Ebook About In this “deftly and originally executed” (Booklist) New York Times bestselling novel, Vaelin Al Sorna must help his Queen reclaim her Realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered… “The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe or murder committed at the behest of a dark vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task.” After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant—those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark—and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail—a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent… ***Don't miss the continuation of this epic saga: The Wolf's Call, A Raven's Blade Novel available July 23, 2019***Book Queen of Fire (A Raven's Shadow Novel Book 3) Review :
I rarely post reviews, so I don't know the etiquette regarding potential spoilers. So, if anyone actually reads this, proceed at your own peril!I was very disappointed in Queen of Fire. Blood Song was a very good story, centered around a very compelling character in Vaelin. We met him as a young child and accompanied him as he grew to adulthood. We watched him learn of his gift and saw his awareness and control over it steadily evolve even into the second book, Tower Lord.After a book and a half spent developing the power and scope of Vaelin's gift, can I be blamed for thinking the author was building it up for some major plot purpose? But, no, instead we read how Vaelin essentially burned out his gift by over-using it in one battle. Even then, his use of it didn't seem to have very major impact -- he pretty much used it to break an opening through a battle line and then, with the aid of several thousand warriors, he fought to the center of the city to rescue his "sister" Reva. Kind of neat, I guess, but other characters throughout the second and third books seemed able to do as well without any gift at all. Reva, Frentis, Davoka, Rensial -- all seemed invincible in fighting no matter the odds. Same as Vaelin.But Vaelin's gift was so essential a component of the first two books, I felt certain he would regain his powers in the final book. I kept waiting for one of the mystical people he met along the way, in particular the shaman Wise Bear, to restore his gift. Never happens. Much is made over Vaelin being the Raven's Shadow of ancient prophecy, come to save the Wolf people of the Ice. But what does he do for them? Arrange battle lines and not much more. Vaelin becomes an afterthought to the plot in the third book, even showing up late to rescue Reva the second time around.There are plenty of other plot holes, some hastily patched and some not, in an effort to wrap up the story. In sum, a trilogy that started with a bang ended with a whimper. I haven't been this disappointed in how a promising first book fizzled into drivel since reading Terry Goodkind's "Wizard's First Rule" series (the only book series to date that I sincerely regret finishing). I ended up being disappointed by this book. I didn’t hate it, and overall, the book was more tolerable than parts of book 2 (Tower Lord, and I’m thinking specifically of the first half of that book). But it was kind of repetitive and it was lacking a lot of what made me really like book 1 (Blood Song).Note: some spoilers for Blood Song and Tower Lord may appear later in this review. It is hard to talk about what I didn’t care for in this book without making reference to certain previous events. I’ll try to be as vague as possible. Also, I’ll take this opportunity to suggest not reading this book without having read the other two first. There is just too much that won’t make sense. (On the other hand, if you do read books 1 and 2 first, you shouldn’t have much trouble following along here.)Once again, we have 4 (maybe 5) viewpoint characters: Queen Lyrna, Reva of Cumbrael (a noble who has inherited the governance of this land), Frentis (who still considers himself a brother of the Sixth Order, which is a military arm of a religious group), and Vaelin, who hands over command of Lyrna’s army so that he can go on a separate mission. (I say maybe 5 because we also have some scenes from historian Vernier.)This is the story of Lyrna’s invasion of the Volarian Empire. In previous books, the Volarians had invaded Lyrna’s Unified Realm, killed and enslaved many people, and committed many other atrocities. She wants to take the fight to them so they cannot threaten her people again. I was never quite comfortable with this goal of hers. I think maybe that was the point, though. At one point, she has to stop herself from going after even more territory. She has to remind herself of her goal in the military campaign. Not all of the allies she’s recruited stay with her, either. And she suffers some pretty devastating losses, not once but several times. You want her to win because her side doesn’t keep slaves, torture and murder people, do things to unnaturally extend the lives of the nobles, etc. But I never really *liked* her.Frentis ends up leading a slave revolt in the Volarian Empire. His story is pretty much a repeated series of episodes involving: defeating some overseers, freeing their slaves, watching the slaves torture and mutilate the overseers, training the freed slaves to fight, and moving on to the next town. He keeps having dreams involving the Volarian Empress and I found these really irritating. (So did he, apparently, as he keept taking a sleeping potion to push the dreams away…) His chapters in this book were a lot like his chapters in the second half of book 2.Reva goes on Lyrna’s invasion trip and gets captured. She’s made to fight in an arena. Of course she always wins. (I think the viewpoint characters are meant to be telling their stories to Verniers later, so we assume they live through the war to tell their stories in the first place.) Her main issue is that she feels guilty for lying to her people, telling them she heard the voice of their god commanding them to join the invasion. But this never really comes back to get her.Vaelin heads into tribal lands looking for a person he met in book 1. I won’t reveal too much of his quest because it involves a plan to defeat the Ally (the super villain controlling the Volarians). He learns some about the Ally’s background. He spends a lot of time recruiting tribespeople to fight the Volarians also.Anyway, we alternate chapters and I just kept feeling like I was reading the same things over and over again. This was less true for Vaelin than the others.Other things that kind of irritated me: Frentis and Verniers both are arrested and imprisoned (in separate incidents). Then they get to leave under similar circumstances.Resources are never an issue. There’s lots of gold and there are willing suppliers of food, ships, etc., for payment. Even after devastating battles, there seem to be tens of thousands of soldiers still available for our good guys to call on.At one point, the Volarians create a new type of soldier. They wear red (so we, as readers, can immediately identify them) and they delight in killing. They are, of course, super-talented fighters. I swear, we have to go through nearly every group of characters fighting all kinds of these people. Where no one could defeat them before, our protagonists always save the day (with losses, of course).The Volarians and the Ally are just too evil. Too much bloodlust, too much hate, no redeeming qualities. I like my bad guys to be more complex. These guys are pretty one-dimensional. On top of that, the Volarian Empress is basically crazy. Crazy antagonists are irritating to me because there’s no strategy involved, it’s more of an excuse for them to do whatever they want.As for character development, the protagonists basically didn’t develop in this book, just like they didn’t in the last book. (Gone was the great development from book 1.) I also had trouble remembering a lot of the side characters by their names alone. There were so many units and commanders that I just couldn’t keep them all straight. (A lot of them had similar names, usually just referred to by a first name or possibly a last name, so I would have trouble with, say, characters all having names starting with “I” or “A.” It was rather like all the minor characters in the Wheel of Time books; I had trouble keeping many of them straight as well.)A few comments on the series title. This is called the “Raven’s Shadow” trilogy but that concept doesn’t even come up in much detail until near the middle of this, the third book. It seems an insignificant detail to give the whole series its name. (Maybe I am just biased against prophecy-driven stories, though.)There were a few things I liked. The prose was pretty good. The pace was pretty good. I didn’t mind the cliffhangers at the ends of a lot of chapters, because it made me interested enough to keep reading so I could find out what happened. Although I wasn’t fond of the execution of the part involving Vaelin and the Ally at the end, I think the concept and strategy were interesting. There were some deaths but not viewpoint character deaths (for reasons discussed above). Many of these deaths *were* sad. And no one left the battle unscarred in any way – some scars were emotional and some physical. But I would not say this book had a happy ending. (Actually, the ending was a bit anti-climactic because it seemed short and easy after all the hardships encountered on the way to the Volarian capital.)I think this could have been a much better book with some editing. I didn’t hate it (read it rather quickly, actually). But it didn’t live up to my expectations, which were set after Blood Song.
