S. R. Green - Forest Kingdom Saga 3: Hawk & Fisher 6: The Bones of Haven

 

So I have finished another book. This one is called The Bones of Haven. It is the sixth book in the Hawk and Fisher series which is a part of the Forest Kingdom saga. And I enjoyed it immensely. And while it may not be as good as Beyond the Blue Moon, all the Hawk and Fisher books are good in their own way. This one takes us on a Haven SWAT team chase through a prison and then on an infiltration operation to deal with a hostage situation that has two kings captive as well as a whole bunch of other people. 

I will not even attempt to type most of the names in this book. I have listened to it in an audiobook format and well… It makes it hard to know the spelling of some of the more complicated names and this book is brimming with those. So no names. Or, almost no names. 

Like I said. It starts with a prison riot that takes Hawk and Fisher on a trip through a high-security prison and mostly that one wing that is in a separate dimension and from there, it devolves into a hostage situation with two kings that wanted to sign a peace treaty. Add in some escaped prisoners and a nasty ritual requiring mass sacrifice… Well, in the end, Hawk and Fisher need to die to reverse it. And for some reason, they are returned to life afterward. But I already knew that they won't die permanently. After all, I have read the fifth book in the Forest Kingdom Saga which still features them. Alive and relatively well. 

So, yeah. Done with Hawk and Fisher for now, but I did enjoy it and I highly recommend it to you. If you like fantasy, there's a high chance you will like this book. And not just this book. But the whole FK saga. Also, if you've read any books from Salvatore, featuring the drow Drizzt, you will definitely like this. So go and give it a try. I'm sure you will enjoy it. 

And if you want it in an audiobook format, I highly recommend the graphic audio version. It's great and I've started to look for more audiobooks like that. I have the Deathstalker saga and I think (hope) that I have that in the graphic audio format. And why is it so great? Well, it's like having a movie you can listen to. There's sound effects and while there are no visuals, you have narration to substitute for it. And then there are the many different people reading the different characters. And they are doing a great job of it! 

And I think that's it for this post. 

I will see you in the next one.
