Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: The Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds. With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption.

Joe has been great, but this was horrible. So many characters ruined. This reminded me of Game of Thrones when it comes to either killing characters off, ruining them or just forgetting about them. Even great writers make mistakes, thank goodness most of Joe’s books are amazing. Don’t waste your time on this book or the trilogy.

Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way. For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized, and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye...before it kills her.

This book is so depressing, why call it fantasy when you can get the same death and greed watching the news? Don’t wast your credit!

Meet John Milton. He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder. Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. But now, after ten years, he's had enough - there's blood on his hands and he wants out. Trouble is, this job is not one you can just walk away from. He goes on the run, seeking atonement for his sins by helping the people he meets along the way.

Half American, half Japanese, expert in both worlds but at home in neither, John Rain is the best killer money can buy. You tell him who. You tell him where. He doesn’t care about why... Until he gets involved with Midori Kawamura, a beautiful jazz pianist - and the daughter of his latest kill.

It was hard for me to even tell if the story was good or not I stopped listening after an hour. If I wanted to feel like I was reading a book I wouldn’t listen to audible books, basically the author just read the book to us with no difference and voices.

The President of the United States can’t decide how to respond to a classified video showing the Taliban’s brutal treatment of their captive - a female helicopter pilot of the Army’s elite Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Afraid that a botched rescue will further destabilize foreign policy and end his presidency, the Commander-in-Chief falters. But when the Special Ops community learns that one of their own is being tortured and will almost certainly be killed, no executive order will stop them from attempting a rescue mission.

I don’t usually do reviews and I am not usually interested in this genre. I will say that this is a great book. I am not an American Sniper fan, real guy or book, but this book broke through that bias and won me over!

The Skull Throne of Krasia stands empty. Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse.

This book left us in the same place as the last and was just a ploy to sell more books. Don't waste your credit and wait for the last book.

Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle - disguised and alone - to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the 35-year spell of a madman.

Revisado: 08-26-12
Would you try another book from Kristin Cashore and/or Xanthe Elbrick?
Maybe, if there is nothing else.
Would you ever listen to anything by Kristin Cashore again?
Maybe
How did the narrator detract from the book?
So different from first book, felt like all new characters. Very distracting.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment.
Any additional comments?
The first book was great. Fire should have been its own story without the ties to the others. Bruce new narrator and choppy loose end story took away from a great character in Bitterblue.
