Explanation During Books Elfsorrow (Legends of the Raven #1)
Elfsorrow certainly had its own rhythm compared to the first three books, but fabulous nonetheless. Barclay’s elves totally rock, giving Tolkien’s elves a run for their money. Yeah, the elves were in and out of the previous novels, but here we get to see them in their full glory: Armed to the teeth and ready to kick some serious butt while fighting along side the Raven mercenaries. Most of the times unwillingly, but in the end, the elves see value in the Raven’s actions. (I can’t wait to read Barclay’s Elves series)
What a sad, sad, sad, ending. The title certainly lives up to it's name. I got teary eyed; one tear escaped and went rolling down my cheek. A little embarrassing considering I was in the waiting room of the dentist office at the time.
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, weather they be the Raven mercenaries themselves or other important figures in the epic tale: No mater what the time span between each book. A few authors could take a lesson in consistency from Barclay.

Genocide, political power hungry people at the top. Resonances of today's world.The potency of this tale is again Barclay's world drawn beautifully. The ideals of faith, courage and tenacity. His fight and battle scenes I'm in awe of.Actually, this book isn't that great. However, it's probably the closest book I've read comparable to a video game; a diverse band battling their way towards victory. However, when they put a 1 next to the title, that makes me think it's the first book in a series, instead of a new trilogy that continues an earlier series.
i would've given it a 4 if only the ending were a bit different. bi is not happy at all. >.<

c2002. Aaaahhhhhhh. Raven is a changing!!!
One of my all time favourites. I must say I was somewhat surprised by the authors decision on who lives and who dies in Elfsorrow, I actually cried at the end and declared I was done with the Raven. After a couple of days though I'm ready to move on to the next instalment. A must read for any fantasy fan.
