Product Description

Review

"As always, there are desperate rear-guard actions, extreme violence and cliff-hanger risk taking that makes Indiana Jones look like a cringing couch potato. Dialogue and banter are realistically snappy throughout. Barclay delivers the goods. Rousing stuff." 4/5 (David Langford SFX )

"Bowling along at a brisk pace, Ravensoul's plot is standard gamer fare with a neat SF twist. It's a tribute to the clarity of Barclay's writing that we never lose track of what's happening. His affection for his characters and empathy for his readers shine though every page. A cleverly crafted meditation on what happens to old heroes. A clever, middle-age enjoyable day dream." (DEATHRAY )

Interesting ending. 24 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
James Barclay managed to pull off an amazing and somewhat unexpected ending to the Raven series with Demonstorm, managing to round off the Raven's adventures with a final, desperate fight to save the people of Balaia and Calaius from destruction at the hands [or claws/tentacles etc] of the Arakhe, which could easily be the worst enemy they have had to fight throughout the series.

Without giving too much of the plot of Ravensoul away, Barclay has managed to bring in an even fiercer enemy than the Arakhe. One that even the dead have reason to fear. He has managed to pull off another amazing Raven plotline and as has been said in other reviews, it's not just the lovable, loud mouthed barbarian back for a visit. Ravensoul gives an even better ending to the Raven, though the last few pages seem a little too rushed.

All in all, this is still an amazing read. If you've read the rest of the Raven books, it's a must. If you haven't read the books, then I recommend that you do so. Immediately. :)

It was nice to see the Raven operate again and James again creates wonderful archetypal characters.
This is probably the worst Raven book but if you have read the others this is worth a read just to see them work together again.
Some very thin plot lines that are even less credible than previous encounters but still some very good action scenes.
Summary: worth a read if you're a Raven fan.

Have read all of the raven books now,and I can honestly say this isn't the best of them,but is a fitting send off for the Raven.At times the story felt rushed,but then at other times I felt as if I wanted to skip a page as I was just treading over old ground! Besides that,it was still a good read,and one that I just couldn't put down as like the other raven books before it id become totally immersed in the story,and the camarderie of the characters.James Barclay has done a great job of this series,altough it was good too see some closure on these characters,with a fitting ending at the last.Overall id give this book a 4 out of 5.
