About this listen

'Eames once again hits the perfect balance of humour and heart, irreverent references and real emotion' Django Wexler

Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown.

When the biggest mercenary band of all rolls into town, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants-and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death.

yes I enjoyed it..but not sure i would recommend it...the story seemed to drag no where for most of the book...in the end it all led somewhere but the whole time i was wondering what was going on...they toured...then toured some more...then did more touring...then stopped touring...the humour was brilliant and i loved most of the characters..cried like a baby when Gabe was killed...Katherine's narration was spot on...but on a whole this second book doesn't even come close to the brilliance of the first book.

not a great second book

I can only assume a fair amount of the negativity I see is related to the change of cast and narrator. In my honost opinion the book has all the same things that made Kings of the Wyld great with the same wit, refrencial nature, writing quality and character interations. While Clay Cooper remains my favorite character from the series so far and I did miss Saga at times, Rose, Tam and the rest of Fable are strong characters in their own right and more than worthy successors for me.

Just as good as Kings of the Wyld

After listening to Kings of the Wyld with its fantastic narration by Jeff Harding and then the reviews of Bloody Rose I was sceptical to purchase but I was more than pleasantly surprised! The key to enjoyment is to take it as a completely separate story with some added bonuses of characters you have met before popping up like old friends. Again Nicholas Eames has shaped words into beautiful art as if he were a bard himself. Narration was great, Katherine Fenton did a great job and was a good listening speed. One very small critique which seems to happen a lot with changes in narrators is the altered pronunciation of names which is distracting to the story. Admittedly only a few of these came up and I got used to them reasonably quickly.

Enjoyed narration, good story.
