Spice and Wolf, Vol. 4

By: Isuna Hasekura, Paul Starr

Narrated by: J. Michael Tatum, Brina Palencia

Continuing their journey north, Lawrence and Holo stop in the village of Tereo in hopes of finding a local abbey where they might uncover more information regarding the fate of Holo's ancient home, Yoitsu. Soon after their arrival, though, the companions are caught up in a local dispute between Tereo and the neighboring town of Enberch that could cost Lawrence and Holo both their fortunes and their lives! With the Wisewolf's help, can Lawrence devise a way to save an entire town from ruin - and his skin and that of his traveling companion in the process?

One of my favorite Volumes so far

This 4th volume was never in the tv anime but I’m glad to have listened to it here such an astounding story to the characters and plot im left speechless

A Nice Interlufe

This volume does not achieve the same as the first three, but it is a pleasant read nonetheless.

Wonderful

So awesome to hear the characters voices in a new way and seeing things from holos perspective for the first time is great.

Great reading

Overall a light mystery in a new small town. The readers play well with their given perspectives.

work of art

it's an amazing story, and I love where it's going. can't wait for the next book.

In love with this series!

I love this series so much that I own it in novel & manga form as well as getting the audio books now. It's so great to have someone put a soul to the characters in this way.

A refreshing entry after the first three volumes

Though this book has a more relaxed pace and isn't as intense in terms of stakes, it manages to be just as engaging. We've seen instances where their physical and emotional wellbeing were on the line but this part is a bit of a breather, as they work to solve a small mystery that would spell ruin for an even smaller town, while still trying to learn about Holo's hometown.

I was happy to see Brina Palencia had even more of a role in this volume than she did in the last one and while I thought it was strange that in volume 3, they just switched reading randomly, with this volume I've come to appreciate how Brina and Michael both give their own spin on how their own as well as the other opposite character comes off.

For example, Michael reads Lawrence as calm and methodical, where as Brina read him as slightly mysterious and collected.

Brina on the other hand reads Holo as Brimming with wisdom first theb slightly flirty and playful second while Michael read Holo as playful and slightly haughty with the wisdom coming second and I'd like to think this dynamic as deliberate as this is how each character views the others.


In anycase, I do hope for the entire series to come soon, but I'll start by hoping for just the fifth book because like the others, I'm sure it'll have an amazing performance.

waitng on the next one

captivating story
I love the story very captivated cannot wait until volume . one of my favorite stories

keeps getting better

The voice actor/actress seem to have worked better in this book. think they starting to understand the characters. This book more about other people than Lawrence and Holo, well how Lawrence and Holo interact with other people. Also how Lawrence and Holo are more a team that just two people going some where.

Enjoyed the book and want more of the series.

A great listen!

Spice and Wolf anime is one of my comfort animes. It's such a chill series but enough plot and conflict to keep it moving forward. Holo is trying to find her home and with each step that gets her closer, it seems they always find themselves in some drama. I listened to the audiobook and, although I'm not sure why they added Brina Palencia (she is the VA for Holo) since they didn't have her in the first audiobook, other than because she is Holo. She does a great job, of course, but it's really random where they switch, especially since the novel is never in her POV. J. Michael Tatum does a wonderful job and is one of my favorite VAs.
