Like Soulkeeper, I found Raven Caller to be absolutely delightful, if not a bit heartbreaking. The interwoven plots, the constant questioning of motivations on all sides, all add to a storyline I want to absorb as fast as possible. 
100% already jumping into Voidbringer

An excellent grimdark fantasy, gripping and entertaining.
The world building is amazing, the cast of characters well developed and entertaining.
The plot is well told and it kept me hooked till the end.
It was an exciting read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

CAWPILE rating: 7/10
STAR rating: ★★★★

REVIEW: Trying to rate this has been a little bit difficult. Overall, I enjoyed the book quite a lot but there are certain characters and plotlines that I don't care for at all. Nevertheless, I'll be picking up Voidbreaker asap.

Rating might change after I've thought about it some more

🦉Review of Ravencaller by David Dalglish🦉
This is the second book in the Keepers trilogy and wow does it pack a punch.This author has one hell of a talent for putting the reader through emotional conflict. It's filled with compelling characters, really interesting world building and of course the Gods have their part to play and I will never get tired of this trope.

The old world has awoken and the dragon kin have returned to reclaim what was theirs. Some of these magical beings are willing to negotiate peacefully with humans, others want to annihilate them. And honestly, I found myself more on the dragon kin's side alot of the time!  I could cheer for the individual characters but I had little sympathy for humans as a collective. It made for an interesting tension to the story. 

The author also creates such distinct characters. All are different and all go on such interesting journeys. Adria, the M.C's sister has one of the most riveting storylines. She's not my favourite character, but wow is she fascinating to follow. For Devin, Adria and the others, they are caught up in events so much larger than themselves, and they are just trying their best. 

One of my favourite things about this series is the magic. There are different kinds thanks to the various beings awakening, but focus is on soul magic, and I've always had a fascination with any type of magic to do with the soul or death. I really like where the author takes this and I'm curious at how he will expand this in the final installment. I can already tell it's going to be a wild ride.
