The Coward

First off, the audiobook is the way to go with this book!
Second, this book is vastly better than the average 3.82 stars It's been given. One of the most unique stories I've read with zero common tropes.

The story follows Kell who as an adolescent tagged along a band of warriors who were sent to to kill the Ice Lich (witch). Only he was the only one to survive and he became very popular but he lived a miserable life afterwards because the Lich put a curse on him before he killed her. Everything he touched ended in ruin and his romances ended in death.

10 years later and the Lich is back and he's called upon to kill her again but he feels like he got lucky the first time and doesn't want to chance fate twice (hence The Coward).

He must go to the frozen north with a cast of wannabe warriors to face her once again.

What you get from this book is great writing, great characters, character growth, and grim tale that smashes through any trope making it to where you have no idea what's going to happen.

Ive read a book by Aryan before and didn't much care for it but this is exceptional and I think everyone should read this.
