Nicodemus

The Stone Warriors, Book 5

By: D.B. Reynolds

Narrated by: Tor Thom

Nicodemus stood on the battlefield, magic a storm of power surrounding him, his army on the cusp of victory against his lifelong enemy, the sorcerer Sotiris, whose death would finally bring peace to their world...until everything changed. The four warriors who'd stood by him through endless wars were struck down by a curse, gone in an instant, and spun into the sands of time. And Antonia, the woman he loved so fiercely, was bespelled into an unknown world.

In a universe a thousand years from where he was born, his freed warriors seek him out and stand with him once more. But what of Antonia, what of her fate at the sorcerer's whim? With his warriors' help, Nicodemus untangles the twisted reality Sotiris has contrived to hide his beloved. Together at last, Nico and Antonia will rediscover the love and trust they once held for each other, wanting only to share the life they've been denied for so long.

But Sotiris is still a threat - one that must be eliminated if there is to be peace. With Antonia and his warriors by his side - as well as an unexpected, but deadly, ally - Nicodemus prepares for the final battle. And this time, only one sorcerer will walk away.

Contains mature themes.

Excellent Series !

This whole series was fantastic! I recommend anybody to read it…the crescendos at the end of each book was fantastic… And the narrator, what can I say I listen to every book of his I can, that voice is incredible and he does such a wonderful job!

History of Nic

The majority of the story is an exhaustive history, with some notable characters and a lot of other. But when the timeline catches up, it’s a great finish to the bigger plot line.

Well Worth The Wait!

Of course, I had already read the Kindle version of Nicodemus, but Tor Tom’s narration, as always, made it seem fresh and new. Now for the long wait for D.B.’s next page-turner, be it in Kindle or Audible.

Long AF

Dear God... I fast forwarded to the point of skipping some chapters and it was still sooooo long. The narrator is great for male voices but the females come across a little to breathy and just bleh. It would be better if he just read those parts normally. Even if you liked the series, I'd skip this one.

So Disappointed-couldn’t finish

There is a huge boring section regarding fighting vampires that I just couldn’t get through. Maybe if I had gotten past that section, I may have understood why it went on and on and on and on but I could no longer make myself do it. It just seems so redundant; like a totally different story from this series. I guess I just will never know Nicolas’ story. I thought this was supposed to be a series about stone warriors not vampires. I will need to avoid all of Ms. Reynolds series in the future, because regardless the supposed subject, vampires always seems prominent. Mr. Thom’s performance was OK, just no real attempt to change voices. However, there wasn’t a lot of dialogue (At least not up to the point where I stopped).
