Sweet, spicy and thrillin. Now I want an barbarian

It is impossible to just listen to the first book. I immediately continued with the second one and was very satisfied with the story and the development of characters and story.
Narration was really really good and the dialect of the barbarians on point.
Once the spice starts it is amazingly written and plenty. An absolut recommendation.
But to be honest: the cover image doesn't represent the main characters very good.
So don't judge the book by its cover :D

Please change the cover, the story is way better than advertised

I ve seen the book before, but the cover was just so not appealing. The little guy have a stupid modern haircut, I thought it’s a time travel thing, and it got so much grey he looks to be 40 years old. Honestly make an IA change his hair. And maybe put some bird in the background. The story itself is lovely. Absolutely buying part 2 as well hope there are more to come.

Celebration of rape culture, that get better towards the end

let's start with the positives that this audiobook is Performance really well as is always is when Ferraiuolo takes on a project.
The charakters actually do have a developement and the plot is interesting enough although rather predictable.
Really bad is the Set up. The stronger, older and more experienced character leaves no Chance out to torture his unwilling 'husband' wuth cruel remarcs and jokes, lacks all humanity and empathy at least in actions and is all in all such a dumb a**hole thar my opinon of him never recovered throughout the whole series. The Protests of the younger character who is basically sold off for political purposes like a piece of meat and who is constantly threatened with violence and rape, is treated like 'childish' behavior as if it was completely normal to expect someone to soll their body and wellbeing for political favours for their parents.
but of course then the, actually do fall in love and of course eventually in the end there will be a happy and where this forces marriage actually changes all the kingdoms for the better. So basically Andrews is under the opinon that rape culture and forced marriages lead to good things - great job! i would really like to know why especially wemon write shit like this and try to sell it as romantic or sexy? It’s not! It’s bullying, apathy, dehumanisation, forced marriage and rape.
please for the love of god or whatever it is you pray to, have better message than this, you write so well, why this book?
