About this listen

Wardwick of Hurog wishes to live in peace. Destiny has other plans. He is about to be arrested and imprisoned in the Asylum for Nobel Embarrassments and Inconveniences. Worse still, Ward has learned that the same man bent on his imprisonment, Jakoven Tallven, High King of the Five Kingdoms, is seeking Hurog blood to activate the supernatural equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction.

Once again Ward must play the fool to survive. Yet that will not suffice. Ward’s closest companions all must risk their lives and fortunes to keep Jakoven and his malevolent mage Jade Eyes from destroying their world.

Best Male Narrator

The narrator fully embraced and portrayed the characters in an impressively rare demonstration of talent.

Truly Enjoyed the Book

What did you love best about Dragon Blood?

I love Patricia Briggs wasn't sure, if I was going to like this series, but honestly enjoyed the imagination of plot and how the Dragon become part of the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved the characters, and how the Dragon was loyal to Hurog. I wish there was more series, because I loved going back to that time similar to the Lord of the Rings era. Loved it.

Joe Manganiello was a huge surprise!

It has taken me 3 years for me to use my credits for the Herog series. I love Patricia Briggs, but I was really iffy on Joe Manganiello. To my surprise, I think I like this series better than the Alpha and Omega series. Because this was recorded in 2011, I dont thing Mrs. Briggs will add more to the series, but I loved it!

Emjoyable listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For my friends who like sci-fi/fantasy I would recommend this.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragon Blood?

I liked it that the main characters did not escape all trauma (emotional or physical). We all take damage in life. It's not what damage we take but how we face it that defines us. I liked it that the characters had a chance to face their demons and (for a change) the Hero didn't assess the Heroine based on her magical perfection, but on real strengths and quirks and the homely beauties of her scars and troubles.

What does Joe Manganiello bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I liked that I could identify different characters by the way Joe Manganiello played them vocally. He laso has a deep, pleasantly rumbly voice which I find soothing and pleasant to listen to for long stretches.

Such a good book!

Patricia Briggs is a favorite author of mine. Many years ago I bought both "Dragon Bones" and "Dragon Blood". Read them and branched out to read everything Ms. Briggs has written.
The story is wonderous.
I love the different vocal tones given the characters by the narrations. This was a job well done.
I loved it!

Even better than Mercy Thompson!

I've read and enjoyed the whole Mercy Thompson series as well as the Alpha Omega series but this storey had better writing overall by leaps and bounds. Impressive. I will not be surprised if/when this is turned into a show/movie.

Really good story :D

4-4.5 stars

This was a really good story. I liked the characters and how Ward and his family and friends deal with the issues that life throws at them. Of course the issues in this story are much bigger than normal ones and the fate of many hangs on the results. Things turn out very well and there's even a bit of romance to give a happy ending. :D

* note - The narrator is Joe Manganiello (as in the actor that played many things including Alcide from True Blood). I was surprised but very happy about it as his voice fit Ward's character very well.
