Direbound

What an ending. Amazing twists and turns of the story made it so worth the time. The characters and the setting is on point. Eagerly waiting for the next part to know how the evil one is killed 😀

Okay, I’m going to be honest. Somewhere in the middle of this book, I was questioning its potential. I liked it, but I wasn’t sold. And then by the end? Well, consider me seated. 👀 The story is actually paced really nicely. There’s enough happening to keep things moving without feeling like the plot is sprinting past you, and I really enjoyed how a seemingly simple premise slowly revealed more layers and complexities. It has that “wait… there’s more going on here” quality that sneaks up on you. And tell me why I kept seeing The Hunger Games everywhere? Meryn gave me such Katniss energy, while Saela had that Primrose-like vulnerability around her. Then there were moments that screamed Fourth Wing, and okay… I caught some early Throne of Glass vibes too. Mostly first-book vibes, but they were definitely there. 😂 Now, Killian. I hated this man. 💀 And maybe the fact that I already knew his identity because of a spoiler absolutely did not help. But even without that, he came across as slimy, manipulative, toxic, and deeply insecure. Sir, please unclench. As for Stark… I want to be obsessed with him. I really do. But that switch felt so sudden to me, even though technically it wasn’t. My brain just went, “Wait, when did we get here?” 😂 That said, “Who did this to you?” + one bed trope + bonus POV? Yeah. He can have his brownie points. 🫠 I’m hoping book two gives me enough time with him for that switch to actually click, because I can absolutely see the potential. Maybe by then I’ll be fully gone. Hopefully. Probably. God help me. And then there’s Anassa the wolf, who irritated me SO much. 😭 Which, to be fair, I think is exactly what the author wanted, especially because we’re experiencing everything through the FMC’s perspective. But I had the same issue here as I did with Stark: the change felt abrupt, so I’ll need time to adjust. Honestly, I like the twins more right now. 😂 But despite all my complaints, I really loved the story. There’s something surprisingly compelling about how much complexity is tucked inside what initially feels like a simple plot. And now? I’m officially invested. Can’t wait to see where the tide takes us. 🌊 At this point, I’m in. Book two, you have my attention. Now earn my obsession. 👀

delivered in proper quality and with no damage.

Fanatsy and erotica. Dark romance.

It was sooo soooo soooo goood 😭😭😭😭😭 the plot twist and it has been written so so well.. can't wait for the next part to come out

The story in this definitely has potential but the entire book as a whole has few major setbacks. First of all, it is not at all enemy or lovers, atleast not this part. Majorly because there is no enemy or hate actually show and it was evident that it was only imagination, that is all not shown properly, I read a review where it said that after 50 percent of the book it got pace and that was completely true that story was written in fact pace after that. To begin with, I really really hope that the numerous s*x scenes written in such explicit detail between Merlyn and Killian holds some relevance in the upcoming story and is not just to make the book spicy, because if that’s not the case then sorry to say it felt like reading a p**n, because 5-6 scenes to that level were not at all required for the story line and to be honest were extremely off putting. Moving on, what completely lacks is that, it is clearly evident from the beginning that Stark is going to be the main love interest, yet he has been sidelined, which is so disappointing and it feels like even if that is rectified in the second book, it may seem unconnected, but if the author is able to achieve that then hats off but she needs to work on that. Another disappointing part was the first part of the book before beginning of the trials as it felt like a stretch, although it was only 10 percent of the book yet it felt like that so much of the same was not needed, I mean it was evident that her sister is going to be taken, then why such stretch. Story is definitely predictable at times and when the ultimate climax comes, it flows so casually that it’s not even shocking, like the mate entry or the crown or the changing of the sister, it’s not surprising, but the fact remains that the story has potential but could have been more intricately written rather that involving multiple s** scenes. What further disappointed was that the inclination towards Stark after getting to know about the mate bond, it felt like something should have been natural, rather than only feeling her direwolf’s emotions, because then it means that if they get together in the future, it won’t be because of their own feelings, despite the fact that direwolf is not made the main focus of the book. This brings to the disappointment towards her bond and her respect and trust on the bond, I mean we get that she didn’t want that bond, but her trust and respect should have been shown to improve rather than what has been shown, because of this the direwolf cannot be taken as a serious main character of the book. I thought that the bond and the relevance of the bond has been made extremely casual rather than serious. It felt like something more should have been added to the story and not only the motive of the story towards getting her sister back. It felt like a forced motive because even if she was posted at front, it couldn’t have been expected that her sister would be there, so it all looked so forced just to get the story there to make her enter the bonding trials. Friendship have been shouldn’t quiet well but again the entire time the character of Meryn did not interest me because of her behaviour pattern which was not changing. Like, when she realised her fault of putting the iron bars but she again did that when she was with Killian. When her direwolf was angry with her for putting iron bars and that her pack needed her, I thought that something serious had happened, but didn’t know that it won’t be too relevant. Whether I will read the second book or not I am not sure, may be will read the excerpt and move on.

Good fantasy romance

Wow, that was ..... jaw dropping 😍 His entire body is covered in tattoos that represent the number of people he deleted? Say no more! 😍🔥 "My protector" ❤ I don't know what was put in this but this book was so addicting! Also, I absolutely loved the idea of direwolves - bonding with them, gaining their magic through the bond. Everything in this was so good. I was thoroughly entertained. This does end in a cliffhanger but it's not so bad. I mean, to me as long as Meryn is with certain someone 😊 I am not that bothered about other things. Well, she also has her friends with her so that's better too.

OMG... any book worms out there... u gotta try "Dire Wolf" by Sable Sorensen... it is absolutely incredible. I got it at christmas and Ive almost finished. Its about the bond between rider and direwolves. Full of bloody battles, trials, relationships and everything... I so cannot wait till the second book comes out. The twists in this book are HUGE and keeps you guessing all the way. 570 pages of absolute page turning gold!!!

Un de mes coups de coeur de ce début d'année. Oui, beaucoup d'éléments d'intrigue sont attendus parce qu'on les voit arriver de loin mais le personnage principal est chouette, le côté dire wolf aussi et on veut absolument savoir la suite!

I am completely obsessed with this book. While the middle section takes a brief moment to set up all the complex academy world-building, the rest of the journey is nothing short of incredible. The bond between Meryn and her direwolf adds such a unique, fierce layer to the story, and the emotional depth combined with the high-stakes trials made it impossible for me to put down. Easily a 5-star read—I need the next book immediately!

I absolutely loved Dire Bond! The story kept me hooked from beginning to end, with engaging characters, plenty of action, and great chemistry between the main characters. The writing was easy to get into, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance and fast-paced fantasy. Definitely worth reading!

Me encanto, empece sin esperar mas que una comparacion con Alas de sangre y termine amandolo leyendolo en dos dias
