Rhapsody

Child of Blood

De: Elizabeth Haydon

Narrado por: Kevin T. Collins

Rhapsody, n (1542). 1: a portion of an epic poem adapted for recitation. 2, archaic: a miscellaneous collection. 3 a (1): a highly emotional utterance (2): a highly emotional literary work (3): effusively rapturous or extravagant discourse b: rapture, ecstasy. 4: a musical composition of irregular form having an improvisatory character.

Elizabeth Haydon is a major new force in fantasy. Equipped with a quick wit, Haydon has a sharp ear for dialogue, panache with characters, and that essential ability to transport her readers into her own fantastical world--a world so real you can hear the sweet music of Rhapsody's aubade and smell the smoldering forges within the Cauldron.

Rhapsody is a woman, a singer of some talent who is swept up into events of world-shattering import. On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage--one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.

Good story good narrator

The reviews for the Narration are so negative. I however loved it Kevin t Collins is one of my favorite narrators. The story is wonderful and beautifully written

excellent read

I started this book with a paperback copy and halfway through, due to time limitations, I bought the Audible version; beat choice ever! I will be purchasing the next two installments from Audible as well. Epic story with a lovely heroine and great characters and story plot.The author rates up there with Jordan, McAferty and Tolkien. The reader gets your heart pumping in suspenseful areas and does an excellent job giving each character their own voice. a must have in any library!

Definetly an old story but still fairly good

The writing style is definitely of an older style of writing but still a compelling story. The main character can be a little obnoxiously oblivious to the world around her but still offers a dynamic story. It does get started fairly quickly with some high emotional scenes. I would easily recommend this book to anyone.

loved it and got into it very quickly..

lol I'm not even a social reader ..that is until Now.. bought book 2.. fixing to get into it..love that this very long and I never lost interest

Bad narration, good book!

Worst narrator ever! He obviously did not like the writer's sexier plot points. Sounded like a tween aged girl. Worth the read even so.
