Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was thoroughly engaged by Blood and Bone, thanks in large part to John Banks' strong narration. His ability to convey the emotional depth of the characters, as well as the epic scope of the story, is impressive. One area where the production could improve is in the occasional awkward transition between scenes, which can be a bit jarring. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise compelling listen. The pacing is well-handled, with a good balance of action and quieter moments. My one criticism of the story itself is that some of the supporting characters feel a bit underdeveloped, but this doesn't detract from the overall impact of the narrative. Overall, fans of epic fantasy will find a lot to enjoy here.
