Worse still, Ward has learned that the same man bent on his imprisonment, Jakoven Tallven, High King of the Five Kingdoms, is seeking Hurog blood to activate the supernatural equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction.

relistened to this book many times I love it

I was so happy when there was a sequel to dragon bones both are some of my favorite books. I've read and listened to them both many times.

Best Male Narrator

The narrator fully embraced and portrayed the characters in an impressively rare demonstration of talent.

Truly Enjoyed the Book

What did you love best about Dragon Blood?

I love Patricia Briggs wasn't sure, if I was going to like this series, but honestly enjoyed the imagination of plot and how the Dragon become part of the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved the characters, and how the Dragon was loyal to Hurog. I wish there was more series, because I loved going back to that time similar to the Lord of the Rings era. Loved it.

GREAT BOOKS

I love the main guy. I have read and listened to these two book over and over. I just wish there was more books like it....

Joe Manganiello was a huge surprise!

It has taken me 3 years for me to use my credits for the Herog series. I love Patricia Briggs, but I was really iffy on Joe Manganiello. To my surprise, I think I like this series better than the Alpha and Omega series. Because this was recorded in 2011, I dont thing Mrs. Briggs will add more to the series, but I loved it!

The adventure continues

Enjoyed the continuation of this story - an adventure into an interesting and magical world. Well written and expertly narrated.

Good gets even better

I'm a long time Patricia Briggs fan and a couple a months ago I bought the CD set of Dragon Blood because I wanted to see if Joe Manganiello could do it justice( Joe Manganiello plays the sexy werewolf Alcide on True Blood). Well he did. In fact he did it so well that when I see Ward I can only see his face even if he has dark hair and Ward is blond. I thought I would have to wait a whole year before Dragon Blood came out but here it is and this time I downloaded it so I could listen to it on my Kindle. Dragon Blood takes everything up a notch. More action, more twists and turns, bad guys get badder and there is even a bit of romantic action. I hope Patricia Briggs writes more in this series because I want to see what happens to Oreg and many of the other characters and when it comes to audio won't you please.please,please have Joe Manganiello do the reading.

Good Story

Recording faded in and out but the story worth the inconvenience . Great follow up to Dragon Bones. Would enjoy more storylines from this time and place

Excellent

One of patricias early books
Well worth the credit
I wish she’d go back to her earlier books and write more

Emjoyable listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For my friends who like sci-fi/fantasy I would recommend this.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragon Blood?

I liked it that the main characters did not escape all trauma (emotional or physical). We all take damage in life. It's not what damage we take but how we face it that defines us. I liked it that the characters had a chance to face their demons and (for a change) the Hero didn't assess the Heroine based on her magical perfection, but on real strengths and quirks and the homely beauties of her scars and troubles.

What does Joe Manganiello bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I liked that I could identify different characters by the way Joe Manganiello played them vocally. He laso has a deep, pleasantly rumbly voice which I find soothing and pleasant to listen to for long stretches.
