Direbound

The Wolves of Ruin #1 part 1

by Sable Sorensen

Hunger Games møder Fourth Wing og Powerless



I 500 år har de mægtige kæmpeulve og indbyggerne i Nocturna dannet alliance i den konstante krig med naboriget Astreona. Ulvene vælger deres ryttere blandt adlens unge eller blandt få, heldige soldater, og kun de stærkeste overlever den efterfølgende træning.



Meryn har aldrig drømt om at knytte bånd med en ulv, men da hendes søster bliver kidnappet af fjenden, slutter Meryn sig til hæren for at finde hende og danner uventet bånd med Anassa, en stoisk og intelligent hunulv, som ellers aldrig har vist interesse for at knytte bånd til en rytter.



Sammen kastes de ud i et nådesløst udskillelsesløb, hvor de svage dør, og de stærke kæmper om de få, eftertragtede pladser i deres respektive flokke. Ethvert tegn på svaghed straffes omgående og brutalt.



Og Meryn er et nemt offer, for hendes bånd til Anassa virker svagt, og hendes spirende relation til rigets kronprins hjælper ikke ligefrem på hendes popularitet.

If you love books like Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games, you’re going to love Direbound! It pulls you in immediately and is fast paced, action packed, and full of plot twists. I swear every single chapter ends on a cliffhanger and I could NOT put it down! I closed the book and just sat there like… um excuse me? I need the next one immediately!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa; fue agonizante leer este libro y de verdad lo termine por que necesitaba saber que pasaba y termina horrible 🤨. killian(Lee) ; super cliché desde el segundo capitulo me di cuenta que mentía y despues de que Mer se da cuenta quien es ufff los sabia como 20 capítulos antes.
Meryn; fuerte 💪 luchadora Pero brutaaaaaa; egocéntrica e inmadura !!
Starck rarooooo!!!
La historia tiene un aire a los juegos del hambre y alas de sangre es como un enredo de los dos pero malooo
Que me gusto ?? los vínculos con los lobos una pasada; pero nada mas No seguiré con el segundo libro sufrir leyendo este dure una semana completa y el libro no logró atraparme en ningún momento.

I knew this was going to blow up the moment I read the first few lines, a strong fmc is all I crave when reading fantasy, I really loved the writing just wish we had stark's pov too anyway it was definitely a 4 star read, sable really did something with this one can't wait for fury bound to drop

I enjoyed the FMC and the storyline overall. The storyline wasn't too predictable or confusing. It reminds me of 4th Wing with Direwolves but had a great twist.

I really like the story and can’t wait to read what happens next. Took off a star for the writing and I found the main girl annoying
