Episode Description

Could Kings of the Wyld really be as good as people say?


In this Fantasy for the Ages review, Jim finally dives into Nicholas Eames’ wildly popular 2017 fantasy novel — a story about a legendary band of mercenaries getting back together for one last adventure. With monsters roaming the land, ancient dangers lurking beyond the frontier, and a desperate mission to rescue a friend’s daughter from a besieged city, Kings of the Wyld delivers a fast-paced fantasy romp packed with humor, heart, and unforgettable characters.


This book has been recommended to Jim for years by viewers and fellow content creators alike. Now, thanks to a gorgeous special edition from The Broken Binding, it finally rose to the top of the TBR. In this spoiler-lite review, Jim discusses the story, what makes it so entertaining, who might enjoy it most, and whether the hype surrounding this fan-favorite fantasy novel is justified.


Is Kings of the Wyld a must-read fantasy classic… or simply a very fun adventure?


Let’s talk about it.
