DISAPPOINTING
Should have listened to reviews on #3
Read book 2 because book 1 was enjoyable. Book 3 because 2 was exciting. Book4???? Will wait for reviews.,
Blood and Blade was a major bore . Guess it was a diff writer? Main character confuses himself and reader. Ever have the wind knocked out of you? Did you JUMP UP right away and leave the field or lie there gasping for breath?
Here you immediately respond with sword and shield and kill the other guy!!! Right. More than once.
Plus 3 adds nothing to 1&2
Don't waste your time ,,,
Battles and Badasses !!
Love the battles .....Beobrand brings all the things to the book that I look for... courage, strength, love, leadership over all BA!
I stumbled on the series! Thank you Mathew Harffy !!!
great book !!!
What made the experience of listening to Blood and Blade the most enjoyable?
I read part of the book in book form and listened to part of it in audiobook form. This way I could read when I had time and could continue reading where I left off by listening in audio form. Since the audiobooks are unabridged, I would just pick up on the last chapter from either book or audio form.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved how the Beobrand character evolved from the youth that he started out in Book One of the series: The first 2 novels in the series were as enjoyable as this third book in the series.
Which scene was your favorite?
Close to the ending with the beautiful description of the snow surrounding the castle. Followed by, Beobrand's final battle with Torran Nathair in the "cloak size fighting space" surrounded by snow.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book absorbed my attention and could be so intense that I would not recommend driving while listening or even waiting for a bus because the bus might drive by while you become immersed in the story.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to Book 4 in the series due out by Summer 2017.
Couldn't put it down
I just love this whole series. Great author and awesome narrator. What else could you want?
Transports the reader to the 7th century
What did you love best about Blood and Blade?
Another great story by Matthew Harffy! If you have read the first two books in the Bernicia Chronicles, you already know that this one is going to be packed with action, perfectly described battle scenes, and the sort of bantering that only takes place between men who risk their lives together.
