Only to do that, he needs answers, and finding them means travelling into nightmare: to the very heart of the Misery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRAVENCRY is the second book in the Raven''s Mark series, continuing the story that began with the award winning epic f\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRavencry is the perfect sequel and \u003cb\u003ea book every fantasy author would aspire to write\u003c\/b\u003e. * BOOK NEST *\u003cbr\u003eThis is \u003cb\u003etop quality fantasy\u003c\/b\u003e, assured and inventive in equal measure, with the kind of pacing that feels like a surging tsunami- an unstoppable maelstrom building to impossible heights before crashing down in a fury of destruction. \u003cb\u003eI have no doubt this will be one of my best reads of the year.\u003c\/b\u003e * FANTASY BOOK REVIEW *\u003cbr\u003eGuaranteed already, this will be one of the best books I will read this year. * FANTASY BOOK REVIEW *\u003cbr\u003eRavencry doesn't retread old ground, and it doesn't try to be something completely different. Instead, it takes everything that was great about Blackwing and \u003ci\u003ebuilds on it\u003c\/i\u003e, making for an even better book... Ravencry was everything that I wanted in a sequel. * FANTASY INN *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn all the years I have read fantasy books I don't think I have ever come across a series that I have loved as much this\u003c\/b\u003e and due to this Ed McDonald has become one of my favorite fantasy authors of all time (up there with Brandon Sanderson \u0026amp; J.R.R Tolkien). * OBSERVANT RAVEN BOOK REVIEWS *\u003cbr\u003eAn impressive work of fantasy, and one I think we'll be hearing more about. Highly recommended. * SF AND F REVIEWS *\u003cbr\u003eEd McDonald is an author to watch out for. I don't say things like this lightly. I read a lot of fantasy, and I don't hesitate to say that this will be one of the biggest fantasy debuts of the year. McDonald has given us the first instalment of what looks to be a very interesting series. * THE BOOK BAG *\u003cbr\u003eA very impressive debut, with complex characters and an imaginative setting that does much to impress the reader. * SFF WORLD *\u003cbr\u003eOverall, \u003ci\u003eBlackwing\u003c\/i\u003e is a fast paced novel that is likely to become a classic within the genre. It can be read as a self-contained story, but with a clear opening for the series to continue. This is the best debut novel in the genre this year. A joy to read. * STARBURST *\u003cbr\u003eI heartily recommend this. * Adrian Selby, author of Snakewood *\u003cbr\u003eVivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I really should have seen coming and didn't (wizards are bastards and here's the proof). Brilliant use of magic as technology, too, like lightbulbs and water heaters. Excellent gender representation  . . . Suffice to say, I bloody loved it and I am officially an Ed McDonald fan. He deserves to go far. * Elspeth Cooper, author of THE SONGS OF THE EARTH *\u003cbr\u003eVivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I really should have seen coming and didn't (wizards are bastards and here's the proof).
