Gotta love Simon, gotta love Shane as Simon!

Revisado: 03-22-23

I already love this series so I probably don't need to say too much, assuming that if you're looking at Book 4, you've already read 1-3 :)

We were introduced to Simon earlier in the series, and he had quite a large role in Book 3 (Librarian), so hopefully you come into his story here already loving him. The story of Maria and Simon is complicated in the way that all of Finley Fenn's stories are - the FMC has at least one terrible human man in her life (in this case, husband), somehow she winds up involved with an orc from Orc Mountain (I won't spoil anything!), and there is lots of miscommunication, and details hidden by each person because others around them are also confused, while the FMC has a tough time being surrounded by the new culture of the orcs who she's been told wrong information about all her life. Maria's story reflects situations that many women likely found themselves in years ago (other than the whole orc thing...haha). She and Simon grow in many ways over this story, and satisfying changes that affect more than just them occur over the story for the entire mountain. With every book, we learn more details about the clans and the way the mountain works, as well as details of the world around the mountain. I always enjoy the world-building aspects of Orc Sworn (even though we know a good part of why we read is the smut!).

This book gives us a bigger picture of Clan Skai - both the positive and the negative (and things that may seem one way at first, but are turned around a bit as we learn more and more). It features even more than usual from fan fave Baldr, as well, and a few bigger glimpses at my own fave, Joarr.

Shane East did a wonderful job with Simon, and all the characters' voices. He makes sure to differentiate between orcs like Simon, who grew up speaking less of the Common Tongue, and Baldr, who spent more time living with his human mother as a kid, and therefore whose accent reflects that. He manages to change his way of speaking into a new noble a-hole for each 'villain' in each new book. Can't wait to see how much I detest a human man or two in Book 5 as well!
