About this listen

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....

Does not make up for the slow releases of Books 2/3 which turned out to be increasingly awful, but another step in the right direction (the original).

Best since Blood Song

I really enjoy the series and love all the characters old and new.. I think it is a great idea having the great Vielin al Sorna take on the mongol invasion.. My only issue but its not anything to put me of relistening or listening to what comes next is Steven Brands style of voice acting.. I love his voice and it suits Veilin perfectly but I think he has about 2 other accents in his arsenal. I had trouble following who was talking to who and found myself rewinding and having to concentrate to figure out what's going on. Maybe it's just my opinion but this is my review..

Great continuaty
