GLORY NEVER GETS OLD. Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best -- the meanest, dirtiest, most feared crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help. His daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.

This was so freaking good. It is basically a book version of a D&D campaign, so I couldn't resist making the themed photo. It is both hilarious, and heartbreaking. And of course action packed as expected. When I thought I knew what might happen next, I was proved wrong. Clearly the author has played the game. You don't need to be a player to enjoy this, but it doesn't hurt. I highly recommend this one and will definitely read this author again.

lil1inblue How fun! I stacked because I also have a long list of people I could gift this to! I also would love to read it eventually. 😍 2mo
bookishbitch @lil1inblue It will be a great gift! 2mo
iread2much I really appreciate that it was focused on older characters and the band reunion” vibe was really fun 🤩 2mo
bookishbitch @iread2much I enjoyed that as well. I felt it had a lot of heart in it too. 2mo

So far this is a fun read. I got this outdoor table at a discount due to the rub mark. I'm thinking about distressing it even more and adding handles in the back to make it a shield. Maybe even painting a sigil on it. Just for fun. It would be very D&D fashion.

julesG Cool idea. Making the table look like a shield sounds awesome. 4mo

Picked this book up because it was the December pick for #swordandlaserpodcast. I had never heard of this book before. It was pretty good. A retired group of guys get back together to save their band mates daughter. There is a lot of action, fighting and exploring and traveling to different parts of this world. Overall, I enjoyed this book.

Here's hoping I finish this one tonight. It has been a quick read (when I actually pick it up) but I just haven't felt like reading lately. I have been fighting off the round of sickness...oh the joys of working in a school. Break can't come soon enough because my body needs a break so I can finally kick this!!

Fun!

Retired group of mercenaries comes together again to help one member in freeing his daughter who's in a city under siege.

Shenanigans, weird and wyld monsters, injuries, burials, innuendos, puns, magical hats and so much more.

Enjoyed the writing, loved the dialogues (from absurd banter to deep conversations) and characters.

🎧 SO many quotable hilarious lines!! This is a fun book.

There‘s 80‘s rep!

There‘s a feel of a DND quest … owlbear!

The band is past its prime but they have a daughter to save!

If you‘ve ever thought you‘re past your prime … or that your parents are … and you enjoy a fast-moving quest with some swearing and childish behavior … and can laugh at all of these things … get a copy of this book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

My sweet little Gus loves the kindle. It leaves plenty of lap room and one hand free for pats and belly rubs. Nearly done with Kings of the Wyld, and it's been a rollicking good time. I've got book two on hold on audio, and I'm hoping it'll come through soon.

I came across this one quite by accident when someone said it was a fantasy novel about aged adventurers that moan as much about their joints and digestion as they do about monsters and gold. That's a fair assessment of it. I liked it, it was fun and took a different spin on the standard fantasy retrieval trope. It was well worth the read. I am still on the fence about the sequel for Reasons... We'll see.

Fun 'getting the band back together' story. One of the guys (all retired) finds out his daughter is at risk as she'd followed in Daddy's footsteps, and gone off hunting demons in the wyld. The guys go after her to save little Rosy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This was a different spin on fantasy and really fun. I would say it‘s high on the comedy scale, and the banter between these middle-aged retired characters is smooth and entertaining. I love the way the mercenary bands were treated on a rockstar level, giving the word “band” an entire different meaning in fantasy! Highly recommend! It was adventurous and a quick read. #kingsofthewyld #fantasy

What an absolutely riotously witty, crude, hilarious novel. My boyfriend had read me pieces as he read it and kept recommending it to me. The audiobook on audible was very well done. Excellent book, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a pulse that likes fantasy, and to laugh.

This was an absolute blast! Great characters, great character work by the author to get you the reader to feel like you've been with these guys for ages. Super realistic dialog that will have you laughing or tearing up in equal parts. As a Wheel of Time fan, this book makes me think of the author asking "What if I wanted to do the last battle but without 13 books before it?" While the payoff is not as great, it still delivers.

I had a slow for me reading week and only finished my #DoubleSpin book, Mirage, and The Left Hand of Darkness. I also didn't start my forecast choice of The Wandering Fire because I chose Kings of the Wyld instead.

#WeeklyForecast
I plan to finish Kings of the Wyld this week and hopefully start Chilling Effect when that's done. Then maybe I'll be more in the mood for more of the Fionavar Tapestry later.

📖 Kings of the Wyld || Nicholas Eames

One of my favorite books I read this year. It‘s fun and heartfelt, and the male characters aren‘t afraid to express their love for their friends. If you like rpg‘s like D&D, you‘ll probably find the book enjoyable like I did.

Good morning everyone in the #24in48 challenge
This is my entry for the #sffchallenge at hour 6, I‘m a little late since I just woke up. I talk about this book a lot but it means so much to me. I read nothing but SFF, my shelves are full of those books, but this one was the 1st book I read coming out of a 9yr abusive relationship that took reading away from me. Not only is it amazing but it holds strong means for me as my breakaway point.

Kings of the Wyld is tremendous, pulpy SF fun, although it stops short of being great. The highlight is taking adventuring bands to their logical conclusion. And it has rabbit-eared elves. Full review - https://everydayshouldbetuesday.wordpress.com/2019/07/16/kings-of-the-wyld-is-a-...

I am so awestruck right now that I don‘t think I‘ll be able to piece my thoughts together on this book! Kings of the Wyld is pure gold. Every few pages, I found myself grinning from ear to ear and chortling like a fool. Also, the characters are so incredibly well written, I‘ve fallen in love with each and every one of them. I didn‘t expect this tale to stir so many emotions in me. I cried some real tears, both happy and sad ones.
