Armageddon

The Bleed #3

by David Moody, Chris Philbrook, Mark Tufo

Reality after reality is being destroyed by THE BLEED. With their options narrowing by the second, and with their group scattered far and wide across the multiverse, it's down to less than 10 people to try and save the lives of billions upon billions of others.

If they fall, THE BLEED will rule. Nothing and no one else will survive.

IT ALWAYS BLEEDS THROUGH. THREE WORLDS. THREE AUTHORS. THE ULTIMATE APOCALYPSE.

Genres: Science Fiction, Horror, Audiobook

About the author

David Moody first released Hater in 2006, and without an agent, succeeded in selling the film rights for the novel to Mark Johnson (producer, Breaking Bad) and Guillermo Del Toro (director, The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth). Moody's seminal zombie novel Autumn was made into a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. He has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world and likes to write books about ordinary folks going through absolute hell. With the publication of continuing Hater and Autumn stories, Moody has cemented his reputation as a writer of suspense-laced SF/horror, and "farther out" genre books of all description.

My Opinion: The horror potential is all there, no denying it. But the execution… the story felt dull, lacking some kind of twist, spice, anything to make it less, well, common. Because it is common. You’ve read this story before, you watched this story before, and now you have it here again. It’s not always a bad thing if the author puts their own twist on it. This felt more like a skin change than a twist. Uniquely skilled heroes. Universal paradox of future shaping the past. And an enemy spawning multiverse. Don’t get me wrong, it’s well written. It’s just not interesting, there’s just nothing there to make it a good book. Some fun things to entertain you, but that’s about that. Glad I’m done with it, only very mild regrets about reading it.

A 2 out of 5, glad this is over. Not sure it’s worth the trouble getting through the trilogy. This year’s motto is very much not wasting my time on things I don’t enjoy.

This was a decent ending to The Bleed series, the characters were fun, the story was vibrant and fast paced and everything was nicely resolved. Admittedly I found this to be the weakest of the books, parts of the writing felt a bit rushed and some of the dialogue was kinda corny, but overall it was an enjoyable ending to the series.

GREAT CONCLUSION!

What a satisfying conclusion to an epic tale of good vs evil with Gods, Half Gods, Demons and other out of this world creatures. The characters drew you into their personalities so well I found myself shedding tears over the losses of certain demons and creatures.

I really liked this book and this series, it had good storylines and great characters (a giant red one to start that list). I felt like in book one if you looked hard enough you could tell the authors apart (which isn't a negative and wasn't a problem) but by this book the authors styles and stories had blended together so well I couldn't tell them apart.

I'll have to binge reread this series in the future to recapture the full story.

Decent conclusion to the trilogy, and yet, I'm sort of feeling like that was too easy in the end. I enjoyed the story, and the entire trilogy, but I'm not sure about the eventual ending. Hmmm... Thus, this one drops to just a 3 star for me. Still OK, still wouldn't hesitate to encourage people to check it out, but the big finish just didn't quite deliver as satisfyingly as I'd hoped. Hard to describe why - just a gut feel.

Perfect ending

Great series with an absolutely insane ending!! Hopefully some of the characters will be seen again in future stories, already miss them!

Way too many inconsistencies and the ending, well, it kind of sucks.

Liked this one much better than the middle book. Again I will praise the narration, it was fantastic.
