About this listen

Protect and serve has become protect and rule.

There's a new sheriff in town. Rob has survived the first few weeks. He still doesn't have any magic but all his training has led to a new ability. The prompts call it cultivation, but no one seems to know anything about it. So far he can use it to make himself stronger, faster, better but it's a lot of work.

Now he has to juggle the many responsibilities of the sheriff as he tries to make Yonderton a safe place for all the people looking to him.

Speaking of juggling, he has to sort out the bunny girl clerk, the foxkin deputy, the secretive elven alchemist, and the would be father-in-law who is intent on Rob marrying his orc daughter.

Just another day for the sheriff.

Depth

Was a great continuation of the first book. One thing to note is the recurring Phrases and reuseage of the same lines. Does get a little stale with descriptions of the characters. However It deepens the understanding of all characters and developments of the events.

An excellent sequel

I'll be honest I'm a sucker for a David Burke book. I enjoy seeing an author improve as they go on and Law of Family is a fantastic example of that. In book 2 of the Four Laws, we see our Main character not only coming to terms with the new dangers he has to face but taking them head-on. One of my favorite parts of a David Burke book is that the hero strives to improve and takes wild risks for their gains. In this book, the risks are bigger and the gains are huge combined with awesome fight scenes and we have an amazing adventure. Finally, the narrators both are fantastic and really bring every scene to life.

Nice sequel

It’s hard to review the book 100% favorably but the reason is a bit of a spoiler so I’m just going to say that while I understand the reason, the sheer number of times the MC loses consciousness is so often he even mentions it. It will feel like he’s actually progressing with his Cultivation when he can 1) remain conscious, and 2) he stops being reactive and starts being proactive. I won’t say how but the ending was…disappointing. But it’s obviously a great story or it wouldn’t affect me, lol.

A Frosty Review of "Law of Family" by Kiba Snowpaw

Introduction:
Greetings, denizens of the vast realms! I am Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf from the frozen world of HowlStrom, where winters last a century and magic flows as cold as the icy rivers. Today, I shall share my thoughts on "Law of Family" by David Burke, a tale that has resonated with my icy heart.

Basic Plot Summary:
In the town of Yonderton, Rob, the new sheriff, strives to maintain order and safety. Despite lacking magic, he discovers a unique ability known as cultivation. As he navigates the challenges of his role, he encounters a myriad of characters: a bunny girl clerk, a foxkin deputy, a mysterious elven alchemist, and an orc father-in-law with matrimonial intentions for his daughter. Amidst these challenges, Rob's journey is one of growth, responsibility, and the complexities of relationships.

Analysis/Evaluation:
"Law of Family" is a tale that intertwines fantasy with elements of cultivation, presenting a world where magic and relationships are deeply interconnected. The narrative delves into Rob's struggles, both internal and external, as he grapples with his newfound abilities and the expectations placed upon him.

Characters:
The ensemble of characters is diverse and intriguing. From the enigmatic elven alchemist to the passionate foxkin deputy, each character adds depth and color to the narrative. Their interactions with Rob provide insight into the complexities of relationships in this magical realm.

Structure:
The story unfolds in a structured manner, with each chapter building upon the previous, leading the reader deeper into the world of Yonderton. The pacing is well-balanced, allowing for moments of introspection amidst the action.

Impact:
The tale left an indelible mark on my frosty heart. It reminded me of the challenges we face in our own realms, the importance of family, and the bonds that tie us together.

Hook and Thesis:
The allure of "Law of Family" lies in its unique blend of fantasy and cultivation, set against the backdrop of a town teetering on the edge of chaos. It is a tale of growth, responsibility, and the intricate dance of relationships.

Praise and Critique:
I commend Burke for crafting a world rich in detail and characters that resonate with depth. However, some reviews suggest that the balance between the harem aspect and the plot could be better refined. While the narrative is engaging, there are moments where the focus on relationships overshadows the broader storyline.

Evaluation:
"Law of Family" is a captivating read, offering a fresh perspective on the fantasy genre. While there are areas for improvement, the tale stands as a testament to the complexities of relationships and the challenges of personal growth.

Comparison:
The tale evokes memories of other fantasy epics, yet it carves its own niche with its unique blend of cultivation and character-driven narrative. It stands as a beacon, reminiscent of the icy landscapes of HowlStrom, yet distinct in its warmth and depth.

Conclusion:
In the vast expanse of literature, "Law of Family" shines as a tale of magic, relationships, and the journey of self-discovery. As the Alpha Ice Wolf of HowlStrom, I find solace in its pages, and I invite you to embark on this journey with Rob and the denizens of Yonderton. May your path be illuminated by the frosty glow of magic and the warmth of bonds forged in adversity.

Howl with pride and read with passion,
Kiba Snowpaw

too many intermissions

I truly enjoyed the first book because it did a lot to set the base of the story. unfortunately I struggled with the second one for too much interlude into side parts of the story that as of right now do not affect the main storyline. As well as too much concentration on the continuation of the main characters bodybuilding exercises.

Was Worth Sticking With

Definitely glad I stuck through some of the slower parts in the first book. As the story builds it has gotten more interesting.

Really good

Okay i really liked but i feel somewhat robbed because of the way the back street boys were dealt with, it feels like there's no closure there's only a comment of oh yeah another gang rules now especially since he got the crap beat out of him by them but still was an entertaining listen and look forward for the next one

I'm really enjoying this series.

That was awesome! keep it up, I wasn't sure i was going to lile it but, it os really good. The story is good and it keeps you a little confused about who is good besides the main character and crew or if all of the other and their agendas are bad. love it! ❤️

Continues a great story

I read one review about stupid decisions and honestly just don't get it.

The MC acts and doesn't always do the best thing but he is in the heat of
battle. I find that type of MC to be more realistic and relatable.

I love how much he is a take charge kind of MC and definitely goes at it.
He is creating a cultivation system from scratch and taking charge of his life.

The battle against his arch-rival definitely showed his growth from the first book.
