A review by chromatick
The Bard's Blade by Brian D. Anderson
4.0
This was a really good start to this new series. The story follows a young 19'ish couple that are in love and innocent to the evils of the world because they grew up in a land that has a magical barrier around it preventing all access into or out of the outside world. Of course something happens that compels them to venture beyond that magical border.
In some ways this book is a bit old school. It's got the 'chosen one(s)' and a great evil that is rising and threatening all that we know and love. However it does offer a couple new things to shake it up and the love story part of the book is pretty well done. There is some nice world building and by the end of the novel I was definitely wanting to know more about where these two characters go from here now that their innocence has been shattered.
The audio narration was excellent for this one as well.
