About this listen

It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be.

A chance encounter with an ancient and mysterious object awakens a latent gift, and Wulfric's life changes course. Against a backdrop of war, tragedy, and an enemy whose hatred for him knows no bounds, Wulfric will be forged from a young boy into the Wolf of the North. This is his tale.

Great Tale

An enjoyable yarn, with good world building. I am looking forwards to seeing more of the world in the following books.

Narration felt sped up though, so played at 80% speed for a more relaxed telling.

Great world building.

Our hero Wulfric treads a path familiar to anyone who has read much of this genre. He follows a tough course through his "coming of age" which is populated by rivals, enemies and naturally a love interest too.  The building of his world is not hugely detailed but interesting nonetheless including some of the customs of Wulfric's village. Magic is there but handled with a light touch.  It's all told in a direct and straightforward approach making this easy listening fantasy.  The narration by Simon Vance is very good with a wide variety of voices though some of them sounded a bit weak and wheedling to me.

Even if it isn't going to set the genre alight this book made for a pleasant read.  It ends this first part of the story with a good setup and it did actually develop the politics of the village and those it interacts with in an interesting way.  If what I've written sounds in any way dismissive it's not meant to be.  This was an enjoyable audiobook and I'll likely follow the series as more is released.  It's just not one I would place alongside a Sanderson or Abercrombie though to be fair there aren't many that I would!

I just left another review on Duncan M Hamilton’s latest book and realised I hadn’t reviewed this series of books. These are rich, full and fantastically written books. The author has amazed me with how easily he can grab your attention and captivate you within the first few pages and you don’t want to put it down. The narration brings the characters to life, brilliantly narrated. Out of the many books I’ve now listened to, Simon Vance is easily one of the best narrators out there, the characters are in the room with you. Can not fault this series!

Fantastic All Round
