Dire Bound (Standard Edition) (The Wolves of Ruin, 1)
von Sable Sorensen
Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this spicy, page-turning romantasy where humans and direwolves forge unbreakable bonds and fight for survival at all costs. Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She'll risk her life--and her heart--to be one of them. Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped--stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting--Meryn's world falls apart. Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life. Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness. Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her--everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife...and the halls hide dark secrets. It's bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin. Dire Bound contains mature content including depictions of graphic violence, and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.

Rezension von NezIch wollte dieses Buch wirklich lieben. Denn die Welt hatte so großes Potenzial … doch es wurde einfach nicht ausgeschöpft. Die Plottwists waren sehr vorhersehbar und die spannenden Themen und Charaktere wurden nur oberflächlich angeschnitten, was ich sehr Schade fand. Die Hauptprotagonistin hat mich außerdem sehr genervt, weil sie auf der einen Seite so schlau und empathisch ist, auf der anderen aber dumme Entscheidungen trifft (auch für ihr Alter). Ein letzter Kritikpunkt: mir hat es an Originalität gefehlt, da man viele Themen oder auch Twists aus bereits beliebten Romantasy-Reihen kannte (FW, Acotar, …). Schade.

Rezension von Sabrina RehmanThis is one of the best books I have read so far this year! The plot twists were amazing!
Rezension von Kial 13Die Story hätte so gut sein können. Leider werden hier so viele schlechte und unlogische Entscheidungen getroffen, dass es beim Lesen wehtut. Die Charaktere sind eindimensional und flach. 2.5 Sterne nur, weil ich wissen wollte wie es endet und trotz Allem etwas Spannung aufgebaut werden konnte.
Rezension von Andrea FWölfe an die Macht Meryn lebt in einer ungerechten Welt, voller Krieg, Brutalität, Machtmissbrauch, Armut aber auch voll Freundschaft, Liebe und Kampfgeist. Das Buch starte langsam, um in ihrer Welt anzukommen. Erklärt ihre Lebenssituation, ihren Werdegang, ihre Entwicklung, um dann in Chaos auszubrechen. Meryn will ihre Schwester retten und lande dabei in einer ungewollten Bindung mit der mächtigen Schattenwölfin Anassa. Auf einmal geht es um Überleben, um Beziehung, Loyalität, Macht. Und vor allem um die Bindung/Beziehung mit ihrer Schattenwölfin. Beides sind stur, leicht zu beleidigen und stark, somit ist ihre Annährung gefühlt ein Kampf. Der Schreibstil ist mächtig, flüssig, mitreißend. Spannung kommt immer wieder auf. Man wird in einen Sog aus wechselnden Gefühlen gerissen. Minuspunkte für mich waren die häufigen, ausschweifenden Liebesszenen und die offene Brutalität. Das meiste davon war übertrieben und auch nicht relevant für die Story. Trotzdem freue ich mich auf Band zwei um die Entwicklung um die Schattenwölfe weiterzuverfolgen.
