I received this fantasy eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So here be me honest musings .

A book much stronger in the blood of war than in the quieter machinations of politics.A book much stronger in the blood of war than in the quieter machinations of politics.Ahoy there me mateys! Inspired by audiobooks, he developed a late interest in reading and began trying his hand at writing soon afterwards. A grand-scale historical fantasy set in the frigid wilds of the Black Kingdom, Carew’s stellar debut novel—about a young lord forced into a perilously complex situation after his father is killed in battle—is an action-packed and blood-splattered tour de force.The Black Kingdom, inhabited by a race of giant warriors, lies in the northern reaches of the realm of Albion, separated from its enemies, the Sutherners, by a great river. “The Wolf” is a piece that mirrors that of an epic Game of Thrones type fantasy book where there are house loyalties, deep betrayals, assassination attempts and war all wrapped together nicely.

Sweet. The Wolf is a thrilling, ... Full of dark conspiracies, larger-than-life characters, and tense battles, Leo Carew has created a rousing cross between The Magnificent Seven and Game of Thrones. It is a story that has many familiar elements  (warring cultures, military campaigns, rightful heirs, love, death, betrayal) but it is so well executed that even the most demanding and veteran of fantasy readers will be satisfied. It's billed as "a thrilling, savagely visceral, politically nuanced and unexpectedly wry exploration of power and identity", which is catnip for a reader of my taste. by

You didn't skip a single sentence. The Sutherner populace is terrified of their neighbors to the north, who wear virtually impenetrable bone armor and are mythically long-lived. It had a touch of military heroic fantasy with majority of the storys main focus being the political scheming. Paul Hoffman, author of The Left Hand of God The next George RR Martin.

Carew is the real deal -an exciting new voice in fantasy, Kirkus Reviews The world building is great and I can see more room to grow with the other areas on the map. The north is more barbarian like as compared to the more civilised South.
