Into the Wildbarrens by Christian Sterling

I gave Into the Wildbarrens by Christian Sterling a 4 star rating.

Firstly, I would love to give a huge thank-you to the Author for sending me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I appreciate it endlessly!

This book was brilliant! It was filled with action and the characters were always on the move, developing the story with every page that was read. There were a few things that I loved about this book which included :
- The diversity of the characters, especially our main companions. This made it really easy to decipher who was who especially when it came to meeting them and their introduction in the story.
- It was well developed in the sense of where characters were going. I read this feeling like the author knew where the characters were going and had a great sense of direction.
- The banter and humour in the story is a strong highlight for me. The journey is very serious, but the balance of the humour really helps to bring some lightness to the story.
- The pace is very steady. I didn't ever feel like we were stuck in a place for too long or that the author was simply filling in space.
- World Building was phenomenal! I loved every area that the author sent us to and felt so deeply immersed in each new area we went to.

There were only a few things with the story that I didn't enjoy, but I feel like these were more of a personal preference. For example, I found sometimes the dialogue between characters was a bit bland and flat, and at times the Main Character didn't feel like the character we were introduced to.

Overall, Into the Wildbarrens was a book I loved to read and would recommend it to anybody who is looking for an adventure with some very chaotic, funny and exciting characters!
