Summary

In A Time of Courage, angels, demons and heroes face the ultimate fight for the Banished Lands. This is the epic conclusion to John Gwynne's mighty trilogy: Of Blood and Bone.

Battle the dark. Reclaim the world.... 

The King of the Otherworld is finally free. Armed with fearsome new starstone weapons, Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. And with the help of his bride, Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies for good.

In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council ­­– desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. They decide to fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. But Drem and the Order are already under siege by a demon horde and their fragile defences may soon shatter.

Across the Banished Lands, armies are gathering to settle ancient grudges and decide the fate of humanity. Drem, Riv and the Bright Star’s warriors will need to call on all their courage as they face the final battle. But will it be enough, as their darkest hour draws near?

Great conclusion

I felt a little less connected to the characters than I did the original characters of Corbin etc but still a great series of books worthy of a listen / read.

FANTASTIC

what can I say, this series was as good as the last, I actually rationed the last book as I didn't want it to end and the narrator was the icing on the cake so we'll read. sorry it finished.

A bit repetitive

if you listen to this series of books on the bounce you require they actually become quite reporting with their use of language. There are a few pretty annoying plot holes too. The voice acting was was, a few really annoying choices.

3 credits wasted!

Sincerely wish I hadn’t bothered with this trilogy. Couldn’t wait for it to finish. Very repetitious, Way too much battling- it’s annoying me to even write this review!

End of a Trilogy

A trilogy comes to an end. A well written story of Giants, ‘angels’ and men in a land being torn apart by evil forces.

Not as good as the original series

As the title says! The overall story, characters and depth were not of the same quality in my opinion.

The narration was at times very badly edited, full of pregnant pauses which at times seriously affected the flow of the story.

I would have rated 3.5 stars.
