Wolf Soldier: Volume 1

"Spiritual battle has much in common with physical battle. No one should face either alone." This is the first book by James R Hannibal for me and I can see why he has such a following. The author has created an intricate fantasy world where the supernatural and the natural meld; his gift with words really shines as he leads the readers through different languages, lessons in this complex world's history, reasons behind the mission, and what the future may hold. Though based on a game, you do not need to know about the game world to appreciate this world that the author has created. It reads like an allegory and I strongly encourage all readers to take the time to appreciate the Author's Note at the end. With relatable and lovable characters, fast-moving plot with plenty of action and twists, easy-to-read writing style, and fantastic backdrop of knights, dragons, orcs, and goblins, this book with draw you in from page one and leave you hungry for the second book. I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters in the Lightraider class though most of this story was centered around Connor, Teegan, and Kara. I loved how each character had a strength and a weakness and how they became strong together to do the almost impossible. There are lots of faith lessons here that are truly encouraging. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book! I received the book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are solely my own.
