Crutch is nothing. A nobody. Just another orphan making a living with his cunning and wit, exploiting the misfortunes of others. He has nothing but the clothes on his back and the crutch in his hand. But when a deal goes sour, he's thrust into the wide-open sea, where he must prove his courage to himself and the ruthless naval crew of the Auld Faithful. Alone, Crutch has learned that his greatest weakness may also be his greatest advantage. With unlikely allies and new friends at his side, Crutch discovers that the world is wider and more terrifying than he ever imagined.
Ironborn, the first novel in Andrew Cavanagh�s Ironborn Saga, is a fast-paced, action-filled adventure brimming with personality. Crutch, the smart and cunning protagonist, introduces readers to a world overflowing with war, conflict, and adventure. His ability to overcome trials using intellect rather than brute force is truly inspiring. The characters are diverse and engaging, with standouts like Boulder, who brings both humor and heart, truly bringing the story to life. The story is well-written and captivating, the characters are filled with heart, and overall, it is an excellent read. Cavanagh demonstrates a talent for storytelling that keeps his audience captivated. I found myself entranced by Crutch�s wit and journey. Watching him navigate his struggles and turn his disadvantages into strengths kept me thoroughly engaged. The scenes aboard the Auld Faithful are particularly engaging, especially the climbing test, where Crutch�s ingenuity and bravery shine through. The supporting characters, while not as deeply developed as Crutch, add significant value to the narrative. Boulder, with his humor and heart, stands out, bringing moments of levity to the otherwise intense storyline. The camaraderie and conflicts among the crew members are well-depicted, adding layers of complexity to Crutch's journey.
Ironborn is a compelling and fast-paced adventure that will captivate fans of action-filled novels and those who appreciate tales of resilience and ingenuity. Andrew Cavanagh�s skillful writing and rich world-building make this book a must-read.
