Summary

It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be.

A chance encounter with an ancient and mysterious object awakens a latent gift, and Wulfric's life changes course. Against a backdrop of war, tragedy, and an enemy whose hatred for him knows no bounds, Wulfric will be forged from a young boy into the Wolf of the North. This is his tale.

Great world building.

An enjoyable yarn, with good world building. I am looking forwards to seeing more of the world in the following books.

Narration felt sped up though, so played at 80% speed for a more relaxed telling.

Solid and enjoyable

No big the world is doomed plots or complex intertwining narratives (refreshing). Instead a grounded and enjoyable story about a warrior and his village. Only slight qualm is why main characters in fantasy are so often soppy romantics bound in platonic love. Narrator was very good.

Good but not great

A really good yarn. Likeable characters and a decent story. Narration is excellent. The only reason I have not rated it 5 star is: Not descriptive enough. When there are battles they are over far too quickly and with no real details given. I never found the fights to be gripping.
