Story
Everyone knows dragons have been extinct for over 1,000 years. Everyone is wrong. At least one dragon remains, and military scientists from the Cofah Empire are experimenting with its blood, using the magical substance to power deadly new weapons that could be used to bring the world to its knees. That's a concern for Zirkander, Cas, and the rest of the Iskandians, but all Tolemek wants is to find his missing sister.

Story
As a cartography student, Jak has always dreamed of finding the lost dragon gate and exploring and mapping distant worlds. Developing magical powers and becoming a powerful wizard? Not a chance. But when he and his archaeologist mother unearth the gate, they attract the attention of the very wizards they sought to avoid. Even more troubling, Jak starts developing magical powers of his own, powers that could rival those of the great rulers.

Telryn "Trip" Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he's struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother's execution. Her crime? Witchcraft. Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king's army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as General Zirkander.

Unfortunately, a nefarious underground organization is attempting to kill the one man who could grant it to them - the emperor. If they want to win their freedom, they’ll have to battle powerful wizards, outscheme master schemers, and defeat bloodthirsty monsters, all while dodging friendly fire and evading the law.

But when his ship sails into port, a beautiful woman wearing the garb of an inquisitor from one of the religious orders waits to arrest him. He’s accused of stealing an ancient artifact with the power to start another war.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

Summary
A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend.
There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them. But they are feared for those powers, and in recent centuries they have been hunted nearly to extinction.
The few remaining survivors must find a way to change how humanity perceives them or be lost to the world forever.
The Dragon Blood Omnibus includes three full-length novels of action, magic, and romance: Balanced on the Blade's Edge, book one; Deathmaker, book two; Blood Charged, book three.

Frothy Fantasy
This is a rollicking swashbuckling tale of a sorceress out of time, a rakish pilot, and various sidekicks. The first book tells of Sardelle and her soul blade and how she encounters Ridge and there is quite a heavy emphasis on romantic connection between the protagonists.
Book 2 tells of one of Ridge's squad and her battle to escape prison. Helping her is a pirate with the nickname Deathbringer.
The third book brings them all together on a mission for the King although the emphasis is heavily on Ridge and Sardelle.
This is no Way of Kings. It is an enjoyable romp with just enough background and description to get you into that world but nothing more. It made a nice change of pace from the intense epics of Brandon Sanderson that I had been listening to up till this point.
A nice distracting listen to and I will get the next one in the series if that's any indication.
The author took a little getting used to as she used quite harsh accents for some of the characters but after a while my ear got used to it. She's not the best reader I've heard but she wasn't awful either.
All in all a reasonable series and worth a 'credit' from Audible.

Suitable for teenager not adults
one star is a bit harsh It's a slow moving story, hardly anything happens in the first book of much significance. but it's an easy to listen to book. the romance was very cringe and more suited to a teenage crush at high school than between grown adults. book 2 started on a good premise but again you can see the same cringy romance developing between very unlikely and total strangers randomly. it's hard to listen to. especially the narration just makes my skin crawl

Great Adventure,
This story is just about perfect for me. Great characters, humour, romance, lots of action and adventure and I love the mixture magic and machines. Caitlin Davies's performance is superb, especially of the snarky Jaxi Character. Can't wait for the rest of the series to be added to Audible.

Narrator takes a while to get used to.
I read these books a few years ago and loved them. I was so happy to see the series here on Audible as I only read the first 3. However the narrator doesn't feel very natural as she reads. She sounds a bit robotic, like she's the voice that does automated phone call things. But after a while, if you stick with it you can start to overlook her voice. She does some character voices well though.

Love the concept
Brilliant story, narrator is a bit irritating with the way she reads. Her voice in general is ok, but her actual reading of the text has a tendency to emphasise words that dont need it, or places that need excitement are read blandly. I also found that she'll use an accent sometimes for a character and the same character gets a different accent another time.
Its just as well i enjoyed the story enough or it would have put me off finishing.
I am getting the rest of the books as i need to know what happens.

A YA romance story with a little magic thrown in.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I you are a teenage female yes.
What was most disappointing about Lindsay Buroker’s story?
The reviews. This is YA romance and people gushed over the depth of the story. Rapidly getting to the point where reviews on Audible are non-helpful.
What does Caitlin Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is fine .
Was Dragon Blood - Omnibus worth the listening time?
Not for an adult male. Pure waste of a credit. Could only get half through.
Any additional comments?
Audible STRONGLY needs to set up a YA section and place books accordingly. That would help readers looking for YA and those NOT.

Charming and Strangely Soothing!
The first book in this series grabbed me immediately, and over the last few months I've gone back to these books over and over again. I dare anyone to listen to the first book and not be entranced by the story and the magic. Love this!
There is something wonderful about Lindsay Buroker's writing -- with Caitlin Davies reading -- that makes me feel like I'm in safe hands. I find I can relax at the end of a difficult day, knowing the stories she writes will take me away to a simpler time, with sweetly interesting characters that I find it easy to care about. The magic, the potions, the action scenes and affecting relationships, are so well written and fleshed out, that it's easy to get lost in this world.
Kind of steam-punky -- but steam punk done subtly and really well -- the descriptions of the mechanisms suit the world and time, and make sense in the context of the story. (Hot air balloon travel over a volcano? Yep!)
While exciting and action packed, Buroker has also shown that it's possible for a fantasy series to be romantic and charming, and I'm a big, big fan! Just got my hands on books 4 and 5 and I cannot wait to begin them.
Highly Recommended: For those who love fantasy and/or steam punk, action, magic and potions, and a small core group of of close friends on a quest!

Get what you pay for.
This omnibus was a free book and I can see why. Mediocre story more of a romance than fantasy/sci-fi. And as always, even the best book can be nauseating with a poor narrator. I don't understand how these authors agree to some of the narrators. This one is either a dreary monotone or puts inflection where it absolutely does not belong. I'll give her a little credit for trying to keep a constant tone to each character but she doesn't have a good range. She was very boring to listen to. The books lack any real depth. I hate giving bad reviews but this was a struggle.

Meh
Ok...The narrator annoyed me greatly at first when she would pronounce mountain without the "t", like a school aged valley girl. It seems it was noticed by the second book and it mostly stopped.
The story was ok...I was looking forward to it ending so i could move to the next series. If you are extremely bored and at the end of your literary buffet, id say its worth a bite. Little more though.

I made it through. Barely.
Would you try another book from Lindsay Buroker and/or Caitlin Davies?
No. Definitely not.
What could Lindsay Buroker have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Don't make the foreshadowing so blatant and detailed that you have to struggle through the next twenty minutes waiting for the foreshadowed event to finally happen. It isn't any fun knowing what is going to happen and having to wait for the book to spell out all the details leading up to the event.
Also, be more consistent with what the characters and there abilities and the usage of those abilities. You give them abilities and then forget to use them during every exchange where it would have come in handy.
And Another thing. Why can't the characters act like real human beings and confront one another with there problems. It was painful to see the characters completely ignore each other and while talking about the grievances they have with each other while being within earshot of each other.
What three words best describe Caitlin Davies’s voice?
Annoying.
Boring.
Droning.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It ended. The only reason that I finished it was because I was hoping that the pace would pick up and the action would build more anticipation. This never happened and any chance of it was killed with the over detailed foreshadowing that removed all mystery and suspense.
Any additional comments?
Note to self. Don't by any more books by this author.

A HIDDEN JEWEL - CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REST!!!!
I just hate that 5 stars is all that I can award this series. I'd love to shout out to everyone who loves a good tale.........listen to this. Yes, get the full benefit & LISTEN not read.
The story weaving is excellent but the audio enhances it to the NTH DEGREE. Caitlin Davies did an awesome job! Each character has their own voice and there were many many voices for her to do. Imagine doing individual voices & personalities for an entire fighter squadron along with the main characters and supporting characters. She even got her soulblade, Jaxi's voice at it's "snarky" best.
What a Great Omnibus of books. I spent sleepless nights listening to this set of 3 books. The only thing wrong is that the remainder of the series isn't available on Audible YET.
There are a few other books at audible by this author but not in this series...I CRAVE MORE. This series is a cross between life on other planets & magic. The author made it marry very well. It sort of reminded me of Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle books in the beginning years when I couldn't put them down.
The shocker is that I got this 3 book set through Amazon for $.99 plus the extra few $$ [2.99] for the audible version [whispersync rocks on occasion]. I can't believe this series isn't flying off the shelves. Basically, $4 for 27.5 hours of bliss. This author was unknown to me prior to my listening to this audiobook but I plan to put Lindsay Boroker on my short list of authors & am eagerly waiting.
It has been ages since I have enjoyed a series as much as this one. Oh, there have been a few that I have enjoyed quite a bit but Dragon Blood tops them all...and to think that I hardly paid anything for this much pleasure. Really, I wish I could tell the world about this series...I haven't been this excited in a long time.
My only question is: How long do I have to wait for Patterns in the Dark (Dragon Blood, #4) & The Blade's Memory (Dragon Blood, #5)? I am like an addict that needs to know the rest of the story...I need that fix NOW. No, I don't want to read it. I want to hear the voices of all the supporting characters in Ridge's squadron. No, I NEED to hear Duck's country boy voice & the voice of Apex, his over educated priggish team mate & all the other wonderful voices that bring this series to life. Sardelle & Ridge have much more to offer me & I can see a long life in this series because the supporting characters are so interesting & all have their own stories that need to be heard. Tolemek must continue his quest because his sister will have a few surprises for him...I just know it.

This is NOT a epic fantasy, it's a romance novel
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
It could have been actually something other than a romance novel hidden in a supposed fantasy epic
Would you ever listen to anything by Lindsay Buroker again?
Probably not
Would you be willing to try another one of Caitlin Davies’s performances?
Maybe
Any additional comments?
Come on really, the main character smitten in the first day after hibernating for 300 years, and the commander returns the affection?

Thoroughly entertaining
These are the first three books of a series of six. I hope the next in the series will be released soon. I found the story to be well written, attention grabbing, and very entertaining.
There's magic but also things like old style fighter planes, which sounds like a strange combination, but the author makes it work. Well worth the credit.
