Trorm Coldstorm is a foreign exchange student come to study magic at the arcane academy. Thing is, he's an orc.
Trorm finds himself facing a slew of stereotypes and misconceptions about who, and what, he is. Everyone he meets expects him to be a dumb savage who's just there to play football. But Trorm is not dumb. He's a skilled wizard in his own right, and when he finds himself embroiled in a dark plot by sinister cultists, he'll show everyone just how intelligent and savage he truly is.

Just a weird, weird book.
I'm finding this a really hard book to review.
Not because of the content or the setting (Fantasy is my 'thang' and, while I don't like sexual-content in books I have come to accept it now and it doesn't affect me in any way)but it's one of those weird situations where the book and the narrator are so totally opposed!
Story-wise, I have no major complaints. It's a pretty standard fare with a minority character trying to fit in where others feel he shouldn't belong with a cool-kid who's the villain and plenty of hot girls fawning over the new boy.
Action is good, the magic is well described and the combat exciting enough but there does seem a significant lack of threat throughout most of the scenes but the underlining mystery of who the 'bag-guy'is works well enough.
Sexual-content is explicit and sometimes feels a little over-the-top considering the characters it involves and the setting but I guess this is a world populated by Orcs and Bunny-girls so realism isn't the flavour of the day.
My issue with all of this is that, while the narrator is good, she's wholly unsuitable for the role! While she vocalises well and is perfectly listenable (once you get past the strange lift at the end of every word) but when the book is from the perspective of a huge, butch, aggressive alpha-orc, having a feminine voice simply does not work and totally took me out of the book continually throughout.
All in all, I can't recommend the book in its current format. If recorded anew with a male narrator I would be happy to increase the overall to 4 but she's just wrong here and I assume she was chosen purely due to her success as a reader of erotica.

Different but fun
I was given a free code and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Having an Orc as the main character was different but the book was fun and I am looking forward to listening too book 2.
