Feral Mage

The Red Pine Kingdom Contract, Book 1

De: Chase Kilgore

Narrado por: Mandy McCullough

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

That’s the old human saying anyway. For Bryce, it’s a little more literal. He’s a Feral Mage, someone who gains the abilities of monsters by devouring them. This magic has allowed him to excel as a mercenary, rising to the top rank of the guildhall.

Bryce finds more than he bargained for while taking what should have been a simple job. Accompanied by a feral wolfkin and a wannabe monster hunter kitsune, he tries to escort a young snow elf woman to the Red Pine Kingdom. Between monsters, criminals, and a pissed-off swordswoman, danger is an inevitability. The further Bryce gets into this job, the more dangerous it becomes. With the deck stacking against them, there’s only one ace up their sleeves.

BRYCE IS A BIT OF A MONSTER...OR SEVERAL.

A new type fantasy

This book and the MC brings a new angle to the fantasy genre. The MC is more than he seems at first and the cute wolfie girl is great. This is a great first book in a new epic adventure. Cant wait for the story to continue.

I love Vex

Great story and the narrator was amazing. Omlete? My Bryce.. wow... Wish there were more audio books ready

Great first new book in series

Enjoyed the book with its interwoven stories all leading to a bigger plot. Looking forward to book 2. The love interests are enjoyable and can’t wait for more people to join the pack.

Different but great

I didn’t expect to like this book during the first chapter but it very quickly gets good.

Good for the genre

I like the fact that this harem themed book has some deeper plot to it. It flirts with too much cutesy stuff but manages to get across the finish line

Good story overall

This book/audiobook needed a bit more editing. There are words that were likely autoincorrected, and the beginning is slow. An editor should have told the author to polish the first couple chapters. The voice actor struggles with pronunciation, timing/punctuation, and maybe changing a few words.
That said, its a good story that once it gets up to speed does a great job. This book is right on the edge of being a solid and well crafted story. Now that the author has hit hus stride, I would bet the second one is exactly that.

Turned out way better than I expected.

It is a slow build up and the MC is not your overpowering trope. He is strong and has insane potential but his character is actually respectable.

A Great introduction To this New World

Overall a great fist Book, Characters are well thought out they each have there own personalities and distinct place in the story, no extras walking around wondering why they are there

Voice Actress knows her business and she does it well, every character has there own voice and she uses drama and emotion when it is called, for she speaks softly in the quiet moments and the editor adds sounds effects for battle ringing bells ect..

The story does not seem to move to quickly, like some in the fantasy area do, you can get a sense of the area of the world that is described logging towns capitol cities ect... and i was eve surprised by a few of the things that happened and how it all turned out, which of course is a plus, all around a goo start, waiting for book 2

amazing start to hopefully a long series!

this book took me by surprise as it differs from what I'm used to and this genre but not in a bad way by no means. would love to see dual narration done at some point just for a better differentiation between voices.

It's fun.

the Escapism of the fantasy genre/world is respected nothing feels like it's dragging me back to current day feels like another world the races are different enough to not be reskinned humans so everything Fantasy should be.
the character on the cover is great.

the narrator sounds a bit too whiney at times lowering her score from a solid 4 stars performance. she did good with everything else has far has a solo narrator goes in my opinion.
