Savage Legion

Savage Rebellion

De: Matt Wallace

Narrado por: Lameece Issaq

The acclaimed, epic, and spellbinding fantasy by Hugo Award-winning author Matt Wallace about a utopian city with a dark secret...and the underdogs who will expose it, or die trying.

They call them Savages. Brutal. Efficient. Expendable.

The empire relies on them. The Savages are the greatest weapon they ever developed. Culled from the streets of their cities, they take the ones no one will miss and throw them, by the thousands, at the empire’s enemies. If they live, they fight again. If they die, there are always more to take their place.

Evie is not a Savage. She’s a warrior with a mission: to find the man she once loved, the man who holds the key to exposing the secret of the Savage Legion and ending the mass conscription of the empire’s poor and wretched.

But to find him, she must become one of them, to be marked in her blood, to fight in their wars, and to find her purpose. Evie will die a Savage if she has to, but not before showing the world who she really is and what the Savage Legion can really do.

This remarkable and captivating fantasy will take you on a journey into the heart of brutal battles, dire situations, and odds that seem too high to overcome.

Great and Interesting Book!

An excellent book and very good reading. strong women, well-written disabled characters, ENBY characters kicking butt all in a rich, well-developed world. I highly recommend it.

Great start to a new series

Multiple fully realized female characters. Deftly handled disabled and nonbinary rep. Interesting world building. Can't wait for book 2!

Savage Legion - SO GOOD

I was first introduced to Matt Wallace though an audio recording of his short story Sundae over at PodCastle many years ago.That's the story of a WARRIOR TEDDY BEAR who protects children. I then moved on to the Sin Du Jour series which is flavored in urban fantasy. I loved that series too.

Knowing that Savage Legion is an epic fantasy, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I knew it would be gritty and well written.

I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and so feminine!

This book is extraordinary. The writing, the plot, the characters...fantastic.

This was also my first book that I've listened to that was narrated by Lameece Issaq. It will not be the last. She did an incredible job.

Savagely Wrote and Read

One of the most enjoyable listens Ive heard in a while, loved every bit of it!

Still Angry About How Good This Is

It has now been several months since I finished this book and I am still angry about how good it is. This is epic fantasy for the modern age. The world is different but the corruption, bigotry, and cracks are all too familiar. We see the world through the eyes of three women who are all badass in their own way even if only one of them swings an axe. Everyone gets to be a complex and imperfect person and the plot threads are deftly woven and form a net around the reader subtly pulling in tighter until it forms a bodysuit around you and raises the runes in your skin making you one of the Savage Legion. Read this and immediately preorder the sequel, so you can burn with fury at reading a finely crafted epic fantasy and knowing you will not be able to craft its equal.
