Summary

Newly and uneasily allied, two tribes from different worlds set off across the Ocean of Grass. Their mission is to fulfil a prophecy and take Ottar the Moaner west of west, to save mankind. In their way are the denizens of the Badlands, the most terrifying and powerful collection of murderers and monsters the world has ever seen.

The Wootah Hooter!

Angus Watson is at it again, this is a genuinely fitting follow up to the excellent You Die When You Die. It gets better and better as it goes along with Watson's humorous approach to fantasy leading the Wootah refugees and Sophie Tornado and her gang through a genuinely epic adventure. Watson's imagination runs riot with monsters, battles, arena fights and chases each vying for attention.

The way that he delivers internal monologues and then Sean Barrett brings them to life is audiobook gold. Watson lets us get right inside the heads of his characters and one rather short-lived character's thoughts as he charged into battle had me genuinely laughing out loud. The joy of these books is that while there is at times an almost cartoon like feel to some of the characters and fighting you are constantly engaged with the characters and their fates. Who could not love Finbogie the Boggy or admire Sophie Tornado? Who could not laugh at Keith the Beserker or not find themselves grinning to hear the battle cry "Wootah!"

This is cracking stuff and I can't wait to hear how the trilogy ends with the next one!

Uncanny valley

Elements of the familiar combined with complete weirdness. Great tragedy and comedy with a superb group of evolving characters. Brilliantly narrated.

Just brilliant

Not much more to say. Angus Watson is by quite some margin the most engaging and entertaining author writing today. No one better. Enjoy

Can’t get enough of this series

I’m usually into “serious” historical fiction but I enjoy how this story has unfolded. Beautifully written story is and the narration is spot on.
