Read from January 03 to 16, 2013
If you like Rothfuss or Sandersen you should know that
Anthony Ryan has similar qualities and talents and therefor i highly
recommend it to all of you!
Blood Song, certainly has it all: great coming of age tale, compelling character, and a fast-paced plot.You can find here all of the action, tragedy, love, and depth you want in a great fantasy novel.
It is a story of the main character growing and becoming a man of legend, it doesn't have the feeling of a repeating story told many times in the genre where a young boy with good heart becomes most powerful hero inn the realm and wins over all evil. The story was very mature and dealt with subject matter that makes the reader think. There are many well built, complex characters and the world building is fantastic.
This is definitely my first favorite book of year 2013!
Thank you Predrag for recommending it to me :)

Description from Goodreads:
by Anthony Ryan
An epic fantasy exploring themes of conflict, loyalty and religious faith. Vaelin Al Sorna, Brother of the Sixth Order, has been trained from childhood to fight and kill in service to the Faith. He has earned many names and almost as many scars, acquiring an ugly dog and a bad-tempered horse in the process. Ensnared in an unjust war by a king possessed of either madness or genius, Vaelin seeks to answer the question that will decide the fate of the Realm: …who is the one who waits?
Raven's Shadow is the first volume in a new epic fantasy of war, intrigue and tested faith.
