A fairly god book that kept my attention after a somewhat weak start... the narrator's engagement was with its different characters a bit frustrating .. but just bear with him as he sort of grows in to it and I with him.

Fantasy & SciFi
'A Time of Dread reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place' – Robin Hobb, author of Assassin's Apprentice.
Set in the same world as the Faithful and the Fallen quartet, the first novel in John Gwynne's Of Blood and Bone series, A Time of Dread, takes place one hundred years after the end of Wrath.
The Ben-Elim, a race of warrior angels, once vanquished a mighty demon horde. Now they rule the Banished lands. But their dominion is brutally enforced and their ancient enemy may not be as crushed as they thought.
In the snowbound north, Drem, a trapper, finds mutilated corpses in the forests – a sign of demonic black magic. In the south, Riv, a young, tempestuous soldier, discovers a deadly rift within the Ben-Elim themselves.
Two individuals with two world-changing secrets. But where will they lead? And what role will Drem and Riv play in the Banished Land's fate? Difficult choices need to be made. Because in the shadows, demons are gathering, waiting for their time to rise. . .
Continue the heroic fantasy series with A Time of Blood.
'A truly excellent read . . . Exciting, well-written swords and sorcery. Try it on for size' – Mark Lawrence, author of The Broken Empire.
'John Gwynne is one of the modern masters of heroic fantasy' – Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Ruin.

Inte alls dum. Många karaktärer och olika platser. Så man skulle behövt en karta och ett utskrivet persongalleri. Men det funkar dom ljudbok ändå.

Hold ut de første timene så blir det bedre. Vanskelig å følge de forskjellige historiene og forstå dynamikken i verden uten noe forklaring fra starten av.

It starts out with a lot of different characters to get to know. Confusing as you hop from one to another. But I gave it chance and it was worth it. Once you can keep them all apart it is a nice mix of personalities and storylines

Rigtig god og velskrevet bog. Der er mange karakterer og detaljer og man skal holde tungen lige i munden. Det er tydeligt at historien kun er lige begyndt, og jeg vil straks kaste mig over den næste bog i serien!

Hard to get into and too many characters to keep track of in the beginning

Läs inledningen till denna bok och lyssna på de 3 första kapitlet. Gå vidare till bok 2 av 3 och du har en spännande handling som är en klassisk fantasy bokserie med tydliga drag av Game of Thrones. Som en annan recension sa - upplevde striderna som de mest gripande - men allt det andra i den här boken är seg.

De første 8 minutter er opremsning af ca 100 navne og stednavne - end ikke den mest indædte slægtsforsker kan følge med hee tror jeg - utrolig dårlig.

The fighting is poorly written. A large group of demon hunters raid a demon's lair, but somehow all ignore the demon during the fighting. Except for two hunters, one of which somehow has godlike skills during the fight.
