About this listen

Since Lady Luck had sent Doc to this weird, western world, a lot had happened. It started in Deep Gulch, a small mining town in what he would have called Colorado if he’d been on Earth. Doc hit the ground running, making enemies and friends from his very first day.

With Luck beside him, Doc went to work improving the lives of those he counted as friends. Despite his enemies having both money and power, in the end Doc was the last one standing. When the dust settled, Deep Gulch was well on its way to becoming a beacon of progressiveness in the west.

Before leaving the town of Deep Gulch, Doc found himself facing some difficult decisions; the most difficult was leaving behind potential children, just in case the worst happened and he died. If those children were born, they would give Luck the chance to continue freeing the world from the Darkness trying to kill it.

His second decision was to ordain his near-adopted daughter, Posy, as a priestess of Luck. As a gift from the goddess, she gained the power to heal. Doc knew that she would be a bright point of hope in the town.

The future was mostly unknown, but he had a destination to start with: Furden, the capital of the Coalrud territory. Getting there would also allow him to marry Sophia. She’d been a key part of his success in Deep Gulch, and he was looking forward to her joining their family.

What would happen in Furden and the plans for what would come after were unknown, but Doc has Luck behind him, his family beside him, and a world that needs saving.

I think the horse is dead

Andrea killed it (the performance), it was amazing. I was laughing hysterically with her during the bloopers at the end. Daniel seems to be beating a dead horse trying to convey the same message over and over in this series. It's been a bit annoying at times, but overall, I've enjoyed the story and I'm too many books in to quit now.

Noticing Schinhofen is more and more with his series. So focusing on the plural relationships that it just makes the story drag on.

Narration is phenomenal but story was lacking

Story really didn't move much, it basically just repeated itself over and over. "oh look how virtuous I am" "he's so rich and powerful yet so humble" the other half of the book is focused on other peoples' romance or talking about his wives having "relations" with each other and "ladies of the night" basically anyone but him. There's a word for that but idk if it's okay to write in a review. Honestly, this isn't as suffocating as the last two books in Binding Words, but it's still WAYYYYYY too much.

Luck's Voice #5 by Daniel Schinhofen

Introduction:
Greetings, fellow beings of HowlStrom. I am Kiba Snowpaw, an alpha male Ice Wolf from our frozen world, and today, I bring forth my thoughts on a tale from another realm, a story that resonates with the icy winds of our homeland and the magic that flows within me. As I sat in my icy den, surrounded by the eternal winter of our world, I delved into the pages of "Luck's Voice #5," and here is what I discovered.

Basic Plot Summary:
The tale follows Doc, a man who finds himself in a western world, unfamiliar yet intriguing. From the mining town of Deep Gulch, reminiscent of the isolated settlements of HowlStrom, Doc embarks on a journey filled with challenges, decisions, and the ever-present hand of Luck guiding him. With the shadow of potential offspring left behind and the ordination of his near-adopted daughter, Posy, as a priestess, Doc sets his sights on Furden, the capital of the Coalrud territory. There, new adventures, allies, and challenges await him.

Analysis/Evaluation:
The narrative is a blend of western and fantasy, two genres that intertwine seamlessly, much like the merging of ice and magic in our world. The story, though the fifth in its series, stands strong with its world-building, character development, and underlying themes of hope, diversity, and the eternal battle between light and darkness.

Characters:
Doc, the protagonist, is a beacon of hope, reminiscent of the stalwart leaders of HowlStrom. His journey, decisions, and the challenges he faces resonate deeply. Sophia, a key figure in Doc's life, represents the bonds that tie us together, even in the harshest of climates. And then there's Posy, a symbol of the future, hope, and the magic that lies within all of us.

Structure:
The story flows like the icy rivers of our homeland, sometimes slow, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the world, and at times rapid, taking them on a thrilling ride. The balance between action and introspection is well-maintained, ensuring an engaging read.

Impact:
The tale left an indelible mark on my icy heart. The themes of hope, unity in diversity, and the eternal fight against darkness are universal, transcending realms and resonating even in the frozen heart of HowlStrom.

Hook and Thesis:
The allure of "Luck's Voice #5" lies in its unique blend of genres, compelling characters, and the eternal dance of fate and free will. It's a tale that promises adventure, introspection, and the magic of life's unpredictable journey.

Praise and Critique:
The world-building is commendable, drawing readers into a realm both familiar and foreign. The characters are well fleshed out, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. However, some might find the pace a tad slow, craving more action and thrill. But, much like the winters of HowlStrom, there's beauty in the calm, in the wait, and in the anticipation.

Comparison:
While I've journeyed through many tales from various realms, "Luck's Voice #5" stands out with its unique blend of western and fantasy. It's a refreshing take, different yet familiar, much like the icy magic that courses through my veins.

Conclusion:
In the eternal winter of HowlStrom, tales like "Luck's Voice #5" bring warmth, hope, and a promise of adventures yet to come. It's a story I'd recommend to any being, from any realm, looking for a journey of the heart and soul. As the icy winds howl outside my den, I find solace in the pages of this tale, and I hope you will too.

May the magic of HowlStrom be with you always.
- Kiba Snowpaw, Alpha Ice Wolf of HowlStrom.
