Loremaster: Winged Wolf

Ascension of a Street Rat, Book 2

De: M.E. Robinson

Narrado por: Pavi Proczko

Having survived his first year at Faebrook, all Rowan wants is to continue adventuring, learn more magic, and perhaps enjoy a nice apple pie every now and then.

Instead, he is swept into the political turmoil that seems to follow Morgana everywhere she goes. With assassins lurking in the shadows, dungeon dives growing ever more dangerous, and rumors of dark deeds going unpunished in the Fae homeland, it will take all of Rowan's ability just to survive.

Fortunately, he has his party at his side. Unfortunately, that means they're now in Tianna's crosshairs, and with the Fae heiress bent on Morgana's destruction, she will stop at nothing to see them fall.

I really like the pacing so far.

I like the story so far just not the aggressive cliffhanger at the end ,but overall good story with an interesting power system 👍.

Great story!

Really good story! Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Love the characters and the fact that conflicts don't have simple solutions. Magic system and power level are really well done. I really like the fact that he tells you the power increases without having to constantly provide detailed stats. This really helps keep the focus on the story rather than trying to have the reader memorize a large set of numbers.

I really like the narration but he does get out of character in some parts. not a big deal not it is noticeable.

The world gets bigger, and more exciting

As the team leaves the Academy for an adventuring semester the danger is ramping up both in the dungeons and outside them. This second book was a great follow-up. The characters continue to grow and evolve and become more intriguing. I continue to enjoy the series and will be waiting for updates on book 3.

I need the next book...

this is my favorite series so far by far. I've gotten pretty picky recently as well so that says a lot.

Cliffhangers

Great story with lots going on good character, lots of intrigue, however the story left you hanging without knowing what happened to any of the main characters

A great installment

Strongly recommend this book. The pace and plot points were well done and the characters felt relatable and interesting. The narration was fantastic Pavi Proczko did a great job as usual. The only criticism I have is trying to make a random minions death a critical matter of self doubt. It came off as slightly arbitrary. I’m looking forward to see how this series continues and where it leads.

Excellent in multiple ways

Excellent overall story! Probably 4.5 but better than others in the genre I have rated 4.0 so I upped it. (The first installment was a pure 5.) The development of Rowan's team is key, and character development starred. That includes the teacher Rowan is apprenticed to, even with a modest role. One of the team members is seriously over the top in self-righteous judgment, but I recovered from my disgust... This is a star series in 'progression fantasy adventure.' The narration from Pavi Procxko is superb. A nice, long book, worthy of a credit.

Magic, danger, and a hint of political intrigue!

“Loremaster: Winged Wolf” by M.E. Robinson delivers a thrilling continuation of Rowan’s journey, packed with magic, danger, and a hint of political intrigue. Pavi Proczko brings the world to life with a voice as engaging as the story itself, making every twist feel vivid. “All Rowan wants is to continue adventuring, learn more magic, and perhaps enjoy a nice apple pie every now and then,” but he’s in for a far more perilous adventure!

Where's 3?

Again I liked the characters. The interplay and drama going on within the group is handled well and doesn't get "eye rolling"

The one criticism is in certain detail continuity. In several of the combat scenes characters were weilding different weapons in the following scene. Unfortunately I noticed but did not time stamp those parts.

That being said, my only complaint is pretty much minutiae. I am absolutely waiting for #3!

Grounded and Fully Realized

Winged Wolf takes every thing we love about worldbuilding and merges it neatly into a progression fantasy. Some of its best moments are between the dungeons and danger, defined by great development for characters who feel like people, not plot devices. The author takes his time and it shows in the realistic portrayal of the struggle for survival in a dangerous world. From this to the nuanced exploration of grief and betrayal, its all so refreshing in a subgenre that so frequently forgets it's supporting cast.
