I know some people enjoy graphic, blow by blow descriptions of long battles but it's not my cup of tea. Sword fighting epic quest with battle mages, infrequent dragons. Good if that's your thing.

This is not Barclay’s best work. As usual the characters are good and the relationships between them are strong and believable. I love the complex relationship between the members and how past events aren’t simple forgotten.

The problem is the plot. While action packed, it hinges on all the characters failing to ask the very obvious questions. Let’s start with the dragons. At the end of the last book, three Kaan dragons were trapped in Balaia, which is completely unsuitable and is now killing them. First question, why stay in Balaia? There is a southern continent, it has magic because the elves come from there and they have magic and they have a mental link to Hirad if they need something. Or better they could take up residence on one of the many uncharted islands in the archipelagoes?

Second, why does no one even suggest having the dragons carry them to where they need to go? The dragons’ lives depend on the Raven’s success, and they spend the vast majority of the story sitting in a cave doing bupkiss. When Hirad does finally call on them, it is almost a month later, and they have lost most of their fire and their resistance to magic. But if they had just flown the Raven to the island in the first place it would have by passed delays, conflicts, and a ton of travel time. They would have arrived way before there enemies. There is a handwaved excuse about then being the masters not the servants, but considering the stakes they should probably get over it.

The next big problem is the magic system. There are four colleges of magic, and the One Magic. To be honest, they all seems to be a distinction without a difference. They use the same spells with the same effects. They show up as different colors in the ‘mana spectrum’ and the One mages can use all the colors. But on the whole there is no obvious difference.

This makes it hard to believe that a return of the One Magic can be a threat in and of itself. The real threat seems to be that so much power is heaped on a child too young to understand or control the forces within her. I am left wondering why the colleges formed and why it would be so bad if the One reformed.

On that note, how did they go so long without inter-college hanky panky? Surely this has happened before, especially with one college advocating the return of the One.

Lyanna is a fairly flat character. She’s only five, but she still lacks a personality beyond wanting her mother and being scared at the right moments. She is a sacrificial lamb from the word go, and I feel like her being a child is really the only part that should tug at my heart strings.

Overall, I am not a fan of this installment. It has good action, but I expect the characters to be smarter then what they are displaying.

This trilogy was bungled.

The moral of this story is that kids are a nightmare and having them leads to unimaginable turmoil, anguish, and death.

That aside, the book whisks right along following the same personality tropes of the heroes… except with Erienne, which is a problem.

In the first two books, Erienne is a powerful mage with experience in warfare. Yet, as soon as she becomes a mother, she becomes a helpless women who desperately needs strong men to come save her.

The end, clearly a setup for further novels, fell flat, and had no redemption for any of the characters’ troubles. As if to say, “oh well; guess we’ll just pack it in.”

I thought there’d be some big reveal connecting the dots in the lore. There wasn’t. I don’t really see what the difference is between college magics and the One magic other than colors and they write about them in different languages.

Also, Xetesk is good in this book for some reason.

Un terzo libro ancora più emozionante dei primi due. Mi ha fatta emoziona (chiedo scusa per la ripetizione, ma è stato talmente bello che... fatico a trovare le parole🥺) per il semplice fatto che Erienne per salvare la sua bambina ha fatto di tutto, anche andarsene e separarsi da Denser, l'uomo che ama e padre della sua bambina.
Questo libro mi ha fatto riflettere molto, perché dimostra che l'amore di una madre per la propria figlia dovrebbe essere smisurato, dovrebbe proteggerla ad ogni costo.
Voglio finire col dirvi che, se non vi siete ancora decisi a leggere questa trilogia, è giunto il momento di farlo,per tutte le avventure che vivrete e per le emozioni che vi farà provare... Merita al 100% una possibilità.

I had a hard time finishing this one. First of all they keep going on about 'the one' without in my opinion explaining anything about why she is so important.

I also felt that the amount of death and destruction she made was completely unnecessary and even wastefull. They could have made the destruction clear in a completely different way without killing more then half of the world.

Also why were the battles written in so much detail?? It kinda made me feel sick and I dit not read most of it.

Lyanna felt to me like such a brat! Killing people and destroying anything because she did not get her way. Maybe its because I work with kids but it made me cringe

And then in the end....... She died so what was the whole point of this entire book!!

The final book in the Chronicles of the Raven trilogy and the final book for me to read about the adventures of the Raven. It was a fluid transition from Noonshade even with five years having past and the ending leads on perfectly to Elfsorrow.
It was an interesting experience reading it for the first time but knowing the ending already. I had no fear for Denser or Eirenne as I knew they both survived and I had no desire to get to know Lyanna more as I knew she didn't.
Darrick still remains my favourite character and I'm glad he got more development in this instalment. It was also interesting to see how the Raven first met Ren.
I will have to read the Legends of the Raven again now I've finished the originals so I can get more of the references.

Tundus, et tuleb terviklik triloogia, aga kolmanda raamatu kirjutamise ajaks oli agent autorile juba selgeks teinud, et sul on nii hästi müüv maailm, tee selle peale veel midagi. Nii juhtuski, et komplekti lõpetava loo asemel saime me uut komplekti sissejuhatava ja probleeme vihjava raamatu. Teise punkti kaotab lugu võtte pärast, mida esimeseski raamatus kasutati. Seal see töötas, oli eluliselt vajalik ja oluline, et üks peategelastest kasvaks just selliseks nagu loo jaoks tarvis oli, aga siin oli lihtsalt üleliigne ja lugejat peedistav.

I read Dawnthief, Noonshade and Nightchild. I had a hard time putting them down. I enjoyed the bond that the Raven had for each other. They saw each other through to the end of each situation. I would read them again.

Una trilogia fantasy che avevo scartato quando era stata pubblicata dalla Nord, anche se era un periodo in cui acquistavo quasi tutto quello che ritenevo perlomeno leggibile. Ma una rapida occhiata al primo volume mi aveva convinto che il livello di leggibilità era raggiunto con difficoltà, o non raggiunto del tutto. Li ho letti ora, in una versione digitale, per verificare quella mia sensazione, e devo effettivamente confermarla in toto.
Si tratta di una opera piuttosto brutta, che si salva solo in parte perché nel mondo fantasy esistono opere ancora più brutte e illeggibili, il cosiddetto fantatrash, ma questa trilogia del Corvo ci si avvicina molto.
Quando in una recensione si dà un giudizio non proprio positivo ad un libro, è buona educazione cercare di dare anche qualche ragione di tale giudizio, possibilmente un poco più oggettivo del semplice "non mi piace", che è invero cosa molto diversa da un giudizio di qualità sul libro, come quello che sto cercando di dare io.
Allora perché non ritengo questi romanzi di qualità sufficiente per il mio livello di accettazione?
Incominciamo proprio dall'inizio, dal primo capitolo. La Compagnia del Corvo, di cui non si sa ancora niente e se ne ignorano i componenti, sembra essere pagata per difendere un castello da un assalto nemico, e la descrizione dell'attacco è la prima scena del romanzo. Ottimo inizio secondo le regole migliori per la narrazione di genere: far precipitare subito il lettore nell'azione diretta. Però bisognerebbe che il lettore fosse messo in grado di capire qualcosa, almeno chi sta con chi e chi contro. Invece ci si trova a far confusione tra difensori ed attaccanti... un mago viene ucciso, un altro scappa e viene inseguito dal Corvo, ma non è chiaro chi sia... e improvvisamente si è in presenza di un drago imponente, assolutamente micidiale, che però parla con un esponente del Corvo, e quando il mago inseguito gli ruba un medaglione si scatena contro tutti con vampate di fuoco, ma tutti però si salvano. Il mago (era un avversario?) offre alla Compagnia del Corvo un nuovo contratto, e quello che si era capito di alleati e nemici va definitivamente nella spazzatura. Lo stile narrativo poi non aiuta per niente: frasi brevi, descrizioni all'osso, tono aulico.
Superata la confusione iniziale, i ruoli dei vari personaggi iniziano faticosamente a delinearsi e la storia può finalmente svilupparsi. Ma ci veniamo a trovare nel pieno dei clichè del mondo fantasy: maghi potentissimi ma divisi in "scuole" che non si sopportano l'un l'altra (e nonostante il loro potere, non governano il mondo), un universo multidimensionale che solo alcuni maghi riescono a percorrete e ad aprire "porte" tra le dimensioni e draghi enormi, fortissimi, intelligenti e feroci che non si capisce in base a quale legge fisica possano esistere, ma "tanto è fantasy"...
Ovviamente parte la ricerca per "il segreto dell'incantesimo nascosto" che è l'unica soluzione possibile per fermare l'invasione dei cattivi che più cattivi non si può, e quando al termine del primo volume l'incantesimo viene finalmente usato e i cattivi eliminati, ci si accorge che si è generato un pericolo ancora maggiore... e si ricomincia a correre, a cercare, per trovare l'unica soluzione capace di evitare la fine del mondo.
Direi che basta così, non voglio infierire oltre. Tutto sommato la vicenda rimane in piedi e il linguaggio, seppur povero e nello stesso tempo arzigogolato, scorre senza inciampi davvero grossi. Questo mi evita di dare un voto completamente insufficiente, ma onestamente ci siamo molto vicini.

I'm tempted to give a fourth star, but I can't ignore that this book has problems.

Especially the pacing of the first half is odd, the book is switching between too many point-of-view characters too quickly. Sometimes for a paragraphs not even four lines long. And that's not in the action scenes, but in the stage when the book is still (re)introducing us to the setting and building up exposition. It makes it hard to really delve into the story and lose yourself in it. For me the book didn't pick up a good pace until around page 230, which is the half-way point in my edition (the attack on Arlen).

Another problem I had was that the relationship between Denser and Erienne still fell emotionally flat for me. I never could take their relationship for anything other than a marriage of convenience, and it still feels like we're told how much they love each other rather than shown. While reading I never got the impression that they were actually in love, yet, the author wants me to believe it.

I wish the joy of meeting the characters again would have blocked out all the faults, but it was still hard going for me on the first few hundred pages. (The banter between the members of The Raven was still as lovely as ever though. And how much do I like Darrick? He's so nice, and the only sane man in Balaia)

What did work however was making me care about Lyanna. She's so sweet your really want her to make it.

Also James Barclay is still a master of writing good fantasy action scenes. I admit. Reading about Protectors easily cutting through lines of noraml soldiers and slaughtering everything in their pass without almost any losses on their own side, stops being exciting and starts to become disturbing really fast, but the other action scenes are superb (Even though Barclay did a thing I absolutely never want to read in my fantasy action ever again: throwing your sword. Not even elves should be able ignore physics like that ... and Barclay's sailing lore isn't 100% straight either, I'm sorry to say *g*).

I'm also not quite satisfied with the ending. It's too much of a sequel hook. Even in a series of books I like the individual volumes to end with tieing up a few more lose ends than happened here (is the Unknown's family alright? Can the dragons go back home? When is Selik finally going to get his ultimate come-uppance?)

So, it's a good three-stars-rating, but it's still only three stars.

Recensione pubblicata su Cronache di Betelgeuse

La compagnia del Corvo deve affrontare un momento terribile: dopo essersi sciolti e aver proseguito con le loro vite, sono costretti a combattere di nuovo insieme per proteggere un’innocente. Per una volta però gli eroi sentono il passare del tempo e non sono più in forma smagliante.

Erienne e Denser avrebbero potuto costruire una famiglia insieme, preoccupandosi solo della loro figlia Lyanna. Invece si sono lasciati dividere dalle divergenze di opinione sulla magia e sull’educazione della bambina. Questa loro separazione li rende più deboli e impreparati alle sfide che devono affrontare. Erienne pensa di sapere tutto, di essere in grado di poter proteggere sua figlia dalle minacce del mondo esterno senza troppi problemi. Lyanna infatti è una bambina troppo dotata, che non riesce a controllare il proprio potere. E’ fin troppo viziata, coccolata dalla madre e dal padre, che sono pronti a soddisfare qualsiasi suo capriccio.

Quando Erienne compie un gesto disperato, sarà solo il Corvo l’unico in grado di venirle in aiuto. L’Ignoto però è riuscito ad adattarsi a una vita normale, gestendo la sua locanda senza pensare più ai combattimenti. Hirad si sta occupando dei draghi rimasti intrappolati a Balaia, rimanendo in disparte rispetto al resto del gruppo. Il suo legame con Sha-Kaan è rimasto intenso e il barbaro farebbe di tutto per ricambiare il grande gesto che hanno fatto per salvare l’intero continente.

L’avventura è in parte costituita dal ritrovarsi dei vecchi compagni, che devono ritrovare la grinta e la coesione. Non sarà tutto facile come nei libri passati, perché l’età e i nuovi stili di vita iniziano a farsi sentire. Il Corvo rimane comunque una forza da non sottovalutare, perché riescono a ideare una strategia anche nei momenti più critici, quando tutti getterebbero la spugna.

Het slot van de trilogie over de Raven.
Een misser om mee te beginnen is het feit dat de vertaler (een andere dan van de eerste 2 boeken) niet de moeite heeft genomen de eerste twee boeken in het Nederlands te lezen. Hierdoor zijn enkele termen anders vertaald. Voorbeeld: Xeteskiër is nu Xeteskaan. Ook staan er (vooral in het begin) redelijk wat fouten (tikfouten en grammaticafouten), kennelijk is de vertaling van dit boek niet goed geredigeerd. Genoeg mensen die zich er niet aan zullen storen, maar ik vond het erg vervelend.
Dan het verhaal. De huurlingen zijn alweer meer dan 5 jaar met pensioen, maar moeten toch weer opdraven om de wereld Balaia te redden van de ondergang.
De dochter van Erienne en Denser, beiden magiërs (de ene van Dordover, de andere van Xetesk) blijkt onvoorziene krachten van de Ene te bezitten, die beteugeld moeten worden, want omdat ze nog niet kan omgaan met die krachten veroorzaakt ze vloedgolven en stormen die hun weerga niet kennen.
De eerste honderd pagina's zijn voornamelijk introductie en verhaalopzet, daarna komt er wat meer vaart in en leest het ook gelijk een stuk sneller.
Erienne vlucht met haar dochter, waarna zowat de hele wereld (de vier Hogescholen en de Hekschenmeesters) achter hen aanzit.
Sommigen willen het kind doden, anderen willen het voor henzelf houden. Onwaarschijnlijke pacts zijn gesloten.
Hoe zal dit aflopen...
Naar het einde toe wordt de spanning steeds hoger. Wat gaat er gebeuren, wie zal de strijd winnen.
Dordovaanse Magiërs, Xeteskische Beschermers en de Raven vechten in de finale.
Een mooi verhaal dat naarmate de ontknoping vordert steeds vlotter leest, maar het einde vond ik ronduit zwak. Een oplossing om nóg een trilogie te kunnen schrijven. Erg jammer.
Gezien ik het boek verder best goed vond, toch nog een duim omhoog.

“Nightchild” (Pyr, $16, 400 pages) takes more than a willing suspension of disbelief to make sense of what happens. But first, the background: This is book three in the Chronicles of the Raven, and the Raven is a small group of warriors and magicians who save the world while trying to keep from fighting with each other. That leads to the first suspension of disbelief, a common one in such books, and relatively easily digested: The Raven may get wounded, but they are so skilled and talented as warriors and thinkers that it’s pretty much impossible to kill them.

That’s fine, but author James Barclay has also decided that his main villain, named Selik, is also unkillable – despite the fact readers thought he was dead after book two (“Noonshade”), and that he somehow, with no explanation, was the only survivor of a devastating shipwreck in “Nightchild”. (The fact that he’s incompetent and keeps getting almost killed doesn’t seem to prevent him from continually being put in positions of power either.)

Finally, logic breaks down completely concerning the powerful young magician at the center of the plot. For no apparent reason, the mother is sent away just at the critical moment – well, no apparent reason except to make the book work better.

All that said, “Nightchild” is a fun read for the most part, but Barclay has obliterated the fine line between fun and the-creaky-wheels-of-the-plot-are-showing fun too often in this book. Here’s hoping he does better next time.

Sono passati cinque anni da quando il gruppo di mercenari conosciuto come il Corvo ha neutralizzato gli effetti del terribile incantesimo Rubaurora. Cinque anni di pace, che hanno consentito all'Ignoto e ai suoi compagni di riprendere un'esistenza normale, e alla maga Erienne e al mago Denser di coronare il loro sogno d'amore con la nascita di una bellissima bambina, Lyanna. Ma quell'immensa gioia rischia di diventare una spaventosa minaccia per il mondo di Balaia. La piccola, infatti, è dotata di poteri devastanti, che stanno causando fortissimi terremoti e irreversibili cambiamenti climatici. I draghi sono stati i primi a soffrirne, tuttavia adesso anche gli uomini temono il peggio. Ecco perché i sovrani dei regni di Balaia decidono di richiamare in servizio il Corvo, affidandogli una missione ben precisa: neutralizzare gli effetti collaterali della magia di Lyanna, a qualunque costo. Temendo che i mercenari vogliano uccidere lei e la figlia, Erienne fugge insieme con Lyanna, lasciando al Corvo una terribile scelta: darle la caccia come a un qualsiasi nemico, oppure tradire la fiducia dei governanti in nome della loro amicizia.

Oggi recensisco un romanzo che avevo nel cassetto da un bel po’ di tempo: La Notte del Corvo di James Barclay.
Forse non si tratta del migliore della serie dedicata all’unità mercenaria denominata appunto Il Corvo, ma anche questo scritto di Barclay si rivela a mio avviso molto ben fatto. Stiamo parlando di un fantasy classico, nel quale sono presenti elfi e maghi che lanciano palle di fuoco, nonché una suddivisione relativamente chiara fra buoni e cattivi, per intenderci. A queste caratteristiche più classiche l’autore però affianca elementi innovativi, come la crudezza delle scene e l’imprevedibilità. E’ proprio quest’ultimo elemento a permetterci di assistere alle vicende con la consapevolezza che, alle volte, ci possa scappare il morto, anche fra i paladini della giustizia e del bene e fra i protagonisti principali. In realtà questo romanzo è tutto incentrato su una scelta drammatica che i nostri eroi dovranno compiere, una scelta capace di mettere in difficoltà la razionalità del lettore stesso, data la mancanza di soluzioni “positive”.

It was a nail biter! A page turner packed full of action from cover to cover. And while swords were rarely sheathed, blood flew like water, and magic whizzed about, the story ran much deeper than just another action fairy-tale. It was such a sad and touching ending to the Chronicles of the Raven trilogy: Heartbreaking really.

But it’s not really over, not yet anyways. I can’t wait to hunker down with the next quadrilogy:Legends of the Raven, Yea!

I have to say it again: The one thing I love most about the Raven serial is character uniformity. From book one of the Chronicles of the Ravens and throughout the Legacy of the Ravens the characters stayed true. The author never falters in the personalities and distinctive qualities of each of the characters, whether they be the Raven mercenaries themselves or other important figures in the epic tale: no mater what the time was span between each book. A few authors could take a lesson in consistency from Barclay.

La terza puntata delle Cronache del Corvo ci riporta su Balaia, cinque anni dopo la fine dell'invasione degli Occadi.
Troviamo l'Ignoto di nuovo alla Colonia dei Corvi, sposato e papà affettuoso di un bimbo; Hirad al servizio dei suoi amati Kaan, ed Ilkar alle prese con la ricostruzione di Julatsa.
L'avvio della storia sono la fuga di Erienne con la figlioletta Lyanna, con l'inconsapevole dono dell'Unica Via e la ricostituzione del Corvo, per aiutare Denser a ritrovare e salvare moglie e figlia dalle minacce dei maghi di Dordover.
Meno spettacolare dei due precedenti capitoli, La notte del Corvo è comunque una piacevole e veloce lettura, che ripropone i vecchi personaggi con i loro pregi e difetti, senza approfondimenti e senza particolare coinvolgimento per il lettore.
Il titolo italiano La notte del Corvo è una libera traduzione dell'editrice Nord, dato che la notte del titolo originale si riferisce alla piccola Lyanna (Nightchild).

PS - Ancora non si sa se la Nord proporrà la traduzione della successiva trilogia con il Corvo...

A bit of a dissapointing one here compared to the last ones. The problem is that we never have a sense of WHY the child is important until almost right at the end. The whole way through her being alive is killing tens of thousands including many innocent children and sentencing others to starve to death or freeze but we are expected to side with the Raven who are trying to save her when the only choice seems to be to kill her.

Still, good action scenes, and nice work with the dragons. Really they should have been the focus of the story. The idea of them slowly weakening as Hirad tries to protect them from the hunters and the raven try to rescue them, and in the process find the mages, would be much better. The book could even have ended much the same, with the kid going crazy and the mages trying to save her and failing.

Well for any of you out there that read my review of the first book of this series I humbly apologize for my lack of brain cells. I started reading a series that comes way after and was written way after this series which is, I might add his first. I definitively came down hard saying this didn't seem like the same author and was despondent that his series varied so radically. I was viewing things wrong. Having finished this most excellent series I see a growing artist refine his art. And refining is done. Just in these three books there is a great change but it is all for the better.
I guess it's like seeing the first mickey mouse or Simpsons character drawn and comparing it with one from ten years later. Drastic.
So please try this series as well as his other great books he is well worth it.

Non qu'Ombremage soit un échec, mais le souffle d'Aubemort retombe peu à peu et on finit par s'habituer aux Ravens.
Comme pour les deux premiers tomes, il s'agit toujours à nos mercenaires de sauver le monde.
Aubemort avait été épique et rentre-dedans, Noirzénith tentait (avec plus ou moins de succès) de donner de la profondeur à l'univers et de théoriser la magie et la mécanique des plans dimensionnels. Quant à Ombremage ? Pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent.
Finissons sur une note positive : les scènes d'action sont toujours aussi trépidantes, les héros attachants, l'humour est au moins aussi présent que pour les tomes 1 et 2, et les aventures des Ravens restent ébouriffantes.
Un bon divertissement au final.
