Winter's Fury

The Furyck Saga, Book 1

De: A.E. Rayne

Narrado por: Finty Williams

Jael Furyck isn’t happy. Her father is dead. Her uncle has stolen the throne.

And now, her uncle wants to marry her off to the fallen son of her arch-enemy. But Jael is a battle-hardened warrior, trained to kill since she was 10-years-old. She doesn’t plan on being anyone’s wife.

Eadmund Skalleson is drunk. His father is threatening him with a wife again. And this time he’s given him an ultimatum. Marry Jael Furyck or your brother returns from exile. But if Eadmund was ever going to choose a wife, it wouldn’t be Jael Furyck. Not her. Not ever.

Winter’s Fury is the first book in The Furyck Saga, a gripping epic-fantasy series that takes you into a richly woven world of warring kingdoms, mysterious dreamers, dark magic, and an ancient prophecy that emerges from the shadows to weave a dangerous web around them all....

Strong female lead

The female lead is strong both physically and emotionally. I love how this story progresses, the “sidekick” characters are well written and the storyline never lags. I appreciate that even though the story continues there isn’t an unnecessary cliffhanger ending just for the sake of drama.

My only beef would be that sometimes following the multiple storylines that switched back and forth was difficult because the character voices were distinct enough. That said, I can’t wait for the next installment, I’ve already downloaded it.

Solid start with a great Narrator.

I did have a few issues with the story. The biggest one being how much that I hate almost everything about augury/omen/divination. Regardless of the origin of the divination (magic, gods, etc..) or the interpretation of said omen... it takes the human element out of the story. That being said, I still enjoyed this story. I think that the talent of the narrator was some of the reason I did so. There are a few things that might offend some people. Rape, forced marriages, alcoholism. The story is set in a Viking/ Medieval setting...these things were not unrealistic (back then, or now for that matter), and not done in a way that glorifies them. I will be getting the next in the series. (and I will be checking to see if I can get Finty as my voice for Alexa...)

Amazing fast paced intriguing adventure!

Not a dull second! Character build up is done to perfection, the story moves along at a fast pace and you just don’t want to put this book down! The narrator does and excellent job! Bravo to her! This book is a new favorite of mine! So hard to come across one like this one. So, I’ll stop here because I can’t wait to listen to the next one! I do highly recommend it.

EVERYTHIING, WORLD BUILDING, BAD A WOMAN , BLACK

MAGIC! I was desperate for a new fantasy saga. So done with starting series only to find a cliff hanger and the next book not coming for a year.. I'd never heard of this author, but will read everything he? She? has written. Don't skip this one.

Surprisingly… and intriguing … gets better and better

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this 1st book of this Series. Story was very slow to develop, however saw hints of light 2/3 through and became faced paced, exciting, and satisfying but perplexed at the end. Unsure how this saga with unfold… but damn excited to start the next book! Great narrator and amazing performance!

A Tale Worth Your Time

This book had me snared from the start. The author put a lot into every character. I must say that you must really pay attention to the characters and where they are in the book, because it does jump around to each one a good bit. Overall I loved it and I am fixing to start the second one!
