Gray Wolf is such a fun adventure of Corin an Fol. It starts out with his childhood and how he became a mercenary then got involved with the Gods and powerful humans, not willingly. Too bad he couldn’t just fight, drink beer and do what he does so well with the ladies. Too bad his destiny has other plans for him. Great for us it’s such a good story. The author goes into lovely descriptive detail of the world of Ansu. And he has maps too! Yeah for maps. His characters are well developed and each one so unique I feel as if I am right there with them in their travels and adventures. Great great read left me wanting more. You will not be disappointed in any of the works by J.W. Webb.
Great author!
An enjoyable read that’s focus is on the development of young ne’er do well, Corin. His tragic beginning, and development as a man. I enjoyed the fleshing out of some of the supporting characters. Easy to read, and not overly complicated. I’ll be exploring more books in the series.
Overall, a splendid fantasy tale. Set on revenge Corin* sets to right wrongs. Good world building. Enticing characters. Somewhere in there either I lost the time line or it wasn’t spelled out just so. He leaves home at said age, but yet along the way this story spans 10 years? There is not 10 years explained in this tale. The last reference of age only covers 2 years. I accidentally started the 1st book in the next series and it states it’s been 14 years since he has been home, yet one of the main time lines in the next series is referenced in the middle of Gray Wolf. I will keep note of this and change this review if the timeline somehow matches up when I am all through with reading/ listening.
I absolutely loved this fantasy. A great beginning of a series. Can’t wait to see how it continues. Do yourself a favor and read it. You will love the characters and the story line.
I listened to this book via Audible and really enjoyed. I found the storyline well written and it drew me in and kept me interested throughout. The characters are well developed and enjoyable. Looking forward to reading or listening to the next book. I highly recommend reading.
Gray Wolf: A Legends of Ansu Fantasy, my first read from author J.W. Webb an author I’d wanted to read since I got Gol: A Legends of Ansu Fantasy #1: Dawn of Legends, back in January of 2017. I got the Kindle edition of this book in January of this year & I was given an Audible copy of this book this month& am voluntarily reviewing. Since I own both the Audible & Kindle editions I was able to follow along while being read to. Andrew McDermott’s narration added to the book’s enjoyment.
