Publisher's summary
The Bard's Blade is the start of the new Sorcerer's Song fantasy adventure series from Brian D. Anderson, best-selling author of the Godling Chronicles and Dragonvein.
Mariyah enjoys a simple life in Vylari, a land magically sealed off from the outside world, where fear and hatred are all but unknown. There, she's a renowned wine maker, and her betrothed, Lem, is a musician of rare talent. Their destiny has never been in question. Whatever life brings, they will face it together.
Then, a stranger crosses the wards into Vylari for the first time in centuries, bringing a dark prophecy that forces Lem and Mariyah down separate paths. How far will they have to go to stop a rising darkness and save their home? And how much of themselves will they have to give up along the way?

Story
An enforcer wanted dead for crimes she didn’t commit.... An assassin wanted dead for crimes he did commit.... Normally, they would be enemies, but they both seek the same thing: exoneration. Unfortunately, a nefarious underground organization is attempting to kill the one man who could grant it to them - the emperor. If they want to win their freedom, they’ll have to battle powerful wizards, outscheme master schemers, and defeat bloodthirsty monsters, all while dodging friendly fire and evading the law. Exoneration isn’t easy.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

But Paksenarrion could never have become a fighter at all had it not been for he who had come before: Gird, the liberator, who taught his people that they could fight - and win - against their Mage-born rulers. And after Gird came one more: Luap, Gird's sworn follower and the king's half-breed bastard. Riven by internal conflict, Luap dare not lie and cannot tell the truth, nor face the future.

really enjoyed it!
I won't give a synopsis of the story nor will I provide illuminating commentary on the writing and story structure; I lack these skills. I will say that I'm an avid reader of this genre and sometimes struggle to find a series that keeps me going throughout my day. This book is one of those rare gems I find on Audible; a story that is captivating and keeps me transfixed. I expect the next in the series to be just as good. The narration is also excellent !

I enjoyed listening to the Bard's Blade by Brain D. Anderson. It is an interesting tale about a young man who crossed a magical barrier to try and save the people he loves. It tells his story and the story of the girl he loves.

Something new
This is a new take on a journey adventure very various twists and turns along the way. Honestly, i didn't expect the story to go where it went, but the two readers made me want to continue listening, Can't wait for the next one!

Big Downer
The writing here is above average. I liked the use of magic being as low key as it was. However there were two factors that kept me from getting more than half way through before having to put the book aside.
1. The two main characters are both idiots. They walk into a new world and are naive. But they get into situations that were just implausible.
2. The villains here were just so evil it was impossible to understand why they were acting so badly or follow their motives.
The bleakness of watching these two characters stupidly fall under the sway of one evil person after another on separate story tracks just left me depressed and angry at the characters for being dolts.

Mediocre
Angsty teenage drama: check.
"Dramatic moments" and major plot points depend on characters not taking 5 minutes to catch each other up: check.
The 2 narrators individually are ok. No real complaints about their performances. Honestly the author could have just stuck with the woman narrator. She had a larger range of character voices.
The ending is entirely predictable and could have been resolved better in any of a hundred ways.

Disappointment made real.
Think would like this more if I was younger.
Yet this book felt more like a Disney cartoon than a book. The bad guys turned up to 11 and just being bad for badness sake. The main characters felt more like caricatures than characters. They kept making poor decisions and getting themselves involved in bad situations over and over. Once or twice can be explained by how sheltered they are. Yet several times over the course of a couple years of gaining experience. Oof. Was very hard to feel empathy or like them when they acted that way. Lots of eye rolling at some of the plot devices.
Much cringe. Disappointed.

Like waiting for paint to dry
I found this story incredibly boring, I lost interest after 30 minutes and fell asleep and stopped listening after 1 hour. If I ever wanted to either watch grass grow or wanted to watch paint drying on the wall then this is what I will listen to, sorry -5 out of 10
