for me if the narrative took place in New York or London and the characters were named Tom, Dick and Harry. But both the character names and the names of different civilizations, cities, geographical areas, etc. are all exotic fantasy names and Steven Brand mumbles them too quickly and fuzzily to catch the the first time around. That's why I'm considering buying the text edition to read along. I've been listening to epic fantasy for years and never had this problem with any other narrator.

amazing story - i also heard it in german and the speaker is some times a little bit fast but you can understand everything

love it

Die Geschichte selbst ist gut, nur der Sprecher entspricht nicht dem gewohnten Niveau hochklassiger Audiobooks. Der Mangel an unterschiedlichen Stimmen macht es stellenweise schwer, den Dialogen zu folgen.
