Story4.5 out of 5 stars 161
Kelvin Wiltshire lives the life of a simple cook in a remote village on the far side of Trendham. The townsfolk think little of the man and his son and believe him to be just another refugee from the Terabinian war. On cold winter nights, they share rumors of the bloody conflict and the mysterious death of Will Cartwright, the mighty mage who had the power to command storms. They like the new cook. They fear the fallen king. But the two men are one and the same.

A really great return to the series, and a real highlight after the letdown of the last book. Feel like everyone is heading in the right direction.

Story5 out of 5 stars 365
The story of the Warner Brothers studio is the story of the American dream - an immigrant family who escaped a violent beginning, and arrived penniless in America, only to conquer its newest and most lucrative art form. The Warner formula was simple - to thrill audiences with stories torn straight from the headlines, and as such, Warner Studios became the home of the crime film.

Incredible. Storytelling At It’s Finest.

One of the greatest stories I've ever heard.
Reviewed: 27-05-20
This story took me by surprise. I had no idea about the beginnings of this family, and I mostly picked up the podcast as an actor, interested to hear little things about what the world was like back then. I didn't realized the epic adventure I was in for. This made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me feel anger, but also at times made me happy. There's so much to unpack in this story, but the narration is so perfect that by the end you just feel like you were a part of it all.

A rags-to-riches tale, Jonah's journey spans the breadth of human experience, from the intricacies of Edward III's political intrigues to the cutthroat world of international trade, from the triumphs of war to the agonies of personal loss - love, friendship, joy, heartbreak and glory. Set largely in London, the Scarlet City, the centre of medieval England, the Scarlet City trilogy is a thrilling portrait of the age and the people who made it so rich, colourful and extraordinary.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 125
Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

I loved every second of this, and frankly was the right book that I needed at the very right time. It's hard to find people in this business that'll take a moments pause to give you a helping hand, so when big things like this come my way...... Thank you, Jenna - thank you.

Once in a generation epic.
Reviewed: 18-08-19
I find it hard to find a great series that you can sink your teeth in to and spend hours reading or listening to, dreaming of the characters. So authors get so close, but often fall short just be a hairs breadth.
This, is no one of those instances.
I was recommended Saints Blood by my sister, and after finishing it off in a matter of days, proceeded to devour the entire series over the last month.
I regret nothing.
I love this story.
I love these characters.
I already miss them, and I can't wait to see them again - like long lost friends.

The Greatcoats - legendary heroes, arbiters of justice...or notorious traitors? The Greatcoats are travelling magistrates bringing justice to all...or at least they were, before they watched the Dukes impale their King's head on a spike. Now the land's heroes are reviled as traitors, their Greatcoats in tatters. Facio, Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as mercenaries, but when they find their employer dead - and are forced to watch as the killer plants evidence framing them for the murder - they realise things are about to get even worse.
