Crowfall is the gritty conclusion to the epic Raven’s Mark series. The power of the Nameless lies broken. The Blackwing captains are being picked off one by one. The Deep Kings have grown stronger. Ryhalt Galharrow has spent six years in the Misery, absorbing it’s power in preparation for one final mission to defend the Range and stand against the Deep Kings, but all power comes with a price.
I can say honestly that the Raven’s Mark series is one of the best epic fantasy series I’ve ever read, and Crowfall was an excellent conclusion. It is engaging and thrilling throughout, and brilliantly written.
Galharrow is a fantastic main character, incredibly likeable despite being so rugged and grumpy, and he goes through some great character growth. By Crowfall, he has crossed over the edges of insanity, which is presented very effectively. I thought the inclusion of the ghosts of Galharrow’s past was very well done, and it was also nice to have some of the beloved characters we lost along the way to still be present in ghost form in the final book.
I would love to see this series turned into a movie, but it would need the full Lord-of-the-Rings treatment. It is an epic adventure with big battles, amazing scenery, gruesome creatures, magic, emotion and a whole lot of heart. I’ve seen other people refer to this series as GrimHeart, and I know exactly what they mean.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
