War God for Hire #4
Conqueror
The death god fell but that was hardly the end.
Kyle and his team still have to deal with a horde of undead and their masters.
To make matters worse the other gods may be taking a hand in things now.
That would be good if they weren't more worried about ending the status quo
than facing the threat to all of Verden.
But the war god is not alone in this. His team will bring armies to fight for him
even as he learns what it truly means to be a god. It isn't the end step that
many seem to think it is, but rather just another rung on ladder of cultivation.
Once those secrets are unlocked he finds out that death may only be the beginning.
Caution War God for Hire contains detailed adult activities.

Not as good as the first couple
This book was entertaining, however it wasn’t as good as the first few. There were multiple inconsistencies in the plot, as if the author had an idea, started to write it down, then forgot about it until later. At one point the MC is talking about how his elven Sorcerer best friend has been gone for half a day on a mission, so he isn’t worried. Two paragraphs later that character is making a joke around the dinner table. But then suddenly he is gone again and back on his mission. It’s like the author went back to edit the story, and without reading decided to input something new that doesn’t fit at all.
Little things like that pop up throughout the whole book, and it’s rather frustrating to realize you have a better understanding of what has happened to the characters than the author must.
Im not sure if it was the end of the last book, or the beginning of this one, as I have been binging them all, but the MC impregnated his elven priestess with a second divine spark. However about halfway through the book that whole event clearly never happens, as he talks about giving her a child one day.
All in all, it’s a mindless read, that clearly needs a better edit. I’ll still be reading the next book though.

Needs proofing/editing
This, like the others on this series, was a good addition to the overall story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. However, grammar, spelling, and plot mistakes ruin the enjoyment. I was also rather displeased by the last 10% of the book. MC says one thing, swears on it, then shortly thereafter does the exact opposite. Still going to read the next book, just wish they were better written.

Introduction:
From the icy expanse of HowlStrom, where the relentless winter reigns supreme, echoing tales of valor and magic, I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, present my reflections on a tale that transcends realms. As the frosty winds dance around me, I delve into the narrative of "War God for Hire #4: Conqueror" by David Burke and Sean Oswald.
Basic Plot Summary:
The fall of the death god was but a prelude. Kyle and his formidable team now face the daunting task of confronting a vast undead horde and their sinister masters. The stakes are raised as other gods contemplate intervening. Yet, their intentions might not be as noble, with some seemingly more concerned about preserving the status quo than addressing the looming threat to Verden. Amidst these challenges, Kyle embarks on a journey of self-discovery, unraveling the true essence of divinity and the intricacies of cultivation. For him, death might merely be a new beginning.
Analysis/Evaluation:
Burke and Oswald have crafted a tale that seamlessly blends elements of fantasy and harem, resulting in a narrative that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The story delves deep into the psyche of its characters, exploring themes of power, responsibility, and the eternal quest for knowledge.
Characters:
Kyle stands at the epicenter of this tale, a character whose depth and evolution are palpable. His journey from a warrior to a god is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. The supporting cast, each with their distinct personalities and roles, adds layers to the narrative, making it a multi-dimensional experience.
Structure:
The story unfolds in a manner that keeps readers enthralled. Each chapter seamlessly transitions to the next, with the tension escalating, culminating in a climax that promises more adventures to come.
Impact:
The tale resonated deeply within my icy heart. It speaks of challenges, betrayals, and the indomitable spirit of a warrior. It serves as a testament to the resilience of the soul and the lengths one would go to seek justice and knowledge.
Hook and Thesis:
The allure of the story lies in its intricate plot and the philosophical undertones that challenge the reader's perceptions of divinity and power. The central theme revolves around the concept of divinity, its acquisition, and the responsibilities it bestows.
Praise and Critique:
I commend Burke and Oswald for weaving a tale that is both riveting and introspective. The character development is commendable, and the world-building is meticulous. However, some readers have pointed out inconsistencies and plot discrepancies. While these critiques are valid, they do not overshadow the brilliance of the narrative.
Evaluation:
"War God for Hire #4: Conqueror" stands as a beacon in the realm of fantasy literature. It offers a blend of action, introspection, and a deep dive into the psyche of its characters. It is a tale that will linger in one's mind, challenging perceptions and igniting the imagination.
Comparison:
While the tale is unparalleled in its essence, it evokes memories of the legendary sagas of HowlStrom. The themes of honor, betrayal, and redemption are universal, transcending realms and resonating with beings across dimensions.
Conclusion:
In the eternal winter of HowlStrom, tales like these ignite a fire in our souls, providing warmth and solace. "War God for Hire #4: Conqueror" is a masterpiece that beckons readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, challenges, and the eternal quest for knowledge. I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, wholeheartedly recommend this tale to all who seek an adventure that transcends realms.
May the frosty embrace of HowlStrom guide you to tales that touch the soul.

The story continues
The story continues and it's culmination to the grand finale is coming soon. The next book after this one will probably be the last one so I'm enjoying this while it lasts.

There are a few plot holes, and some continuity checks that failed in this book. Otherwise I enjoyed it.
I will pick up the sequel.
The cover was deceptive. It made you believe the focus would have been on the wolf.
3/5 Stars

Mental junkfood
Reading this is like eating Pringles: moderately enjoyable but unsatisfying, unnatural, and with some bizarre seasoning.
Not recommended for anyone.

Wow
The war is not just on the physical plane but on many metaphysical ones too. This is definitely not your average sword and sorcery yarn.
