This build-up was done too well that it did lead me to believe that the climax sequence could have been better if it received more pages. The buildup to the climax, in particular, was just fantastic. Have I mentioned that there are a lot of magnificent action sequences in the book? Every action scene felt intriguing, dynamic, and engaging. Picture: Clay Cooper Charges the Rasks by Felix Ortiz Whether it’s out of friendship, conviction, or other motivation, I love how these types of characters-despite their reluctance and circumstances-are willing to do what’s right. It’s one of the reasons why he’s my favorite character of the book he’s even included in my personal list of my favorite book protagonists. Reluctant heroes have always been one of my favorite protagonist traits in a story Clay Cooper fits into this category perfectly. IF I have to choose one favorite character, it will have to be the main POV character, Clay Cooper. But as a band they were something more, something perfect in its own intangible way” “As individuals they were each of them fallible, discordant as notes without harmony. Like a vacation or road trip you take with your best friends who will always wait for you, every time I took a break from reading it, I found myself compelled to pick it back up again to continue my tour with the Band. However, when it comes down to it, what made me really attached to Saga was their brotherhood, friendship, loyalty, and familial love. The witty banter between these characters, their puns, and their random behaviors never failed to entertain me. They are unique, lovable, believable, and compelling to read. And I can certainly say that this is a book with lovable characters, gripping battles, intricate world-building, and well-polished prose.Įvery character in the book, whether it’s the five members of Saga or the side characters, managed to make me really care about their fate and circumstances, and Eames did this all within the span of a single book. It’s safe to say that I’m genuinely pleased by the narrative Eames has crafted a superlative blend of marvelous actions, hilarious humor, and tension. One moment you’re smiling or laughing, and before you realize it, you’ll be holding your breath or on the brink of tears. Eames knows how to shifts the reader’s emotions swiftly. You should know, though, that despite the book being very humorous with its pun and dark comedy, Kings of the Wyld shouldn’t be viewed as a complete comedy fantasy. It’s a rarity to read a novel capable of making me grin like a fool throughout the whole novel while also making me tense within those same pages. Kings of the Wyld is a rollicking adventure that managed to raise a variety of emotions ranging from happiness to poignancy within me. This quest will require the Band to get back together for one more tour across the Heartwyld, a gigantic forest full of a plethora of monsters, beasts, and many other deadly sentient beings. One day, Gabriel-one of Clay’s ex-bandmates-arrived at Clay’s place asking for help on a dangerous quest to save his daughter.

Now, replace the rock bands and concerts with mercenary bands and killing monsters. Imagine this: legendary rock bands that have disbanded-such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, or Nirvana-coming back for one more tour.
