A review by carolined
Jack of Ravens by Mark Chadbourn

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
I was disappointed not to enjoy this more, the description seemed right up my street but the writing was so clunky and the characters were so poorly described and the main character veered between unlikely omniscience (being able to understand a language he had only seen written down) and staggering stupidity ( being in the iron age and surprised a woman in her late teens was 'already pregnant').
