Carrion Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY. WORDS HAVE POWER.


A sheet of black filled his vision as hundreds of birds dived at the cottage, pointed beaks thrust forward. From this angle, he couldn’t see many of them striking it, but the few he did see held nothing back as they hammered into the shutter. The scale of the attack was beyond anything he’d seen or heard of. And bloodied casualties littered the ground: skulls shattered, wings broken, innards spilling from them. The fact that so many of them continued with the onslaught in spite of this filled him with even more dread.


Salin has always wanted an adventure and, when the opportunity presents itself, he grabs it with both hands, taking his friends along for the ride – whether they want to or not.

With strange lands come strange creatures that stand between them and their goal. And that goal is the same for someone else, a man who believes the prize is worth every sacrifice – especially when the sacrifices are made by others.

The future is about to change. But who for?

    Carrion is the second book I've read by Graeme Cumming and is quite a different read to his debut novel, Raven's Gathering. The book is written from a couple of perspectives, including Carrion, the evil sorcerer, Salin, the son of a retired member of the Order and his group of three friends as well as four members of the Order who are on an important journey.

    This book followed a more traditional fantasy story with its central theme of good versus evil and the main protagonist on a quest to save the world from an power hungry and ruthless sorcerer who has learned to use his power in the pursuit of self serving interest rather than for the benefit of mankind as they were intended. There is lots of intrigue with groups of birds who act as spies for the sorcerer as well as some well known and awe inspiring mythical creatures. The story of the journey reminded me of Frodo Baggin's journey through Mordor in the third Lord of the Rings book. The story is face paced and enjoyable and, although it wasn't particularly original for me, it is a good read.

    The character of Carrion is well described and his back story is provided which gives the reader insight into his past and the circumstances which have resulted in his horribly flawed psychic. The reader is quick to learn to despite and hate Carrion as is intended.

    Salin is a bit immature and impatient but he is assisted by more sensible and practical friends and the group is able to progress their quest. Salin's personality flaws, together with his loyalty and bravery, make him a believable character who the reader quickly becomes attached to. I enjoyed the female character, Willow, who always managed to keep the group focused and on track.

    All in this book is an excellent read which will not disappoint lovers of fantasy and thrilling adventures.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
    It was an amazing read. Mysterious, suspense, and adventures.. So much decision making and sacrifices It is a different type of reading I am use too but definitely a great book quite dark. This is my first time reading about this author and I look forward to his other books. I like the development of the story and the mysterious of it plus its sorcery.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Words have power!"

    I have to say that considering Carrion isn’t my usual kind of read I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Having read, and loved, Graeme Cumming’s previous book Ravens Gathering I was very much looking forward to reading Carrion. I was even more intrigued knowing that it was going to be so much different to Ravens Gathering. There are a couple of similarities though such as the birds which did their job of creeping me out in this book as much as they did in the last!
    How amazing is that cover by the way!!?
    I definitely think this book benefits from spending enough time completely immersing yourself in the story. I started it well then found myself not having as much time as I’d like to read it over the following few days, going to bed too late etc. which really frustrates me, but from about half way I found more time to read larger amounts, and I easily found myself completely captivated. It’s a wonderfully entertaining story to get yourself lost in and forget about the real world for a while.
    It is quite violent at times and certain parts make for uncomfortable reading, but these scenes just serve to highlight the evil nature of certain characters.
    There are some excellent characters throughout this story. Not all likeable, of course, but all quite fascinating and with fabulous names. I think Willow was my favourite character.
    The story moves along at quite some speed as it is so full of action. The danger Salin and his friends face in their quest is quite terrifying at times and there are some devastating losses along the way. Salin is a brave and intelligent soul.
    I was particularly disturbed by the sorcerer, the beast, and also the Troll. I have to say that I was most impressed when I found out what the beast really was. I honestly never twigged. Very clever writing!
    Time inevitably brings change and sometimes that change can be immense in such a short space of time, but everything evolves at the pace it is meant to and to interrupt evolution in any way could have a catastrophic effect. There are always going to be people in this world who thrive on power and do everything in their power to upset the natural order of the world. Maybe there is an ‘order’ who keep their eye on us and make sure we don’t interfere with our destiny. Who knows!? It certainly makes you think. I know this is fiction, but still….
    I loved that the message to Salin was to “Choose your words carefully. Words have power”. This is true on so many levels. In the case of Carrion these words have the power to transport you to another place and time where you can experience the action, adventure, suspense and intrigue of a story full of magic and mystery.
    I highly recommend.

    His first novel, Ravens Gathering, was a page turner with so many twists and turns you never knew what to expect. And just when you thought you had the plot, the next page changed everything. It was a great read. This second book, Carrion, is so different - it's dark and evil and cruel and I couldn't put it down. I was turning pages not wanting to know the horror that was coming but unable to stop. Another unanticipated ending.

    Every bit as entertaining and gripping as Graeme’s first novel, Ravens Gathering, Carrion will transport you to faraway lands, introducing you to friends, foes and unusual creatures along the way. There’s a delicious undercurrent of menace right from the first page and plenty of intrigue to keep you hooked to the very end.
