The plot was good, the characters were good, and the author is wonderful at descriptions.

Sadly, however, it drags on far too much, concentrating on particularly uninteresting things within the dialogue like how everyone is faring at court, and histories involving too many long names. The dialogue is by far the author's weakest point. The characters are nearly all inconsistent or flat, which doesn't help either.

The book begins great, gets boring after Nina and her troupe arrive, gets interesting again as they head off into ghost country, and thereafter shakily spends far too much time on a plot point which makes no sense. At all. Basically, they are trapped by an evil lord who wants to kill everyone, and can do almost nothing about it. Way later, after their escape, Nina puts everyone in the castle to sleep.

I was also occasionally driven mad by the way Rhiannon seems to forget about how her horse can fly at points when it would really matter. The reason seems to be that the plot would be cut short and become uninteresting if she flew. Even when she does get the sense to fly over the castle gates at the end, instead of just OPENING THEM, she goes on this dangerous, secretive rescue mission.

Speaking of which and furthermore, Rhiannon COULD have been awesome. I liked her a lot as it was. But her character was the most inconsistent of all. By the end of the story she had nearly dropped her wild, vicious personality entirely for a cheeky, adventurous one. She got her ass kicked and got sick all the time. It didn't seem fair to me, considering her upbringing. And how did she learn the entire rest of the human language so fast? Within the first 100 pages, she's struggling to comprehend half of what's said; by the end, she understands pretty much everything perfectly. And learned perfect grammar to boot. ALL of this within a trip that couldn't have lasted more than a few months.

Grr! I loved the grim and bold linings of this book. I liked Lewen, and his romance with Rhiannon, despite him being endlessly the predictable nice guy, and though it was a little unbelievably paced.
The world created brimmed with old mythology, faeries and monsters and magic. Satyricorns to a comfy Celtic to cottage to a journey across undead lands and through an evil lord's castle, and finally to a trial at a school of magic...sounds great! But why did she have to linger half the book in that stupid castle? It made for a good horror scene but it certainly shouldn't have been made to carry the weight of the whole novel. I am so annoyed, because...it could have been so great! I wanted to say that the author is just starting out, and she'll improve with each installment. But though I enjoyed this one overall, I doubt I'll pick up the second; I saw that she's already written like five books. Well, get it together, missie!(less)

More often than not, stories in a series get you hooked into its magical world, then leave you hanging as you breathlessly await the next installment. Not so with Kate Forsyth's THE TOWER OF THE RAVENS. For those who have never visited her world of Eileanan in books such as THE POOL OF TWO MOONS or THE CURSED TOWERS, never fear! THE TOWER OF THE RAVENS is a fantasy epic that can definitely stand alone, and does so with competent writing, fantastic world-building, and a deeply heroic cast of characters.

Ever since she was a young girl, Rhiannon has wanted nothing more than to catch a winged horse, to tame and train it so that she could fly away and escape from the hellish nightmare that is her life. Scorned, ridiculed, and even feared by her fellow man, Rhiannon lives in near solitude, wanting only to belong. Without even a name at this young age, the daughter of One-Horn and a human father. One-Horn is the mother of the tribe of satyricon, fairies who have horns and hoofs instead of feet. Rhiannon, born without a horn and with human feet, is immediately branded an outcast, and she lives her solitary life with only the hope of escape as comfort.

When she finally manages to escape upon a winged horse, its not without injury and risk to herself. Arriving at the home of Lewen, an apprentice witch, she's finally given a name-and perhaps a chance to truly belong. When Lewen and his family decide to bring Rhiannon to the Tower of Two Moons in the city of Lucescere to be tested for magical ability, Rhiannon worries that she might once again lose any sense of self she's just beginning to gain.

Murder, intrigue, and suspicion soon surround Rhiannon when a member of the Guard is found dead. Suddenly surrounded by unimaginable evil and malevolence, it will take all the strength and magic that Rhiannon possesses to protect herself and those she loves.

THE TOWER OF RAVENS is a wonderful fantasy novel that will thoroughly immerse you in Kate Forsyth's magical world. A woman who wants only to find her place in the world, Rhiannon is a strong, caring woman who truly overcomes her past to be a woman that everyone can be proud of. (less)

The characters from that first series are older and largely in the background here, with the spotlight going to Rhiannon.

A satyricorn girl who didn't grow her horns, Rhiannon escapes her herd by taming a winged horse, but not before she is forced to kill a man. She falls in with some travelling witch-apprentices on their way to the Theurgia, the witch school, in the capital Lucescere. The body of the dead man is found in the river when they pass through a town, and soon enough she is found out.

To get to the capital quicker, with the news that the Righ's messenger, Connor, is dead and to deliver his killer, Rhiannon, they take a short-cut which brings them to the Tower of Ravens. There Rhiannon and Lewen, a student at the Theurgia, discover that the Lord of Fettercairn is a necromancer, and has killed dozens while learning how to resurrect his dead brother, a crazy sorceress called Margrit of Arran, and his nephew.

Several plots interweave and then, at the end of The Heart of Stars (the third book), untangle into one, more or less. Rhiannon is an engaging protagonist, unrefined, frank and passionate, and the books move along at a steady pace. There are many magical creatures, most of them refreshingly original, or new takes on more traditional ones. Elves become three-eyed Celestines, there are Fairgeans (creatures of the water), bogfaeries, skeelies, winged princes, flying horses, beast whisperers, witches, sorcerers and ensorsellors (that's a hard word to spell and even harder to pronounce!), but it never for an instant seems contrived or overcrowded, perhaps because each character and their race, species, abilities and quirks, are taken in stride and never puzzled over. It's certainly a rich tapestry.

I would like to read the first series, but I find it hard when I know, now, how it ended, and which characters later died. It's too sad to go over again. But I will look out for her next book.(less)

I really loved the beginning of this book. Rihannon was forceful and fidgety but strong and magical in her way. Her loyalty is fierce and her need for freedom wonderful. I loved the parts with her and Blackthorn and how they bond. Even travelling with the witches was fun for a bit until we entered a world with intrigue and courtly ways. Her crush on Lewen was even cute and then it just became not fun. I don't want to spoil it because it was great with ghosts and evil people she could stop but lo...more

This book is the first book in her latest series; Rhiannon's Ride. Rhiannon's Ride is a trilogy. Overall this was an excellent and very solid fantasy. For me it fell somewhere between and epic type of fantasy and an adventure fantasy. The first book is more of an adventure fantasy.

This book starts out with No-Horn a half-satrycorn girl who is in danger on being killed by the satrycorn tribe because she has not yet grown a horn. No-Horn manages to kill a prisoner and steal his goods; she captures a black-winged horse and flees the tribe. She ends up in the forest near Lewen's parents' land. Lewen finds her tied to the horse and helps to heal her. Lewen and family decide to name her Rhiannon. The remainder of the book deals with their adventures on their way to the Shining City of Lucescere.

This was a great book. There was a lot of action, the plot is complex and deep. The world is magnificent and is developed to great detail. There are a number of different races of creatures and there is a very complex history behind the story. I am guessing that some of the history and backstory were developed in the Witches of Eileanan series. Rhiannon and Lewen are wonderful characters who come across as believable both in the heroism and their humanity. The supporting characters are also rich with personality and history. Reading this book really made me want to go back to the first series and read more about all the fascinating characters in the background.

That being said, I found this to be a stand alone series. Although I am guessing you might understand the motives of some of the supporting characters better if you knew their history from the first series. That being said this is *not* a stand alone book. The first book stops basically mid journey. I was extremely greatful that I had purchased the next book in the series already.

This really is one of the best straight fantasy novels I have read in some time. There is action, adventure, intrigue, true love, and magic. The intricies of all of the customs of the different races are fascinating but never overbearing.

In summary a wonderful read. My only complaint would be that the book does not wrap anything up before it's conclusion. I would recommend buying all three books if you opt to read the first one; otherwise you will be fretting about what is going to happen to Rhiannon while you wait to get the next book. I can't imagine reading the first book and not reading the second and third one. This book made me want to go out and get all of the books in the Witches of Eileanan series too! (less)

I haven't read any of Kate Forsyth's long running Witches of Eileanan series, and this trilogy of books is set sometime after the events in that series. It doesn't really hinder a new reader, but there's clearly a lot of backstory and history for some of the characters which is brushed over (or awkwardly articulated in little mental monologues).

In that time, peace has reined under the rule of Lachlan the Winged, the witches are slowly rebuilding their towers and schools, and both witches and Faerie are finding acceptance amongst the populace, who had once participated in the witch-hunts that had decimated their kind.

The Tower of Ravens begins high in the mountain ranges that are home to some of the wilder faerie and to Rhiannon, the half-human daughter of the satyricorn, One-Horn. Born with human features, Rhiannon is an outcast in the herd and living on borrowed time. If she fails to grow the horns that mark her a satyricorn proper, her life is forfeit to the Hunt. As time runs out, Rhiannon becomes desperate to find a way to escape. Taking the clothing of a dead Yeoman, a victim she had tried to help escape the herd's clutches, she attempts what only human Horse lairds have done in the past and tames a Winged Horse. So begins Rhiannon's ride.

In a wild flight, Rhiannon and her winged stead leave the peaks of the Dubslain and crash-land in Kingarth, home of the Treeshifter Lilanthe, her husband Niall the Bear and their children. Thrown amongst the vastly different culture of humankind, Rhiannon struggles to accept the assistance that is offered to her from strangers who want nothing in return.

With Lewen, Lilanthe's son, Rhiannon joins a travelling group of apprentice-witches, led by Nina the Nightingale and heads for Lucescere, with a letter of introduction to Isabeau, the legendary Keybearer of the Coven and an obligation to explain to the Righ the death of his Yeoman. Needing to reach the capital quickly, Nina and her husband, Iven Yellowbeard, decide to risk cutting cross-country and passing under the shadow of the haunted Tower of Ravens. But it is here that dead walk the land and the band of witches faces grave danger as they come across a circle of necromancers. In a battle of pride and confusion, brought on by the newly experienced emotions of friendship and love, Rhiannon fights to gain the trust of her companions, as the dark forces that stalk them grow in strength and a member of their party goes missing.

Kate has delivered another enthralling instalment of magic and adventure in the world she brought to life with Celtic myth and legend in the Witches of Eileanan. With humour and deft hand, she convincingly draws a variety of characters whose similarities and differences suggest a writer of consummate skill who still knows how to have fun. In Rhiannon she has created a strong, believable heroine and an intriguing character to write a story around. I really enjoyed this tale. It's a light, easy read and I fairly flew threw it, such is Kate's ability to catch her audience.(less)

Ok so I haven't finished it yet, I really wasn't expecting anything good since I found it at the dollar store.

This book is a reason why I try to stay away from hardcore fantasy; lots of long complicated names, no map of the magical land to follow (only bleak descriptions) and bits of history thrown in that don't make any sense in the current context.

I feel like the author does a good job in the beginning in introducing the area and characters slowly so you can keep up. But after a few chapters...more

After sitting on my shelf for many years, I finally got around to reading this book and am annoyed with myself for waiting so long, as the rest of the trilogy is no longer a quick bookstore or library trip away. While many of the plots twists and turns weren't entirely novel storytelling, I enjoyed the characters immensely and found myself so immersed in the language that I started thinking in "dinnas" and "kens" long before I finished.

This trilogy jumps about 25 years into the future, if I read it correctly. Really good, really enjoyable.
