Anthony Ryan schreibt unter einem Pseudonym. Ich konnte nicht herausfinden, wie der britische Autor tatsächlich heißt, aber ich habe erfahren, dass er sich zu diesem Schritt entschied, weil er während der Entstehung seines Debüts „Blood Song“ als Beamter arbeitete. Parallel zu seinem Job studierte e...
“Honour is just a word. You can’t eat it or drink it and yet everywhere I go men talk of it endlessly, and they all tell a different tale of what it actually means. For the Alpirans it’s all about duty, the Renfaelins think it’s the same as courage. In these islands it appears it means killing a son...
A single person point of view novel with a plot we've all seen before. As a young boy, the protagonist is dumped by his father at a religious order of warriors and begins a grueling life of training, bonding and surviving hardships. The book very nearly scored a miss with me as the opening chapter...
I was completely taken aback on how much I enjoyed this book. It was highly recommended to me from a fellow Epic Fantasy enthusiast, but I tried not to get my hopes up. It's been a long time since I've found a fantasy book that I love that isn't written by Brandon Sanderson. Blood Song went beyond a...
Blood Song combines elements of the Game of Thrones and Star Wars universes, with a narrative style that hearkens back to Interview with a Vampire. The first half of the story was really engaging, as the main character goes through the battle school of the 6th Order. The remainder of the story was a...

I loved it. It lived up to the hype. Book two is currently sitting on my reader waiting for me to get to it, an...
I found it on my goodreads recommendation and after reading its blurb added it right away to my to-read shelf. Had it there for almost six months and finally started the year 2014 with this FANTASTIC book. Story starts with 10 year old Vaelin Al Sorna, son of Battle Lord of the Unified realm, left a...
Blood Song is a coming of age story - Vaelin Al Sorna is dropped off at the order as a young child and we watch him rise from a boy into a man. He gets caught in a world of secrets where on the one hand he hates who he is becoming and the things he must do but yet he finds satisfaction in the small ...
I can't actually finish this one, I'm afraid. It's not that I wouldn't like to - the main character is good and the story, while cliché, is definitely readable. My problem is the punctuation. And the grammar. And the spelling. Et cetera. [spoiler] (I use that too much because Sephiroth said it o...
