Rage of Lions

De: Curtis Jobling

Narrado por: Ciaran Saward

A ruined kingdom, an avenging king . . . and a hero's destiny

After discovering he's the long-lost son of the murdered Wolf King and leading a revolt against the tyrant King Leopold the Lion, Drew Ferran must rule over a kingdom in disarray. But the former shepherd has mixed feelings about taking his place on the throne. In the wake of a vicious attack by Leopold's son, Prince Lucas, Drew seizes the opportunity to flee his obligations in pursuit of the renegade prince. Along the way, Drew and his allies face lawless Werelords, a sinister necromancer, and a nation of invading Catlords determined to wrest power from Drew's paws. Unless Drew faces up to his kingship, all of Lyssia will be lost.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the Wereworld series by Curtis Jobling:

Rise of the Wolf
“Jobling’s debut initiates a sure-to-be-long series of Wereworld tales, pure fantasy adventure with plenty of horror in the mix…this will find broad appeal among lovers of adventure fantasy, especially those mourning the end of John Flanagan's Ranger’s Apprentice.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] rousingly gory heroic fantasy…there are plenty of brutal fights for action lovers, and the quest has some stirring moments. Give this series opener to fans of Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice series.”—Booklist

“In this thrilling middle-grade debut, first in the Wereworld series, British author/illustrator Jobling (the designer of the Bob the Builder TV series) creates a memorable new setting in which were-creatures rule…a thoroughly enjoyable adventure that makes particularly inventive use of its shape-shifter elements and mythology.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Even reluctant readers should enjoy Wereworld as the first in a new series…as a fantasy world it is superior to Eragon, and pure fun.”—The Times (London)

“The nail-biting pace and plot turns will keep the reader wondering exactly how Drew will resolve it all…there is enough romantic heat, girl power, and vulnerable tough guys to guarantee interest from the Twilight crowd.”—BCCB

“This first book in the series hits all the bases for a fairy tale with fangs…this will be a popular book, particularly for the young sword and sorcery fan contingent.”—Library Media Connections

“Assured and lively enough to captivate with its strong world building and approachable language…will draw followers to the sequel like Drew to a damsel in distress.”—VOYA

“Can he write it? Yes, he can!...a good mix of the traditional pre-industrial society with shape-shifters, and looks like it could be the start of a very fun ride.”—Geek Dad on Wired.com

Rage of Lions
“Give Jobling a… hand for crafting a sequel that’s even more lurid and action packed than the opener.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Game of Thrones for the tween set...”—School Library Journal

Shadow of the Hawk
“Plotlines and were-creatures proliferate …there’s enough spilled blood and shape changing here to appease the most demanding fans of either.”—Booklist

Great Story!!

Love that this good is now on Audible!! I can’t wait for the others to be recorded……! I’ll be waiting patiently for book 3.

Keep it up

Hope there is more to follow, very interested in the take on the shifters. Hope there is more character development in the books to come.

please make more!

loved the storyline and can't wait for book 3! this series needs to be completed! I've read this series multiple times and can't wait to hear the rest on audio!

Stop calling this Game of Thrones. It's nothing like Game of Thrones

I don't remember what fool coined the term "Game of Thrones for the tween crowd," but it's about as accurate as comparing Super Mario to Dark Souls because you found a few levels hard. This is a very by-the-numbers true king fantasy story. The good guys are good and Noble, the bad guys are bastards, and there's very little moral ambiguity to them. That said, if you want a gory fantasy epic that doesn't need you to use your brain, then you'll be pleased with Wereworld.

Wow-

Incredibly obsessed with the story! I absolutely love the direction this series is going in and I enjoy the narrators voice!

Compelling story & characters

Great book and series! 🤗 Please release the remaining audiobooks soon! 😱😥 Can’t wait for the Netflix series! This is my new favorite series rivaling my love for the Pendragon Adventure series! Wereworld has definitely earned its spot on my bookshelf as well as my heart! lol I’m torn between reading ahead or waiting for the next audiobooks!

the way they set the scene and mood between charechters as well as the pacing of the book kept me on the edge of my seat

Just a great series shame they don't have the next books available on audiobook though

More!!

This narrator is astounding, listening to the audiobook after reading this series multiple times through is giving me a newfound love for a series I’ve cherished for years.
I really hope the rest of the books come out with audio editions soon! I can hardly wait.

The storyline and the twist

I like the author a lot. I appreciate his creative mond to think deeply on the story and his willingness to let characters fade away. well written waiting for the other books to be done in audio.

Can’t like a character

The issue I had is that I would find a character then the died, I get having to show stakes are high but killing the wry one off to just show people die kinda sucks
