Mixes high fantasy with steampunk overtures beautifully
I've read almost everything I can of Jim Butcher, so any new series he brings out will be worthy my attention.
In this new series he introduces some truly fantastical elements which blend themes of pirates, airships, high fantasy and steampunk technology to a breathtaking world.
Easy to get into and hard to put down, it's a novel you'll want to read again and again.

High quality thriller. Well worth investing time into
You can see the style of Brian fuller instantly in this high consept tv fantasy thriller from the creator of the excellent Hannibal tv series. If you enjoyed Hannibal for the richness of its style and hard imagery then this will be your bag.
  
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.
