Bonds of Blood

Wild Hearts, Book 5

De: Nazri Noor

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

Family matters.

With the help of his found family and his beloved Prince Sylvain, Lochlann Wilde has finally conquered the four oriels of the Wispwood. Now that the elemental gemstones are united in his amulet, Locke can earn Aphrodite’s favor.

Whatever that may be. But there’s plenty to do in the meantime, anyway. Catching up with his mom, for example, or exploring his true identity as a half-undine human. Sylvain’s hotness and histrionics keep him very busy, too.

But something strange is afoot at the academy. The arrival of a familiar face, a mythical mage, a living legend… except that no one even knew he was still alive.

Grand Summoner Baylor Wilde has returned to the Wispwood.

I'm sad that it's over

The narrator did a fantastic job of portraying multiple characters. You can really hear the depth of the story through his words and it just draws you in.

Wonderful Series

If this was the end of the Wild Hearts series, it was a wonderfully satisfying conclusion. That said, I hope our friends will see many more adventures together. Nazri Noor creates such marvelous characters that I actually miss them when their stories end. Noor and TJ Klune are my two favorite authors of all time, and given how much I read, that's saying something. I highly recommend this series.

LGBT love

Great story! Just wish they were a bit longer. Hope to see more adventures in the future!

Twisty family drama

Loch and Sylvain and crew go out with a bang. Expect appearances from everyone for the final battle. A very satisfying series ending that's full of family drama and twisty roads to the end.

Nothing less than an excellent audio performance by Greg Boudreaux.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy

Short And Ahhhhh!

I was in recovery from my hysterectomy and I promised I wouldn't "read" (buy) any audio books until I returned to work so OF COURSE this book comes out and man was I tempted!

But I waited and here I am. It was horribly short but well worth it. It was peak Noor and Boudreaux. Very funny and silly, but also an engaging plot and turn of events. The shortness makes a lot things abrupt, but everything has built to these moments do it all made perfect sense.

Noor's writing was just on point! It's hard for me to explain because it is more something I feel rather than something articulate, but I was pulled in.

And Boudreaux! I know that raspy voice was doing him in and appreciate the effort. And of course everyone else's voices were top notch. So oddly solid that it was jarring sometimes.

Also, if I am ever tricked into an AI reading an audiobook (or writing, or even doing covers) I'd die. I appreciate the support on this niche part of the world!
