Story4.5 out of 5 stars 575
Galva—Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill—has defied her family’s wishes and joined the army’s untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.

Bordeaux, 1367. Having angered the bloodthirsty Don Pedro, King of Castile, Sir Thomas Blackstone is thoroughly sick of his mission for the Prince of Wales, but must remain true to his oath. But this is the Hundred Years' War, and tensions are rising once more. With the Prince of Wales deeply unpopular in his Aquitanian lands, Blackstone, King Edward's Master of War, must return to French soil to help stem the tide of support for the King of France.

Best-seller number five from Charlaine Harris' beloved Aurora Teagarden series places the amateur sleuth directly in harm's way. Detective Sergeant Jack Burns and Aurora never got along, and now Jack's dead body has been dropped from a plane directly into Aurora's back yard. Murder is personal this time for Aurora - but has she received a message, or a gruesome warning?

Good little mystery; odd choice in narration
Reviewed: 07-25-24
The story is good; the author is always consistent from book to book. I have an issue with the choice of narrator. While her narration is good and not terribly annoying, her accent of the main character is Midwest and not southern in the least. Southern accents are hard to get right, so I understand choosing good narration over a bad accent. However, somewhere between this book and the previous book, the narrator started t-glotting the name Martin. T-glotting like a youtuber is not a Southern convention. It is annoying. I should probably turn it into a drinking game to make it more tolerable.

Touching story with hedgehogs
Reviewed: 09-22-23
Good family road trip series with discourses on contemporary geopolitical concepts. Examples of both tolerance and intolerance of others' values, ideas, and opinions.

After his adventures in The Tower of Fools and Warriors of God, Reynevan is on the run again, harried by enemies—some human, and some mystical—at every turn. These are cruel and dangerous times for a man such as Reynevan, and to survive, he must set aside his history as a peaceful healer and idealist and play the brutal role of Hussite spy as crusades sweep through Silesia and the Czech Republic, and the world around him is forever changed.

Just can't make it through... Narration is tragic
Reviewed: 10-27-22
I have NOT finished the book. I tried. The narration is weird. She's usually a very good narrator... It may be the direction. I don't know. Reading in a choppy pan-slavic accent is disturbing and adds nothing to the flavor of the story.

Captain William Avery is persuaded to investigate, and soon discovers a web of rivalries and hatreds, both personal and political, simmering behind the club's handsome façade, and in particular concerning its resident genius, Alexis Soyer, "the Napoleon of food", a chef whose culinary brilliance is matched only by his talent for self-publicity. But Avery is distracted, for where is his mentor and partner-in-crime Jeremiah Blake? And what if this first death was only a dress rehearsal for something far more sinister?

Not just pandemic good but really compelling. The characters were likeable without being Mary Sues, the plot was interesting, the writing entertaining...I see the characters clearly and I would most heartily and greedily read more from this author.

The Dutchess is just too much. She reads like she's getting a pedicure. I've never heard the word "said" pronounced the way she does - I'm from the South and even I know that's way too many vowels.
