Kings of the Wyld (The Band #1)
Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help. His daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.
While reading this book I made the following status update, and as I progressed through Kings of the Wyld it only became more true: You know when you've tried a bunch of different soup brands that all have delicious looking labels but taste like shit, and finally you find a soup that tastes as good as it looks? That's how reading this book feels. This is because I've read Fantasy books where the primary thing people tell me in their recommendation is "It's really funny."Books like Traitor's
This is not a choice between life and death, but life and immortality! Remain here and die in obscurity, or follow me now and live forever! There are two ways to read this book, from what I can tell. You can read it as a fantasy novel (what it indeed may have been written as), and expect a stunning well-crafted narrative of epic proportions equal to the giants of fantasy literature. And youll be horribly disappointed when you notice all the aspects in which it falls flat. There is simply too
In a year full of impressive fantasy debuts, Kings of The Wyld earned itself a top spot among the greats.As I have not been gaming for almost two decades now, a lot of the RPG and Final Fantasy references did not click with me. Regardless, I still had an awesome time reading this book. Unlike Ready Player One which I found to be enjoyable mainly because of the 80s pop culture references, Kings of the Wyld resonated with me because of its characters and story. I did get the homage to the music
massive buddy-read with cheaters who started the book early amazing people. The cake is a lie. Looking at the reviews, I could find just one review under 4 stars rating and I know only one person who didn't fall head over heels in love with this book. So welcome to my verra bitchy lonely I liked this book, but over all, it was a disappointing experience review.I adored KoW for the first 100 pages or so. The feelies every word evoked, the adorable humour, the interesting setting and most of all,
Ive started to read this book based on your recommendation! Im only 35 pages in and Im already hooked! PS I read The Poppy War also after a glowing
