Publisher's summary

Every city has its dangers. But in the city of Embrenil, the thieves steal eyesight as well as coin. No one knows why its citizens are being mystically blinded. Is it merely a way to make victims easier to rob? Or are these blindings part of a greater conspiracy? With no leads and options limited, the Embrenil Civic Police enlist the aid of four supernatural individuals to solve the case and combat the dark powers of the Mystic Mafia. This first volume in the series introduces a team like no other as they seek answers, get wrongly accused, get drunk, get lucky, fight undead assassins, protect a vain beer baron, battle powerful theurges, fall from high places, and learn the secrets that threaten the entire city. In a world where anything is possible, the truth becomes harder to find.

This is the first volume in the Four Winds-One Storm saga.

Wow, what a story!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. I could find no flaws in either the writing or the narration in this fantastic story. This tale is truly very entertaining.

very different

Would be difficult to add anything new to the reviews. Well written and really good narration. Author created a really new and different world. Narration is spot on throughout.

A New World

At first I struggled to keep up with all the characters . Eventually it all came together, which is not unusual when you start a new series. I found it humorous, with interesting on the side. A good mix of fantasy/sci-fi.
The narrator did an good job, also.
All and all, I found it to be a good audio listen. Long enough to want more, and not wonder "is that it"
This audio was given to me free at my request, and I voluntarily gave this review.

Great book.

Four different people come together. Full of magic, fighting and heroes. A must. The story and narration are perfect together.

Amazing Book!

Aaron is incredible! in every way, this captivating read is a must! This is just one of his incredible stories :)

Someplace Else

Four Winds-One Storm is one of the most unique books that I have ever read. Imagine a fantasy in a western setting. Now add in that almost every character comes from one of the diverse humanoid races with their own special abilities and history. The world is vivid and the characters are extremely individualizes and relatable. That whole story leaves you with the impression that the author hated tropes so vehemently that he would avoid anything that was even related to one. The only down side is that it can be hard to follow the story at times due to the bizarre world. Overall it is a great book that is creative and fun and I will be reading the next one.
I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
Morality rating- Four Winds-One Storm contains sexuality, sex, some language, and lots of violence.

An entertaining tale!

I just finished listening to this book, and have to say I fully enjoyed the story. Fans of podcasts like Critical Roll will enjoy. The story reads out like a Wild-West/Steampunk/Dungeons & Dragons adventure. The book has a great balance of humor, plot-twists, and adventure. Overall very pleased, and would absolutely recommend for an enjoyable tale!

Clint Eastwood hangs out with Gandalf

I'm not saying that this is a western, but man, this fantasy sure has some western overtones. And that is great, I love melding genres. Hollingsworth has proven to be a real favorite for me, and I think I can say that everything he has produced has been a real winner. Vito really rocks out doing the narration. He slaps in some special effects, accents, voices, etc. He's really good at his craft, and he accentuates Hollingworth's style. I mean Hollingsworth creates a whole new language and Vito doesn't even blink.

I really could rave on and on about the characters, the story, the magic, the mystery, but the truth is, all you need to know is that this is an amazing book, and that you should be reaading it right now. So, no spoilers or attempts to condense the plot. Just me telling you that Hollingsworth is an amazing writer, nd Vito nails the narration. This is like a buffett of all your favorite food served piping hot and perfectly cooked, so don't waste time considering whether or not you should get this, JUST DO IT. Then, get Hollingsworth other stuff and enjoy life to the fullest.

Great new western sci fi fantasy

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a really interesting new series. It is an interesting mix of genre, part western, part fantasy, part distopian future sci fi... but it works! The narrator was decent. He started out a little rough but quickly found his mark and the rest of the book was great.

Lovely new world!

I really liked this book. there were many new characters/races that I've never read about before. I love fresh new takes on fantasy/sci-fi. Don't get me wrong, I love to read and reread my favorites like Jim Butcher, Anne McCaffrey, Kim Harrison, and Laurell K Hamilton. Usually I read urban fantasy, not western anything. But I really enjoyed the new (to me) setting of this book. Plenty of action, and some mystery. there's even a tiny bit of romance, very brief. I'd love to learn more back story on the characters, there's definitely more to be told about at least 2 of the characters. I hope the author, Aaron Hollingsworth gets another book published very soon! in the meantime, I'll be listening to the book again, see if I can find more clues about character histories, and enjoy this wild new world all over again!
