Gray Wolf: A legends of Ansu fantasy by J.W. Webb
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Corin an Fol is a simple teenager living in his small village and loves his family. When one day Pirates pillage his village and he attempts to warn them only to watch his father die, something inside him is unleashed. Corin is consumed with revenge and will do most anything to exact his revenge and find his missing sister, even join a notorious elite military unit, intent on gaining as much training as he can to aid him in his quest. This is the first book in a series and the stage is set with characters, motives, world building and much more.
I am unsure if I will continue the series. On one hand, we have a story worthy of Conan the Barbarian, complete with damsels in distress, heroes who cannot be vanquished and a true good vs. evil undertone of the plot. However, the story, is pretty misogynistic, a la “Tarnsman of Gor”. There is some issues with the worldbuilding and inconsistencies throughout, that easily jarred me out of the story, which became a bit annoying.
