The Wyrmlord's Wrath 1

De: Devan Drake

Narrado por: Jessie Van Hove, Matt Van Hove

Wynn Tunnicliffe had been all set for an awkward couple of weeks away on a retreat run by a professor he loathed in the middle of the El Dorado forest. Bags packed along with a healthy dose of cynicism.

And then the world changed. Wynn was whisked off to a dog-eat-dog tutorial, where things did not go well. Battered, broken, and left for dead, he was reforged into something new. A Wyrmblood, the first of his kind. Filled with anger and fury at what was done to him.

Dropped back where he was plucked from, this new monstrous version of Wynn will have to fight for his life, the resurrection of a new friend, and the futures of the other retreat participants.

Opportunities abound. Power, security, love, and family. Even a bit of revenge. None of that comes for free in this new world. It will need to be paid for in blood and violence.

But wrath is something Wynn is well-suited to unleash.

(Trigger warning. This series contains an anti-villain protagonist who often chooses to take advantage of situations rather than fighting for what most would consider right.)

Foreshadowing without cliffhanging

I’m glad that the first book has a bit of closure. It can work as a standalone one-shot. But also has enough enticing content for the future that you will want to invest in book 2. Really good and has smut-skip-chapters. I like that.

Liked the story hated the narrators

The story was cool and I really liked it, but good lord why are people using these narrators? One of the few pairs in the genre that are trash on both ends. The male VA has an annoying lisp and sounds crazy unnatural when saying the British slang words the author uses during spicy scenes. The female VA is just as bad. She is terrible at accents and then during the spice her volume goes up so loud I had to take my headphones out. I don’t usually like VA changes during a series but this series could use it.
