Greatcoats, Book 3

By: Sebastien de Castell

Narrated by: Joe Jameson

Length: 18 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

How do you kill a Saint?

Falcio, Kest, and Brasti are about to find out, because someone has figured out a way to do it and they've started with a friend.

The Dukes were already looking for ways out of their agreement to put Aline on the throne, but with the Saints turning up dead, rumors are spreading that the Gods themselves oppose her ascension. Now churches are looking to protect themselves by bringing back the military orders of religious soldiers, assassins, and (especially) Inquisitors - a move that could turn the country into a theocracy.

The only way Falcio can put a stop to it is by finding the murderer. He has only one clue: a terrifying iron mask which makes the Saints vulnerable by driving them mad. But even if he can find the killer, he'll still have to face him in battle.

And that may be a duel that no swordsman, no matter how skilled, can hope to win.

great except Falcio changed

it was good overall but Falcio changed from a hero-ish character to a whimpering coward. I think he got some new balls at the very end, hopefully he keeps them in the next book.

Epic & Best Yet

This is a remarkable series, & gets better with each book. Joe Jameson does a fantastic job across the series, with every character, male, female & diety alike. Please keepbwriting, and narrating gentlemen.

Additionally, I find it refreshing that Sebastien de Castell not only acknowledges his real- life “greatcoats”, but does it so sincerely and with such genuine feeling. So glad his work came across my radar.

Performance

The performance was incredible for this book. The story losses itself in several areas but the performance is what made you stay to the end.

Favorite So Far

The thing I loved so much about Traitor's Blade, the first book in this series, was the humor and sense of adventure. Knight's Shadow, book two, seemed to lose a little of that in the beginning before picking up steam, but Saint's Blood shoots out the gates with a return of the fun and adventure that made me love this series in the first place. The hilarious banter between Falcio, West, and Brasti, was a welcome return to the series, and Saint's Blood turned out to be my favorite book so far.

The narration from Joe Jameson continues to be perfect for this series. I am excited to move on to book 4.

An awesome third book to the series.

This was a great book to listen to. I have enjoyed the series and it has made traveling a pleasure.

Swashbuckling redux!

Grand adventure, bravery, plot twists and turns, and an amazing narration. What's not to love?

Just keeps getting good.

I listen to many books in this genre and I must admit I really loved this one for the unique aspects of it. Without going into much spoiler detail the aspect of learning things via song really stood out to me as something I never really think about in my every day but tend to use. The characters are likable and some big emotions between them. I recommend this as well as the rest of the story as this review is for the over all series not just this book.

Third book in and still enjoying it. 

I think this is generally how it works for Saga. The the first book really grip me. The second was also great and I enjoyed it but the third I felt I was waiting to see what the fourth would be like. I still love the character development and I’m very invested in all the main characters and enjoy the humour and wit. All in all, these three books have been great so far and I’m looking forward to the fourth.
