Travis Kuffle has masterfully built a world and characters that you can immerse yourself in. I loved the two main characters and some of the secondary characters as well. I particularly enjoyed all the realm hopping as they traveled from one place to another.
My only thing was, I kept putting the book down and coming back to it. I was and did find it interesting, but I found it slow in some places. All in all it was a really good fantasy tale that many fantasy readers will immerse themselves into.

I really enjoyed this story. It has a good plot, interesting characters, and good worldbuilding.

I particularly liked the main characters throughout the book as we came across them. Some of the secondary characters are also quite interesting, and I would like to know more about them.

The only real downside to this book is that it is very repetitive leading to it being overly long and slowing the pace. It needs a really good edit.

3.5 stars rounded up

Unleashed is a fantasy adventure that drew me in from the first page and didn't let go until the final word. The story revolves around Cadel, a formidable warrior thrust into a world of elite fighters, ancient powers, and destiny. His encounter with a young thief sets off a chain reaction, sending them on a perilous journey across the diverse realms of Ganden. Taking readers from the Midbaros Desert to the jungle realm of Tamayar, this book creates a tapestry of epic proportions. What captivated me the most was the seamless blend of character development, intricate world-building, and a plot filled with twists and turns. As Cadel grapples with his choices and the long-dormant power of Hadrek awakens, the stakes are raised, and the threat of war looms. Unleashed is a great read that immerses you in a fantasy world where every decision shapes the fate of the realms.

Gear up, fantasy fanatics! Unleashed is like a wild ride on a dragon – full of twists, turns, and enough epic battles to make even Gandalf jealous. Picture this: Cadel, a hulking warrior with a heart of gold, stumbles into a hot mess involving thieves, ancient powers, and a chase that makes 'Fast and Furious' look like a Sunday stroll. It's a realm-hopping extravaganza from the Lobana Forest to the Niph'al Swamps, and you better believe it's a rollercoaster of mythical proportions. The characters are as fierce as a dragon's breath, and the world-building is so immersive, you'll feel the sand between your toes in Midbaros and the jungle humidity of Tamayar. But what really had me hooked? The stakes, my friends. With war on the horizon and Hadrek's power waking up like a grumpy giant, Cadel is about to be unleashed, and you don't want to miss it. So, grab your swords, wizard staff, or whatever floats your fantasy boat – 'cause Ganden is calling, and Unleashed is the answer you've been waiting for!
