Bone Traders

Sellswords & Spellweavers, Book 1

By: Rachel Ford

Narrated by: Em Barger

A missing giant. A sinister conspiracy. A decision that will change the fate of a jarldom.

The bone trade is big business. Black market buyers will offer many silvers for fresh giant bone to carve into charms or use in dark enchantments.

When cloaked men kidnap the giant Njal Frostborn, everyone knows why. He's destined to be murdered and sold in that terrible trade.

His best friend, apprentice wizard Idun Wintermoon, is determined to save him from that terrible fate. But to do so, she must defy the head of her order and face powers far beyond her ability. To survive, she's going to need an ally. Luckily for her, Lissette Forlatt - a down-on-her-luck sellsword - is on the case. Together, they'll brave worse than the elements and rogue mages in their quest to save Njal. What they discover might shake the jarldom to its core.

If they live long enough to tell the story.

Awesome read!

for starters, the narrator was out of this world. Fabulous job. What did I dislike the most that I have to wait to get book 2. This book had a great plot and story. tHe author jumped right in to action packed adventure. The world building was done quite well to where I was not bored by it but actually enjoyed it, and the characters were very well written. This book was given to me by a story origin. To read voluntarily my opinions and views are my own. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an epic fantasy book. With a great story it’s well written it draws you in. A chance to sit down and listen/read how are you choose to put it was a book I was not able to stop once I started it was that I highly recommended and look forward to read the next one and the series.

Good Story

Thus was a good and interesting story and kept my attention throughout. The Narrator does a good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline

Rachel is first-rate!

Okay, so here's the thing...
I love Rachel's writing. She has a knack for storytelling, and I've never been disappointed in any of her books.
That said - the narrator was not quite up to the high standards Rachel sets.
Yes, the voices were good - distinct and recognizable. Unfortunately, there were too many pauses after sentences and paragraphs which interrupted the flow of the story.
I still recommend this audiobook, because Rachel!

A Giant's Bones

I was entertained by this book which was the first experience I have had with this author. I admired the worldbuilding. I felt that the use of magic was like icing on a cake and that it made the story better. I liked the characters especially the apprentice wizard, Idun Wintermoon, as she put loyalty to her friend above every consideration. I enjoyed all the twists and turns that moved the story forward. I thought Em Barger's narration was fun, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook through StoryOrigin. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this story.

interesting

an interesting one which held my interest throughout. the narration was alright, so overall I'm going to rate this a four.
