This is pretty much what I would term your standard high-fantasy fiction: high fantasy as opposed to, say, urban fantasy, as it involves Dragons (albeit only at the very beginning, and then more-or-less forgotten about), Elves and Magic amongst other genre staples.

The Raven of the sub-title ('Chronicles of the Raven', remember!) are a group of mercenaries who, at the beginning of the novel, have lived and fought together for years. At the end of one contract, they are hired by a former enemy, before events start overtaking them and they find themselves as amongst the last hope for their land, which is descending into war ...

I found this to be an OK read: not the best of such-like books I've ever read; nor the worst.

I always love rogues as well. The ability to sneak up on people and pickpocket/lockpick makes life so much easier in the fantasy world

This was always one of my favorites when I was a kid. If you're into the Warriors series and are looking for more fantasy books focused on cats, then this one is definitely for you.

One of the first non-YA fantasy themed books I've read in a while. Loved the writing style and completely lost myself in the realness of the story line and the characters lives. Highly recommend.
