131 Days audiobook – 131 Days Series, Book 1

In the midst of a bustling morning commute, I found myself completely immersed in the world of 131 Days audiobook by Keith C. Blackmore. As I sat on the train, surrounded by the noise and chaos of the city, I was transported to a different time and place – a world where arena fights and gladiators ruled.

The story revolves around the Sunja pit, where men enter for various reasons – some seeking fame, others fortune, and some simply fighting for survival. The battles unfold over 131 days, with each fighter driven by their own goals and motivations. It’s a brutal game that keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering who will emerge as the ultimate champion.

Blackmore’s storytelling is nothing short of masterful. He paints a vivid picture of the arena games, capturing every detail with precision. The characters are richly developed, each with their own unique traits and backstories. You can’t help but become invested in their journeys and root for them along the way.

John Lee’s narration adds another layer of magic to this already captivating tale. His voices for each character are spot-on, making it easy to distinguish between them and truly immerse yourself in their world. It’s like listening to a full movie cast brought to life through Lee’s talented performance.

While some may argue that 131 Days is not Blackmore’s best work compared to Well Fed, I believe it stands on its own as a gripping piece of historical fiction. The book is filled with action, suspense, and even moments of great humor. The author and narrator do an excellent job of balancing these elements while keeping listeners engaged throughout.

If you’re a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels that transport you to another time and place, then 131 Days audiobook is definitely worth your time. Prepare yourself for an adrenaline-filled journey filled with twists and turns that will leave you wanting more.
