It starts at the end and then goes back in time to inform the reader how he got to the point he is at. I also liked that the story that Vaelin told Vernier wasn’t the whole story while the reader is told everything, you get a little bit of the unreliable narrator trope in universe, which I do enjoy, but the reader is privy to the complete tale. I liked the format and the way the tale was told, starting each part with Vernier and his interactions with Vaelin telling his story in first person from Vernier’s point of view and then switching to the third person to tell Vaelin’s story. I found Blood Song to be a very enjoyable read. Yet as the world teeters on the edge of chaos, Vaelin will learn that the truth can cut deeper than any sword. Vaelin must draw upon the very essence of his strength and cunning if he is to survive the coming conflict. Under their brutal training regime, he learns how to forge a blade, survive the wilds and kill a man quickly and quietly – all in the name of protecting the Realm and the Faith.
Vaelin Al Sorna is the Sixth Order’s newest recruit. The Order fights, but often it fights in shadow, without glory or reward. Summary: We have fought battles that left more than a hundred corpses on the ground and not a word of it has ever been set down. I’m not sure where I am going to stand on the rest of the series, or if I will even read them, but I will agree that Blood Song was a very enjoyable book to read. People seem to like book one and then either hate or love the other two books in the series. The Raven’s Shadow Trilogy is a series that I have heard very mixed things about.
