Publisher's summary

Arriving in the town of Lenos, Lawrence and Holo take a respite from their travels north—but a true businessman never rests! It isn't long before an opportunity for profit presents itself to Lawrence, one that could fulfill his dreams of owning his own establishment. But as always, the promise of great reward carries great risk—and risk is never greater than when one plans to use a wisewolf as collateral! As Lawrence and Holo feel the ties binding them stretched thin, has the time come for the pair to go their separate ways?

Another great installment

Further cementing my absolute adoration for the series, J Michael Tatum and Brina Palencia are amazing, and I am filled with nostalgia for the anime that they voiced so long ago.

I am incredibly excited for the next book!

Another good book

A good story continues. This volume is more about how Lawrence and Holo keep avoiding to say how they feel towards the other. Was a great change from prior volumes.

Another fantastic story and narration

With this novel, the part of the Spice and Wolf story that most anime fans are familiar with comes to a close. Some of the narrative choices in the novel are much better than the anime, though! The narration of this, and the previous books, is truly outstanding. J. Michael and Brina bring the story to life in a way no other narrative pair could, due to their work on the anime series. In general, the story Hasekura sensei has crafted out of medieval economic, religious, and political building blocks with these two fantastic characters at the center is a thing of beauty! I really don't know that there is another series of novels like it. I can't recommend it enough!

Wonderful Work, Per Usual

Loved it, keep it up! The cast, writing and production were all wonderful. I need more!

really enjoyable listen to

very well narrated enjoyable story I can understand how it became an anime very very good

Great story but.......

Oh, this isn't a negative review like you were probably thinking it was going to be, but more of a can we please get ether a collection or sone way of not having to spend so many credits for the seires. I just hope that the narrators are getting paid as much as they can if I'm having to spend a lot of credits and I know voice actors and narration work isn't as recognized as it should be on that end. So do consider recommending the seires to your friends if you know they are fans of the anime, manga or of similar shows or works.

Story that will live older than time it self.

Spice and wolf storyline is one of my favorite. Complexity in the characters is amazing

Another Amazing Spice & Wolf Audiobook

I have the entire novel collection and I am eagerly await each new audiobook as they release. The voice acting is stellar as always and the story engrossing. It brings my heart a lot of joy hear the interactions between Holo and Lawrence.

I can’t wait for the next one!

Please and Thank You

story: fantastic and unique combination of romance, economics, historical fiction, supernatural, and adventure. The dialogue is witty and makes me think. Doesn't beat you over the head with the meaning to every little thing. Good job, author!

Production: Tatum and Palencia *are* the characters and they do a fantastic job narrating and voicing the various characters. I hope they continue to voice their roles for the audio books and the upcoming remake of the show. There really is no replacing them. Even if it takes longer and a delay is necessary, PLEASE go to the trouble of working with them again. It is well worth the wait for not only a superior product, but the perfect one. Good job, actors! (and production staff!)

Great sequel

Loved hearing holo voice actress looking for forward to her next book it can’t come any quicker
