David McK (3600 KP) rated Blood of the Bear (Fire Born volume 5) in Books
Oct 18, 2024 (Updated Oct 18, 2024)
This is the final(?) entry in Angus Donald's 'Fire Born' series about the Viking berserker Bjarki Bloodhand in the time of Charlemagne, a series which - will enjoyable enough - has never *quite* managed to hit the heights of his Robin Hood 'Outlaw Chronicles' series of novels.
Here, we have Bjarki living a quiet life at the start of the novel, before events transpire to drag him - and his sister Tor - back into the conflict between the Christian Franks and the pagan Danes/Saxons, events that culminate in one of the few Frankish (temporary) defeats.
Worth a read? Yes.
As good as the Outlaw Chronicles series? No.

Wonderful, honestly!!
I am so enjoying this series. I've tried to steer clear of reading series recently. I'm following a couple already, and the wait for the next book in those series is excruciating! So here I am, at the end of book 2, and I have to wait until next year for the third! Ah well. Anyway, I loved everything about this book: the storyline, the characters, the world building. It's brilliant. Well worth a read.

Hot guys!
Strong female character
My favorite Assassin
I love the world Sarah creates! Fae, witches, demons, a prince, assassins, and magic! Throne of Glass is the start to this amazing series and it takes a little to get into it because there is so much you need to know about her past and all the characters and the world. The series gets better with each book you read.

Good selection of series and films. (2 more)
Good for original shows.
Good for keeping up to date on the latest releases.
Doesn't always have the full film series which can make it hard to watch some things. (2 more)
Doesn't have enough of an anime section for me, needs to add more.
A series doesn't always have a trailer which means you sometimes have to watch it to find out you don't like it and feel like it's a waste of time.

I'm not sure why I had this on my want to read shelf, because I've read the series before. I really like this series. Patch is just so 😍😍😍. But Nora is kind of dull. Honestly though the series is worth reading. Her best friend gets on my nerves though.
I read all of the books super quickly. I really like them. I went and bought them. I originally read them at the library.

This is the third book in this series by this author. Another fantastic story from this talented author. This is a very good romantic read which has some added funny moments. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. The characters are amazing, very well written. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended series

This is the forth book in this series by this author. Another amazing story by this author. The characters are fantastic, powerful male meets innocent female. Even though this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone read. This story is very well written and will keep you hooked till the very end. I can't wait to read more from this series and from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Interesting Character's
Makes you want to read the series!
I was told about the Sword of Truth books from a colleague after mentioning I was searching for a new fantasy series to read. I read this one first and it got me hooked. I loved this book and the maim Character's.
I did find after the 5th book that I started to get bored. But this book is by far the best of the series.

Excellent series that refreshes tee genre
Not going to dwell on the story about conglomerate super heroes and the source of justice for one of them killing the leads girlfriend in an accident. All I can say is its amazing, adult and isn't afraid to be graphic. Utterly excellent and honours the comic book series.
