The First Law

Firstly, apologies for the non-first law related post. However, I know most of us struggle to find good audiobooks after having been tainted by the genius of Stephen Pacey and the slew of disappointing audiobooks out there can be very disheartening (I was on my 5th straight DNF before this) so I thought I’d share one which has been working extremely well for me!

The Wolf by Leo Carew (read by Matt Addis) - Book 1 of the finished series Under The Northern Sky

I’d say this is a low fantasy, political war type story (so far anyway - only halfway through it) and while the characters of course are not Abercrombie the story hooked me from very early on.

The narration is reeally good! Now, don’t expect Pacey level accents and recognizable voices but the narrator’s tone is great, his delivery and intonation are excellent (which is so often the issue for me with other narrators) and there is enough nuance between characters to make them perceptible and not confusing.

I really hope this helps and other people vibe with it as much as I have… and if anyone has read/listened to it already I’d love to hear what you thought- no spoilers tho!!
