Ekim_Trub Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So, I sat down and read my copy this morning to pass a couple hours at work, and I must admit I have been left feeling a bit disappointed.Without ruining the story for anyone, I just found some of the character development a bit lacking and the climatic scenes of the book to be over way too quickly.I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but I just felt like it could of been better and for a £30 limited edition I would of liked it to be a bit longer.Anyone else feel this way?

SyNidus Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Anyone else have Ravenlord? Could we possibly get more reviews for the book? If it's worthwhile, i might order it actually.

Ekim_Trub Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I in no way regret buying it, and having read it a second time this morning, it is defo worth the buy imo. A couple of bits in it I wasn't that keen on, but hey I can only just write my name, so who am I to criticise? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291234-ravenlord/#findComment-3693310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm working through my own copy right now. I'll let you know after I've finished. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291234-ravenlord/#findComment-3693925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrieker Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Received mine today and... its a quick read.... I finished it 1h30 after :-/, wanting for more. High hopes when reading the name of 5 MorDeythans in the Dramatis Personae I liked it, but lets face it Gav Thorpe is not ADB or Dan Abnett. It does explore in more details a few areas (Shattered Legions, Raptors, Captain Noriz) and definitely gives the spotlight to Corax, but really is of little consequence to the plotline, and brings nothing fundamentally new. Not really something worth paying £50 on ebay in 3 months time. The characterization is a bit poor I found, both villains and the RG commanders are bland. Theres a few nuggets, particularly if you are eyeing 30k and a shattered legion force, this could be a good sourcebook.

Olis Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 For me, the novellas climax came as a damp squib. The details in the book are nice, for fluff-hounds like myself, but it doesn't feel like the book achieves anything. The antagonist is revealed late and leaves the stage in a somewhat disappointing manner. However, that said, there are a couple of new characters I liked. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291234-ravenlord/#findComment-3696207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_1138 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I gave up on these special editions after the white scar one, which was awful, Aurellian was fantastic and the non heresy raven guard one was really good too. Got Unremembered Empire to read on the train to sterling tomorrow though :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291234-ravenlord/#findComment-3716506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
