Taking place in the First Era of Northwestern Aerbon between the years 1E75-151, The Northern Wars revolves around several wars spanning that time period. Following the passage of a royal decree in 1E78, King Louis Delaunay IV of the Kingdom of Legion declared a tax upon the hemp that passed through his lands. The people of Ahglor were a hardy folk who grew the stuff to smoke and trade with the elves of Aenor between hunting and farming in the northern reaches of their mountainous country.

Narrator made this good, strong first half, super weak final half
Revisado: 08-30-24
The narrator, Blaze, did an excellent job of making each character feel unique and fun. He did some great accent work and really conveyed emotions throughout the book. There were parts where I was even roaring alongside some of the characters in moments of triumph.
The book really feels all over the place. It feels like there is maybe 5-10 pages per chapter and then it gets moved to another character? There is some really cool points that constantly get interrupted to talk about stuff not related to the NORTHERN WAR. Then after about the halfway mark it's not even about the NORTHERN WAR anymore. It really feels like it should have been two separate books and the last half really feels so weak compared to the first half, which is truly a bummer.
The book also likes to repeat itself. Early on you meet Jean and Pierre, they're brothers. You will hear their same story about 4 more times. This doesn't happen with just them either, it is a constant occurrence throughout the book.
There's strong content here, but it is lacking the focus to turn it into something great. If Blaze is reading another one, I might give it a chance.

Desperate to end the war, the Federation mobilizes its legions from across the galaxy to launch the largest invasion in human history. Sargent Braddock of the Federation Cavalry knows that when it comes to the Bug War, no two deployments are the same. In order to snatch victory from the jaws of chaos, he will have to rethink everything he knows about combat, Bugs, and himself.

good narration, decent book

You can really see some influences from Starship Troopers and Starcraft in here. There's a lot of interesting moments that I honestly couldn't step away from.
I have a few gripes about it, mostly that there are a ton of history references dating back THOUSANDS of years. It feels like we are constantly going from future to distant past comparisons, there is literally no in-between. Also the MC drifts off on wild tangents and even other characters tend to do it fairly often.
I think that Blaze did a great job narrating, his voices were easy to differentiate and fit the story well.
Tl:Dr
Wilcox through together a decent story with some minor plot issues and some drawn out scenes. The audio quality is great and makes for an easy listen, Blaze keeps the voices distinct and entertaining. I will give another Wilcox novel a shot, I think there's some potential here and it really shows the further you get into the book.
Thanks for an entertaining listen!
