Ученики Ворона #4
Черная весна
Не всегда возвращение домой может стать праздником, и в этом на собственном примере убедились ученики мага по имени 'Ворон'. После тягот минувшей войны они рассчитывали немного отдохнуть в солнечной Силистрии, в гостях у своего друга Гарольда Монброна, а вместо этого попали в очень и очень неприятную историю, из которой затруднительно будет выбраться живым. Да и не бывает по-другому, если на кону стоят золото и власть, принадлежащие одному из старейших и знатнейших семейств королевства. И теперь, хочешь, не хочешь, но как-то надо выпутываться из этой ситуации.

About the author
Andrey Vasilyev
61 books145 followersAt times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

This review is for the ebook version.
It should have been easy recuperation from the war in the previous book and more of an exploration of the friendship between Erast (the main character) and his best friend Harold Monbron. Instead, the students that accompanied them ended up embroiled in a caper involving swords with curses, the most calming stay in prison and enough intrigue to put some kings to shame.
This is not my favourite book in the series, but I do appreciate the author's view of the world he had created. It's yet another look at the different mages and how they practice their craft. Erast also discovers that whilst the likes of his master and other mages of his year are embroiled in long-standing feuds and conspiracies, some mages are only trying to get by in this world.
Erast also discovers the way many nobles live and whilst defending his friends is one thing, perhaps the simple life of a thief isn't that bad.

Опять размазанный вбоквел. Серия выродилась в нечто, чему не видно конца-края. А между тем, это уже четвёртый том.
Всё, с меня хватит такое читать.
