While that’s a talk for another time, the main takeaway is that with The Wolf’s Call, Vaelin Al Sorna returns as the lone point of view character, so those that weren’t keen on Blood Song‘s followups may indeed be interested in a return to the world. Fans of Raven’s Shadow series waver one way or the other, as fandoms do, as to whether or not the marked change in narrative structure bettered the story. In the sequels to Blood Song, The Tower Lord and Queen of Fire, Vaelin went from the one and only point of view character to but one of many, though in my eyes he was still the clear main character. When Ryan opted to expand the world beyond the Order, the the story he intended to tell required the expansion of point of view characters, a design choice which allowed readers to know what was going on other parts of the world while Vaelin wasn’t present in a natural way. With Blood Song, Anthony Ryan introduced readers to Vaelin Al Sorna and the brothers of the Sixth Order – and readers fell in love.
