About this listen
For Ryhalt Galharrow, working for Crowfoot as a Blackwing captain is about as bad as it gets - especially when his orders are garbled, or incoherent, or impossible to carry out.
The Deep Kings are hurling fire from the sky, a ghost in the light known only as the Bright Lady had begun to manifest in visions across the city, and the cult that worship her grasp for power while the city burns around them.
Galharrow may not be able to do much about the cult - or about strange orders from the Nameless - but when Crowfoot's arcane vault is breached and an object of terrible power is stolen, he's propelled into a race against time to recover it. Only to do that, he needs answers, and finding them means travelling into nightmare: to the very heart of the Misery.
Ravencry is the second book in the Raven's Mark series, continuing the story that began with the award winning epic fantasy Blackwing.

Real, Dark and Gritty
Real in the way that makes you forget you're reading.
Dark in the way that keeps you from escaping.
Gritty in the way that sticks to your teeth*
*please don't eat the book.
I'll admit this isn't normally the type of story I'm overly keen on, this type of world, this type of grimness, but McDonald has somehow managed to find beauty in his filthy world and that has me hooked. Somewhere between its bleak harshness and the curious characters that do what they can just to carry on, I find myself lost in the words and am now stuck with the irksome duty of impatiently waiting for book 3.
For the audio fans: Colin Mace continues his fine form as Galharrow. He captures all the characters well enough to make you feel like they're right there with you. A great combination of narrator and story.
The cover (UK/AU): I do like these covers from a design perspective. I don't think they evoke much from an imagination standpoint but their design is super cool. This one isn't quite as good as Blackwing I feel. It seems more like a grab at stock images to find the right bird to continue the theme. Still, it's pretty.
In short: One of the rare grimdarks that define the genre.
