The wilding Estin just wanted to be left alone, find shelter and food, and live to a nice old age. With war escalating around him, these may be beyond his reach. Instead, survival becomes his only goal as he flees civilization to pursue the chance at a better life by following a fox wildling into the mountains, far from the war's conflicts.

The war might still be raging elsewhere, but Estin will find the mountains are far from safe. Estin must decide what he is willing to do and become, as well as who to trust if he is to survive, no matter where he lives.

5,0 su 5 stelle A great book for all readers

In Wilder Lands by Jim Galford tells the story of Estin. Estin is a wildling, a race of humanoid animals. He is the only one of his kind that he knows of and as the story begins he is living in the slums of a city stealing to survive. Wildlings exist only on the very fringe of human society and it is not an unusual occurrence for them to be scooped up and sold as slaves. When a theft that turns out to be much more than he bargained for goes south he is forced to flee the city. Luckily for him he hooks up with some other wildlings, unfortunately they are of the predator variety and he has a very tough time finding acceptance as a species of prey.

There is a lot of stuff going on in this book and it revolves around some very well done characters and a unique story. The book covers a full gambit of emotion with several instances of humor in the books that made me chuckle and some the issue of slavery is treated with a very real gravity. There is also a bit of a romantic element that Estin finds himself involved in. That is usually a bit touchy of a subject for me, as if it's not done right I lose a lot of interest in the story. Jim managed to keep me involved throughout. This is a very well done book and deserves a 4.5 star rating that I have no problem rounding up for the review sites.

5,0 su 5 stelle A unique epic that exceeds expectations

So this is basically a story following Estin, a lemur, as his world is continually ripped to shreds around him. Want more details? I'd read the book if I were you.

It's got everything - action, humour, romance, morality, epic city sieges, slavery, the undead...imagine one of Lord of the Rings' storylines at a faster pace and you'll be there.

It's fast-paced and well-structured; everything that happens is leading to something else down the road. It's also lovely and long, so as much as it's written in a style that would enable you to read it in a couple of days, there's just too much here so it'll keep you going for a while.

Simply put if you enjoy fantasy I'm sure you'll love this. Jim Galford, you have a new fan.

4,0 su 5 stelle Love the Characters, Like the Plot, Iffy on a Few Others
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 luglio 2012

'In Wilder Lands' is a story that seems to defy expectations. Although initially set in a rather stereotypical fantasy city and following a standard impoverished youth, author Jim Galford quickly twists the story and sends events in the most unexpected directions. Every time I thought I had figured out the plot and could predict what would happen next, another twist would occur that kept things fresh. These events are not intricate and there is no woven web of complexity, but they are pleasantly unexpected.

Characters are Galford's strength, and even minor figures become instantly memorable by virtue of their dialogue and personality. Varra, who appears early on, is in hindsight a character that serves as little more than a plot device, but she rests firmly in my mind by virtue of her characterization and dialogue, such as the following:

"Do you think [the ancestor spirits] will be able to focus after seeing so much wealth? No, we shall wait and they will tell me when they are ready and sober enough to help."

[after Estin explains that he did not mean to insult the ancestors]: "Oh good! The ancestors do not like to be laughed at. I would have hated becoming their instrument for slapping good sense into you."

Estin and Feanne, the two main characters, go through a series of believable and heartfelt development arcs that caused them to resonate well with me. It's hard to be specific without giving away spoilers, but I'll try with this example. After Estin's heart gets broken, he throws himself wholeheartedly into his service and training as a healer. He uses his duty and obligations as a shield to keep himself from getting hurt, and this forms a lasting influence on his actions throughout the rest of the book.

This is not to say that In Wilder Lands is 100% amazing. There are occasions when sentences feel awkwardly phrased, which pulled me out of the immersion, but these did not occur with too much frequency. Each chapter begins with a dream sequence of sorts, as Estin describes his nightmares and offers a bit of narration. These sections do a good job of showing Estin's evolving characters, but some of the other matters brought up in these sections can fall under the "tell, not show" category, which is a shame, since the character interactions are the most enjoyable part of the story.

'In Wilder Lands' is part of the "Fall of Eldvar" series, which according to the author is intended to be a set of stories set before, during, and after the world-changing calamities that play out in the background of In Wilder Lands. Since those other books haven't been written yet (though one is coming out in August), what I am about to say may be proven differently as time goes on, so take it with a grain of salt. Galford, in writing the setting, seems to have overextended his use of fantasy tropes. Ogres, elves, orcs, dwarves, humans, and wildings are among the races present, though only humans and wildings are actually relevant or needed to the story, though the argument can be made for dwarves. This saturation doesn't take anything away, but I do question the purpose of these elements.

Still, the good outweighs the bad for In Wilder Lands. It's an enjoyable story with wonderful characters, and I do think people will enjoy reading it.

5,0 su 5 stelle An epic fantasy that I'll reread over and over!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 gennaio 2012

In Wilder Lands marks the second anthropomorphic fantasy story I've read and I must say, I'm quickly becoming a fan of these types of adventures! I have to give kudos where it's deserved. The author has created a wonderful, realistic world populated with humans, dwarves, elves, and a variety of "wildlings", creatures that are humanoid but with traits of various animals. The wildlings aren't looked upon with too much favor, as they are constantly being caught, sold into slavery, kept on leashes, etc. Foxes, wolves, and deer are just a few of the many species represented in this story.

Anyway, this story focuses on Estin, a free wildling that is struggling to figure out just how he fits into his world. He hasn't come across many of his kind, so when he encounters a fox wildling, he becomes enamored with her and chooses to become part of her pack. What follows are epic battles, chases, emotional struggles, and the constant threat of legions of undead warriors obliterating everything he holds dear on his world.

There was so many intricate details skillfully woven into Galford's world, and his characters, that I had to read the book again just to make sure I didn't miss anything. And, in fact, I had, but that's due to my eagerness to keep reading to see what would happen next! I truly enjoyed the interactions between Estin and Feanne. I really loved Finth, the dwarf, and his constant insults, and even more so I loved how this angry, belligerant dwarf did a complete turnaround and become a loyal member and friend to the pack.

I tip my hat to the author as he has created a fantastic world where clearly a lot of time and energy were spent on crafting realistic battles, quirky mannerisms of the various wildlings, appearances, fur color, etc. If you think you're a fan of fantasy adventure stories, you have to give this one a try! I also encourage fans to drop the author a line and encourage him to continue the story with a sequel. :)

5,0 su 5 stelle Best dark fantasy I've ever read that I actually cried reading it
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 marzo 2023

This series has to be of the best dark fantasy story I've read so far. There is much I can say but that give away spoilersand it's better to read it for yourself. Be warned, however, as this book will tug and break your heart. I love this series so much, but I don't think I am strong enough to read it again. This subverts expectations and avoidance all stereotypes and cliches that is often found in fantasy books. Cood doesn't always Triumph over evil, the hero doesnt always make the right choice, the boy doesnt get the girl, , and the Knight doesn't always save the damsel. This isn't a story of love, a story of good vs. evil, or even a story of adventure. It is a story of survival where war begun and the nightmare begins. The characters have fault and they must sacrifice, suffer, and survive for themselves and for the one's they care.
