The Tower of Ravens: Book One of Rhiannon's Ride Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
One-Horn’s daughter is not like the others of her kind. Born of a human father, she lacks the horns so prized by her people and is scorned even by her own mother. Her only chance for escape is to capture one of the legendary flying horses and ride it to freedom.
 
So this strange, feral girl begins a dangerous journey of love, death, and betrayal that will earn her a new name: Rhiannon, the rider no one can catch.
 
Rescued and taken to the home of Lewen, a young man just beginning to understand his own magical potential, Rhiannon is fascinated by the human world and by Lewen. Together they travel through a land where the dead walk and ghosts haunt the living, a place where Rhiannon encounters dark forces that endanger all of Eileanan. But to save the land, she must convince Lewen and the other apprentice-witches to trust the word of a wild half-human girl.

I find it a little drama heavy but still quite interesting. Kate Forsyth is very inventive in her writing creating an elaborate but fairly cohesive phantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new saga from Eileanan
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2007
Verified Purchase
The Tower of Ravens is a wonderful continuance of The Witches of Eileanan. This gives Forsyth's wonderfully complex characters in her first series some relief to grow up in relative peace. This new trilogy is based in the next generation of Witches, some fifteen years after the end of The Witches of Eileanan saga. This Trilogy stands alone; however, I seriously recommend reading The Witches of Eileanan series first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful follow up to Witches of Eileanan
Reviewed in Australia on June 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
Following on from the events in the Witches of Eileanan series, this series focuses on the next generation and the challenges faced by them at a new point of political and magical unrest.

Kate is a brilliant author, transporting her readers to a world of truth, beauty and magic and making it all seem as real as our own dull (by comparison) world.

Great characters in a great world. For fans of the Witches of Eileanan it's a great opportunity to come back to the world, or for people who haven't read the series (like me the first time I read this) it is a wonderful introduction. An excellent book.

This book was wonderful. I'm a fan of the witches of eileanan series (I consider it the best series I have ever read) and decided to give this one a go. It has a darker more eerie theme to it which was very interesting and unexpected compared to the witches series. Can't wait to read the next part! Highly recomend to anyone who loves fantasy.
