A Wild Adventure

Another awesome book by Miss Levenseller. This one is different than her previous two pirate books.
Pros:
--The fast pace, you aren't bored.
--The twists and turns it takes. It was clever and original.
--The world she created. You have enough detail to understand and be immersed, without the pages of description that make you snooze. She did it just right.
--Our leading lady
--The romance ;)
--The narrator did a great job
--The action!

For my conservative readers or those listening with kids: there was very little swearing, and no F words. There was only one passionate kissing scene, and it didn't progress beyond there. There is a main character that is homosexual, with a partner, and they do kiss, though it isn't described in detail.

I really liked it and recommend it! It is a woman warrior book, but the audience isn't just for females; I think it's a book guys would enjoy as well. I think there's a bit of everything in there for everyone.

Phenomenal book

I was so delightfully surprised by this book every step of the way. Easily one of the most compelling and strong female characters I've experienced in so long. I love that you can actually see the progress and depth of the characters with every step.

Good

I love, love, LOVE Vikings. It’s a bit frightening sometimes. This story had just enough of the feel of them to satiate that desire. The MC is tough and I liked her character development. I enjoyed the story up until the romance actually transitioned into Couple Mode. I have a difficult time with romances because while I enjoy them, they tend to get in the way of the actual story and are usually pretty juvenile. This one was fine, if leaning to the “juvenile” side pretty hard.

The narrator was the element that almost made me place this amongst my DNF graveyard. She overacted EVERYTHING and was really annoying seven hours into it. It’s better than underacting, I suppose. For the intense parts, it was great. For everything else... eh.

Fun concept that draws you in but...

The idea is similar to Hunger Games and Divergent. Also, too much of a modern agenda, "boys are dumb" and they need the princess/warrior to save them.

Excellent

I hope that people will give this story a chance it is well worth the buy I really especially enjoy how the main character is able to use reason to figure out how her enemy thinks.

Masterpiece

Love the narrator and the story. Great points hit home! Always pleased with this author!!

Wonderful!
