My Review for Dire Bound by Sable Sorensen, read by Avery Caris and Gabriel Michael
“Confidence makes men sloppy. And sloppy men are easy targets.”
I saw that Dire Bound was on the Libro.fm choice list and decided it was time for me to jump on the Wolves of Ruin series. I mean, I'm only a year or so behind, right?! 😅
I loved it. With its Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games vibes, I was invested from the beginning. Unusually for me when listening to an audiobook, I didn't feel like I'd zoned out at all. The dual narration brought the characters right into my ears as I joined every battle with Meryn and shared her frustration at being bonded to the ass of a Dire Wolf that is Anassa (see, it's even in her name! 😂🐺). A wolf who seems to have no patience or tolerance for the girl who really doesn't want to be bonded at all and is only there because she has no other choice.
There are secrets around every corner, and just about everyone seems to have something against Meryn... or do they? 🤔 Maybe they're just trying to keep her safe.
I listened to Fury Bound as soon as I'd finished this one, so I'll post that review soon. Oh, and I might also have ordered a pretty copy with sprayed edges! 📖✨
Thank you to Libro.fm and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to listen to and review Dire Bound by Sable Sorensen. ❤️
About the Book
Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped - stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting - Meryn’s world falls apart.
Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life.
Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness.
Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her - everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife … and the halls hide dark secrets.
It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin.
