Blood Borne: Cathedral Chronicles 3

By: E.M.G. Wixley

Narrated by: Clive Johnson

After centuries of lying buried, a dark and dangerous book is unearthed. It holds great powers and secrets. Now in the hands of evil, its voice threatens to transform time, space, and human existence. A battle between the dark forces of hell and the light of heaven shakes the universe.

The living book has a metamorphic effect on Emperor Oswald, changing him from a man into a demonic beast. Meanwhile, humankind, ravaged by war and weakened by disease, is forced to yield to his fearful rule. Drawn to the new Cathedrals and religion, people are forced to witness the terror inflicted on those who resist their new leaders.

Nobody is prepared for the coming catastrophic events.

May be heard as a stand-alone.

I liked it.

I liked it more than I expected. There are moments that I foud confusing and would have liked more explanation. It also felt like the bad guys were winning but I found this a refeshing type of writing. We tend to see it through the good guy who might turn bad but then fights back to become good again. Not so in this case which surprised me because I was expecting it to go a certain way and it went in another. There are some good guys but they felt minor compared to the evil ones.
If you want to try something different than this is for you.

not the best in the series but good

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was pretty good, though it was thoroughly unrelenting in its darkness. I would have liked a little more success for good to balance out the evil, but I can see how it works this way too. The narration is decent and kept me listening. This is definitely not my favorite book in the series, but it's worth listening to if you've liked the others.

It’s the End of the World as We Know It

The narration of this book was excellent. There is so much to this post apocalyptic series that is fantastical. The ultimate battle of good vs evil, the invasion of aliens and humans some with supernatural powers can be dark fantasy at times. This book is not simplistic though.
I do recommend it if you enjoy this genre. It is part of series so it will not be tied up by the end.

I was given a copy of this audiobook in lieu of an honest review.

Leave that Book Alone!

This was an interesting concept where a book of great evil is found and then has horrible affects on an Emperor. Turns him from a good person to a truly EVIL person. I found this Audio book truly depressing because there are many descriptions of suffering. The whole Land seems to be suffering from disease and torture. I received this Audio Book for free in exchange for an unbiased review. This is a true battle between the Dark and the Light. I just could not get into it.

The series is better as they go

TLDR; These get better as they go, but I still can't recommend them.

I may be in the minority on this, but these just aren't that good. I can't put my finger on exactly what the problem is, but the characters are hard to follow, I couldn't really understand the story, and I didn't have any connection to any of the characters. I'm not sure what could have been done to help address those issues, but if those could be addressed the bones of the story could have been something interesting.

Overall, I'd say pass on this series.
