Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Raven of Destiny for White Dwarf #59, and stated that "Oh, the book isn't particularly awful, just sort of ... routine."[1]

Colin Greenland reviewed Raven of Destiny for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Tremayne writes serviceable prose, with no great imagination, but a steady sense of the kind of principles and pride that would have driven a man like Bran Mac Morgor, Women don't gel such a sympathetic deal, however, despite the presence of Berlewen, an ace charioteer; Tremayne tends to describe them as 'perfectly-proportioned' and that's their lot."[2]
