Publisher's summary

As the pit fighters face new threats and old enemies, the arena will be awash in blood, in the fifth volume of this thrilling fantasy series.

Goll quickly realizes he may have killed one opponent too many when he confronts the wrath of a dead gladiator’s stable in a slew of blood matches. Outside the Pit, Brozz fights for his life and Borchus finds refuge with an old friend.

Struggling to recover from his wounds and seeking a purpose, Halm of Zhiberia discovers that giving up a pit fighter’s life isn’t as easy as it seems . . . nor is it his decision alone. And in the west, a monstrous enemy makes itself known—and positions itself to strike at both the games and Sunja’s heart.

Perfect for fans of Gladiatorand A Game of Thrones!

Left an earlier review.... spoke to soon.

Everything is good about these books but it’s like 1 book or 1 story stretched over 5+ books.there is never any resolution. When I started this series and liked the first book enough to continue, I saw it had 5 books. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t complete. If I had known I’d have waited.

The author is definitely milking it.

My buddy Keith could make a menu cool to read!

Keith Blackmore can do it all: horror,fantasy,short,novel -what do you need? Support this man;so we can enjoy his stuff often! Unlike certain mega -talented authors; he has a kick- ass work ethic. So, forget unfit toppers -who take 8 years to give fans a book 3 ,or crank out a great series ,then get a little slothful. Let’s crown a new king, one deserving and obviously qualified!

An Incomplete Story

This is a very entertaining series with an outstanding performance by John Lee. However, there are too many unresolved aspects of the entire story. I hope there will be more books to follow.

EXCELLENT

I have listened to the 131 Days series several times. It is incredible how Keith's story telling skills draws one in. It is as if you are there with the characters experiencing every aspect of their lives. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in th 131 Days series.

An epic. hidden gem

I thoroughly enjoyed Keith's two other series; Breeders and Mountain Man, so I decided to give this one a shot. Absolutely did not disappoint.

I loved the first book so much, that I bought Al the others for kindle and on audible, so I wouldn't miss a beat while on my nightly walks.

The characters all had incredible depth and personality, and the banter between them never got old. Keith did mention this series want finished, but delayed until late 2020.

gardening

You really shit the bed with this book and troll hunter. This was a trilogy you killed by inches. learn how to outline. This book is embracing to you and us. I cared for 2 seconds and you killed her both times. there is a difference between being so toxic, you chase good women away and life just happening and makeing people grow apart. nether of witch has anything to do with cheap writing tricks, especially when you beat the same one to death. oh ya, I'm a dude by the way on my wife's account. I'm sure you don't read reviews by women typically for multiple reasons. dont disregard mine. try harder, guss would .

Slow

Quite slow. Not a lot going on in this book. Seemed like a filler. I will continue on with the series but was quite disappointed with this one.

I just read about book 6

I just read a FB post from Blackmore regarding 131 days book 6! I absolutely love this series and am excited to know that the next book is in the works.
