A Raven's Shadow

The first book in the series (The Blood Song) was a remarkable work and hailed as a successor to Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind -- both books had a similar feel in tone, style, and plot. The Blood Song pretty much was everyone's favorite book for almost two years. Until the sequel came out in 2014 and disappointed everyone as much as the first book impressed. I won't go into why the second book was so bad, but needless to say, it wasn't a good read. There's still hope with his upcoming third book where Ryan can redeem himself and prove he's not a one hit wonder, so we'll see what happen then.In the meantime, do read the first book. It's awesome.
