Summary
Gladiator. Assassin. Thief. Princess. And the slave. The five warrior angels have been revealed; one by one, the mystical weapons they once wielded are being found, and an ancient prophecy is finally being fulfilled. Or is it?
For when it comes to recorded history, much is intended to manipulate and deceive.
Returning to the kingdom of Gul Kana, Princess Jondralyn has suffered a devastating loss, discovering that not all prophecy is to be assumed, not all scripture to be trusted. At the same time, her younger sister, Tala, has found faith within herself while facing off against villains, who are using her for their devices.
Hawkwood, the former Bloodwood Assassin, is captured. And the knight, Gault, betrayed by the Angel Prince, can only wonder of the fate of his daughter who has fallen into terrible hands. All while Nail embarks upon the deadliest quest the Five Isles has ever known.

Rip roaring adventure
I'll start with the narration, absolutely tip top from Tim Gerard Reynolds. He keeps everything flowing smoothly, dramatic only where needed and intonation flawless.
Of course, not even the best actor could save a miserable script, but the material from Brian Lee Durfee is spellbinding.
The characters are fantastically endearing, perhaps none more so than the redoubtable Liz Hen and her stolid friend Dokie. The swearing from Liz Hen is right on point, I think she's my new hero 😂 and who in their right mind wouldn't want a furry four legged friend like the fierce and loyal Beermug.
The only downside for me is that the third volume is currently not available in the UK for whatever reason. I admit that volume 1 Forgetting Moon and this one too, were both free with the Audible subscription and it was only something about the book cover picture that made me dismiss it (never judge a book by its cover eh), I would most certainly be willing to pay top whack to get the third book downloaded. I might have to scour alternative options to satisfy my jibbering addiction 😕😁😦😂
I wholeheartedly recommend these books to any and all, many thanks to all involved in bringing this to my ears 👍😁

Blackest Heart
I didn't love this story. Can't say I understood it. I didn't love any of the characters. I was dumbfounded by the lack of the human logic in some of the twists and turns in events. It was so very, very, long, on the verge of and wanting to be an epic. It was Tim G R's narration that carried me through (love him). And strangely, I still want to see where the author takes it and how everything gets resolved (or not) in the end.

Epic Dark Goodness.
Damn, what a bloody fantastic series, but on another note, I don't think I've ever read a series where I want to see at least half the characters die excruciating torturers' deaths. They are despicable, cruel, violent, and evil, and I know Brian Lee Durfee is gonna deliver something special when it's time for their comeuppance.
The Blackest Heart is the second book in The Five Warrior Angels trilogy, and let me tell you, the action and violence are relentless. The worldbuilding and setting are absolutely fantastic. There is not much magic yet, so far, but it's coming when we finally get the Five Warrior Angels, the Gladiator. Assassin. Thief. Princess. And the Slave and their weapons and stones together. There is going to be a massacre.
This book has everything that you are looking for in a fantasy book series, from unbelievable twists and turns, jaw-dropping moments that leave you gobsmacked and glued to your seat with adrenaline.
The lore is brilliant. The characters are written brilliantly. My absolute favourites are Doakie and Liz Hen and their dog Beermug. They make a formidable team, and their camaraderie will have you in stitches with laughter.
In this book, a royal family in chaos, a country under attack, a prophecy of lies. Magic, betrayal, and epic battles. The Angel Prince has brought his five knights archaic and his armies to Gul Kana, bringing slaughter, slavery and death to all who oppose him and worship Saint Laijon.
One of our main protagonists, Nail and the
brethren set out to find the Warrior Angels weapons and stones, there will be trials and retributions along the way that will see our little party either fall or be triumphant facing all manner of obstacles in their way.
If you love dark epic fantasy. A gore ridden action-packed romp, full of battles, bloodwood assassins, dwarfs, Valae (elves), good characters, magical weapons and just some good old storytelling at its finest, then look no further, what are ye waiting for, check it out. Very highly recommended....🗡🪓🛡⚔️🏹🔥
