This book catapults us into the action where we are thrown into the world of young Lish, as she experiences the trauma of witnessing her mother’s death.

We then fast forward to Lish today, a strong, confident woman leading a team of guards in a harsh, climate affected world of many hardships. Despite her trauma and childhood experiences in the orphanage, Lish is kind, loving and loyal. She has created a family and is making the most of her life… until her fate catches up with her and takes them all on an epic adventure.

I adore the way that we are completely immersed in Lish’s world as we hear her thoughts. This enables us to really see the deep love she has for all of the people in her life and the genuine connections she makes along the way. There was no mistaking her kind heart.

Will was equally as beautiful in his love and commitment to Lish. His quiet strength but proud respect and loyalty towards her was so endearing.

All of the characters quickly felt like my family, really supporting the comforting feeling of this book, despite the high level of adventure. I felt like I was one of the team as I read.

Throughout the book Lish is thrown into adventure after adventure in keeping me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The family of characters had me wanting to be there with them but the fast paced plot and the anticipation of what was to come next at every step had me unable to to put the book down. Just when I thought Lish was about to get a break I found her diving into another new experience. I loved that there was always something going on, yet every experience was purposeful, no adventure spam.

I don’t compare books, but I do love to match books that have a similar feeling. Amber wolf has such nail-biting adventure, found family who would do anything for each other, beautiful respectful romance, purely evil power hungry villain and an uprising to right a wrong world which felt like A court of thorns and roses series, The Cursebreakers trilogy, Defy the night duology, The prison healer trilogy and the Folk of the Air trilogy. So if you enjoyed any of these, I’m sure you will love Amber Wolf.

I loved this book so much that I will be ordering a physical copy to enjoy a cosy re-read. We all have books that just feel like home, comfort reads where you get to journey again with your book family, this book has joined mine.

Now…how long do I have to wait for the sequel?

**This book was given to me as an ARC from the author and this is an honest review in my own words. ...more "
