Story3.5 out of 5 stars 13
Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn't what the storybooks promised. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he’s not the hero, for Kihrin is not destined to save the empire. He’s destined to destroy it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 84
After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 102
Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help - the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
His vengeance against the gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive...and teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series - satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and a powerful narrative - and fuses them anew.

Publisher's Summary
Violence and death come to the land under the Northern Sky when two fierce races break their age-old fragile peace and start an all-out war in this thrilling and savagely visceral epic fantasy.
Ready or not, Roper has been thrust into a position of leadership that he's woefully ill prepared for. Now, a massive army approaches from the south, old allies turn against him, and new rivals seek to undermine his rule. Facing attack from within and without, Roper must forge reckless alliances, no matter the cost, to save his kingdom.
Bellamus is a brash but capable southern general, a commoner with the rare honor of having the discreet support of the queen. Rising quickly from the minor ranks he was born into, Bellamus leads the march on the North. Victory means glory, power, and the favor of the king, but defeat promises much worse than disgrace.
A tale of war, rivalry, and honor, The Wolf creates a world that is both familiar and uncanny - one where the fiercest enemies are always closer than they seem.
What the critics say
"The Wolf is a work of extraordinary imagination and perhaps the most captivating first novel I've ever read." (Michael Dobbs, author of House of Cards)
"An action-packed and blood-splattered tour de force.... Carew is the real deal - an exciting new voice in fantasy." (Kirkus)
"Carew's worldbuilding skills are strong and his ability to infuse even the grittiest battle scene with emotion and drive is impressive." (RT Book Reviews)

Great way to "read" a story!
Truly enjoyed this book, and was nice to be able to listen at night without lights and just relax and immerse myself in the story.

One fantastic character....... solid first act......
1st act great.
2nd act boooring
3rd act decent.
Honestly one character uptrend is why I kept listening to this book. He alone carried the book. This is the first fantasy book of 7 that I have actually finished. I did so in 4 days. One thing I hate is the author will build up a HUGE problem and then BOOOM one thing will magically fix it. Also descriptions of an entire battle is missing.... this is done for a point. Also not strong female characters..... saying that the main character I am literally cheering for. I also cheer for the man from the soul belamus..... though it made no sense why they never just made an alliance. I honestly felt more terror from potential military coups than I did from the full scale battles.

Descriptions of battles are totally omitted in this novel
I listened through chapter 11 and there are two major problems with this book.
1. There were two large full scale battles which the author omitted ALL details. He simply says there will be a battle then the next chapter picks up after the battle is finished. I’ve never seen an author do such nonsense before. I was starting to think I had gotten an abridged version of the book or something. Lol. Unfortunately that was not the case and it was an unabridged version so its a overall not a book worth reading considering the whole story is about a war thats going on.
2. The story is so simplistic. Its almost written as a kids book.

Best War Book To Date
From intro to final sentence, this story of two clashing powers will keep you on your toes. Lots of battle, a little romance, and a plethora of story lines make this book one for the ages. It's like listening to a movie!

Fantastic Book!
I prefer historical fiction, especially books about Norse and Danish Vikings. I have all but exhausted my options with Audible. Since finishing James L Nelson's Norse Saga Series, I've been on the search for another really good book. Leo Carew's The Wolf is not historical fiction, however, it is an excellent book. It blends a bit of Saxon history with an alternate past, making it fantastic. Matt Addis does a wonderful job narrating the book as well. You will not want to stop listening to this one. I am currently listening to the second book, The Spider, and I hope the will be a third in this series!

Adverbs are of the devils tongue.
I've nearly finished the first chapter, after being bored to death by the prologue, maybe it's better read than listened to. maybe it's falling short in character oomph, or even just the story's hook. So far all I know is that theres too many adverbs. It's perfectly alright to use dialogue to describe how the characters feeling rather than narrating it 'halfassedly'. See what i did there? Terrible. but other than that I'd say the story probably gets better and I'll re-edit once I've finished the book. Good luck Mr. Carew.
ps. Matt Addis, You sir, have an incredible narrating voice! Loving the accents, emphasis, and general accoutrement (metaphorically).
