Excellent story

It was a very good story. The characters were well done. You never know who will be standing at the end of the tale. It’s both a good and bad thing. Good because it keeps you rooting for the likable characters. Bad because a happy ending for characters you feel for is by no means assured. The author doesn’t go completely GOT and kill off everyone. He does seem to set up a couple, walk you through their struggles, get you to like them and hope they’ll make it. Then he’ll kill the woman off and leave you thinking WTF man!?! It’s a reoccurring theme in the Ansu books. Gol & The Emerald Queen were both dissatisfying because of that. I like happy endings. It’d be nice if fantasy writers of Webb’s caliber would kill off fewer heroines. The whole series really is excellent. Just that one detail sticks in my craw. I put it in the top three of my favorite sword & sorcery series. The new narrator has done a great job too. The editors missed a few spots. Several times sentences get repeated and you can hear some throat clearing. It’s not a lot and sounds to me like the editors missed an hour or so of recording when they were going over things.

Excellent!

This is a great series! I can’t wait for more. I definitely recommend this series.

Epic conclusion to the Berserker Trilogy

I love audio books. The narration immerses me in the story, the world and the characters. No way I can skip ahead to find out what happens as I am held captive to the action and drama. A tangled tale of treachery and retribution. The threads are drawn together. This trilogy is best appreciated in order: Blood Feud, The Giant's Dance and now Shadow of the White Bear. George Ellington does an amazing work interpreting the characters. Enjoy.

overall

the world building is really good, and the characters in the series have you so investing into seeing what is in store for them.
