Wolf Blade: Oath of the Slayer: Wolf Blade Series, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

To start off with, this book has action. Yeah, there's a little bit of politicking as the hero wades thru all kinds of stuff on his quest to do the right thing for his ….ahhhh…..small city. Along the way he gets a couple of women to tag along. Interestingly enough, they aren't were-creatures. In fact, the power wielding ability is kind of minimal throughout this book and it comes down to swords, hammers, maces and knives. I should say that the good guy is a pretty badass sentient werewolf who's main enemy is some kind of super Orc. The sex scenes are pretty graphic so it's not a book for sensitive souls. At least he isn't doing some strange woman every other page. The women are strong in their own right and boss the big guy around. As I said, it's a fun book. I already bought the second one and I'll post a review for that. I'll like them until the author uses cliffhangers" . All in all, the book was pretty well handled.

this is the first book of the series and is handled well. the world building is well handled and thought out customs and such are place when needed and the main character is likeable not over powered nor are his companions I have high hope for this author in the future

Great 👍book . It's hard to find a really good s& w books.I am ready for the next one .

Loved it. The sequels are even better. Only thing I have to complain about is certain sections of prose that felt like they needed one more pass with the polish. Nothing specific, just a general sense of, "This is nice, but I feel like it could've been worded better or more efficiently." Hence, not a perfect score, as I did put it down a few times while reading to take a break, but a solid story nonetheless.

Fighting his way to freedom from the empire that captured him, Rothan must free himself from treachery and carve out his new life in the home of his ancestors. Lots of fun and adventure and I’m already on the second in the series!

Sometimes you just want to read a book that is just straight up fun reading. This is that book. Enjoy it

Wolf Blade is fair. As a light sword-n-sorcery fantasy, it works. The main character, Rothan, is essentially a Viking who we're introduced to as a gladiator. He'd been captured by the Empire (read, Rome) and was working off his time as a very successful gladiator. Cool.The good: good plot --- escape from gladiator hell, save girl, return home. Meet new challenges and political intrigue due to crazed Jarl and Orc invasion. All solid ideas. Hot girls and pretty good action/combat scenes. All in all, a very promising beginning.The not good: Rothan is a moron. Who loses. A lot. He loses at his last gladiatorial combat (due to painfully obvious cheating). He loses his fight escaping from the city and is saved by his father's men. He loses a battle of wits with his Jarl (forcing him to take on an impossible task). He loses his argument with his father when said father is unjustly arrested. Having completed his quest, he loses his opportunity to wed the Jarl's daughter AND his opportunity to be Jarl. Then, finally, the book ends with him losing AGAIN, as he is taken prisoner by the king's servants.Rothan is a jackass who cannot see threats and has all the ruthlessness of a plush My Little Pony doll. Really? A freaking killer-Viking-gladiator-werewolf can't man up and be in charge? Who wouldn't tell the Jarl's daughter to go piss up a rope? Who wouldn't get rid of the current Jarl and take over? REALLY?I liked the beginning, so I'm hoping in book 2 he pulls his head out of his ass.

Loved it more than words can display. Haven’t read any this good since Micheal Scott Earle got banned great book
