Über diesen Titel
The growing power in Sable’s words nearly changed the world. Until she was betrayed and silenced.
A year ago, on the land’s biggest stage, Sable’s voice nearly burned down the carefully constructed lies of the Kalesh Empire. Now, Sable’s skills are merely tools in High Prioress Vivaine’s desperate negotiations with the new Kalesh ambassador, who’s denounced Sable as a zabat. A rebel. A firestarter.
Sable would love nothing more than to burn down the empire. But with threats against her sisters looming, the acting troupe driven away, and no news of Reese for a year, she’s too chained and alone to even light a spark.
Meanwhile, the empire grows on the south like a disease and stretches its poisoned fingers even into the northern lands. Desperate to fight, Sable sends details about the Kalesh to the one ember of hope kindling in the north: a small, mysterious band of rebels. Vivaine hates the rebellion, though, and her spies have discovered their location - and that Sable is more deeply connected to them than she knows. Unless Sable turns her back on the rebellion and pledges loyalty to Vivaine, the prioress will reveal the rebel camp to the Kalesh.
But Vivaine should not be so rash, because the power of Sable’s voice is stirring again, the old coals being stoked into flames. And she’s ready to embrace the title of zabat.
The Keeper Origins trilogy and the Keeper Chronicles trilogy can be listened to in any order. They take place in the same world but are stand-alone books.

Epic Sequel
10 stars! What do you mean, I can't give 10 stars? *grumbles*
Ok, ok... So I shall go with a nice round 5, as this book directly jumped onto my shelf of all-time favourites. It is at least as good as book one, if not even better! I was hooked body and soul, and wanted to decapitate everyone and everything that kept me away from the story. No wonder I devoured it in just 3 days. Luckily no one was hurt!
First off:
If you can, I'd recommend to read "The Ghost of the White Wood" between Dragon's Reach and this. You definitely do not need it to understand Raven's Ruin, but you'll have a few nice "aha!" moments along the way, as that book is mentioned in Raven's Ruin.
So, to Raven's Ruin itself:
I love the prose, the characters, the voice, the plot, the world, the magic, ...
This starts of with a smallish scope, concentrating on Sable and her new life at the Dragon Priory. throughout the story the world and the stakes keep ever increasing, until the fate of the whole country hangs on a few thin threads, and the suspense is all the way up.
I love the mix of Sable's own personal struggles, her trying to fight for freedom, while choosing between her own fate, that of the country and those of her loved ones. It gives so much more depth to the story, and I confess this story had me fetch the emotional comfort chocolate at times.
Andrew's masterfully manages to write a story without explicit gore or violence, but still with high stakes, loss, death, despair and always a dash of hope.
The friendships and bonds between the characters are of the major strengths in The Keeper Origins, and they only grew and evolve throughout the series. I dearly wish there was more books with a focus on friendships rather than only romance.
And for the romance part - if you follow my reviews, you know that I usually don't like most romance in my fantasy books. There is a romance in Raven's Ruin, but it doesn't take center stage and isn't at all the focus of the plot. It is a natural part of character progression, and felt like a smooth and natural part of the story. I actually quite enjoyed it - and if that isn't one of the highest compliments I can give, I don't know what is!
