Blackwing: Ravens' Mark, cartea 1
Autor Ed McDonalden Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2017
Hope, reason, humanity: the Misery breaks them all. Under its cracked and wailing sky, the Misery is a vast and blighted expanse, the arcane remnant of a devastating war with the immortals known as the Deep Kings. The war ended nearly a century ago, and the enemy is kept at bay only by the existence of the Engine, a terrible weapon that protects the Misery's border. Across the corrupted no-man's-land teeming with twisted magic and malevolent wraiths, the Deep Kings and their armies bide their time. Watching. Waiting. Bounty hunter Ryhalt Galharrow has breathed Misery dust for twenty bitter years. When he's ordered to locate a masked noblewoman at a frontier outpost, he finds himself caught in the middle of an attack by the Deep Kings, one that signifies they may no longer fear the Engine. Only a formidable show of power from the very woman he is seeking, Lady Ezabeth Tanza, repels the assault. Ezabeth is a shadow from Galharrow's grim past, and together they stumble onto a web of conspiracy that threatens to end the fragile peace the Engine has provided. Galharrow is not ready for the truth about the blood he's spilled or the gods he's supposed to serve...

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Victor Tanasa a dat nota:
Ah yes, another case of "Why didn't I get the whole series from the start?", although I really appreciate that it has a proper ending, despite being the first of three books. Out of all the great bits you can find in this novel, the world building stands out for me, as it's very imaginative and feels fresh. Kinda post-apocalyptic, medieval, filled with sorcerers and wizards whose magic is not understood by the common folk. Plot's great too (no use spilling it out) and the main character, Captain Galharrow, is interesting to follow. Not the biggest fan of first person narration but works well enough here. 4.5*
Descriere
"A remarkably assured fantasy debut that mixes of the inventiveness of China Mi ville with the fast paced heroics of David Gemmell."--Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Legion of Flame
Set on a postapocalyptic frontier, Blackwing is a gritty fantasy debut about a man's desperate battle to survive his own dark destiny...
Hope, reason, humanity: the Misery breaks them all.
Under its cracked and wailing sky, the Misery is a vast and blighted expanse, the arcane remnant of a devastating war with the immortals known as the Deep Kings. The war ended nearly a century ago, and the enemy is kept at bay only by the existence of the Engine, a terrible weapon that protects the Misery's border. Across the corrupted no-man's-land teeming with twisted magic and malevolent wraiths, the Deep Kings and their armies bide their time. Watching. Waiting.

Guaranteed already, this will be one of the best books I will read this year.
A real fantastical page-turner.
Blackwing is a book that surprised me more than any other has so far this year. It's the debut of Ed McDonald and boy what a way to make an entrance.
Their story moves at an (ahem) spellbinding pace.
An impressive work of fantasy, and one I think we'll be hearing more about. Highly recommended.
Fabulously inventive and at times horrifyingly funny and action packed.
Ed McDonald is an author to watch out for. I don't say things like this lightly. I read a lot of fantasy, and I don't hesitate to say that this will be one of the biggest fantasy debuts of the year. McDonald has given us the first instalment of what looks to be a very interesting series.
A very impressive debut, with complex characters and an imaginative setting that does much to impress the reader.
Ed McDonald has taken something old and made it new... it's epic.
Overall, Blackwing is a fast paced novel that is likely to become a classic within the genre. It can be read as a self-contained story, but with a clear opening for the series to continue. This is the best debut novel in the genre this year. A joy to read.
A cracking read - hugely entertaining, brutal but with real heart too.
I heartily recommend this.
Freaking fantastic!
Blackwing is one of the greatest fantasy books I've read in my life. Perfect in every possible way. Ed McDonald is on a par with Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson. Cast aside whatever you're reading and start Blackwing instead.
This is dark, gritty fantasy, and it's been executed perfectly.
If you like fantasy at all, then you simply must read Blackwing.
Vivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I really should have seen coming and didn't (wizards are bastards and here's the proof). Brilliant use of magic as technology, too, like lightbulbs and water heaters. Excellent gender representation . . . Suffice to say, I bloody loved it and I am officially an Ed McDonald fan. He deserves to go far.
I was completely hooked. It was viscerally real and the adventure kept coming.
A new author who, in my opinion, with this one book is going to blast onto the fantasy scene and prove that there is new talent out there.
A thoroughly engrossing read, I could barely put it down, I loved it and I want more.
The reader takes an action-filled rampage through defense to attack, from injury to sorcery, faith to naivety and reality in what truly is a phenomenal start to a unique new series.
Gritty and immersive, Blackwing is a hugely enjoyable tale
Blackwing walks the line between post-apocalyptic fiction and fantasy, but still manages to inject a sense of wonder amongst all the grit. I hope Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch aren't resting on their laurels because there's a new blade in town
