Trorm Coldstorm is a foreign exchange student come to study magic at the arcane academy. Thing is, he's an orc.

Trorm finds himself facing a slew of stereotypes and misconceptions about who, and what, he is. Everyone he meets expects him to be a dumb savage who's just there to play football. But Trorm is not dumb. He's a skilled wizard in his own right, and when he finds himself embroiled in a dark plot by sinister cultists, he'll show everyone just how intelligent and savage he truly is.

REVIEWS...

"The thing I like about it most is its amusing reading about humans (mostly, there are other species like elves, beast kin, nagas and whatever, but mostly humans) through the eyes of an orc, along with a little cultural dissection. The orc is smart, though, he’s at college studying magic. Someone makes him a pair of glasses that give him a HUD that helps him decipher others’ emotions, because orc emotions are usually pretty straight forward, like “biting your face because of anger” and “biting your face because of lust.” Well, not really, but the glasses basically turn the world into a kind of dating game even though he’s not actually looking for a mate."

"Trorm is a fun character to follow around. This story was full of humor and was a fun silly tale to listen to. I really want a pair of Trorm sunglasses! I must steal them! They have a special little enchantment that gives him a readout on the inside for his eyes only; the glasses can read facial expressions and body language so the readout tells Trorm what their emotions are, gender, and their interest level in him.

So there’s plenty of typical college life aspects to the story. Trorm is the only orc, and a foreign exchange student, who’s living at a family house nearby. Abigail and her sister do their best to keep Trorm out of trouble, but trouble seems to follow him. Toss in the frat boys (led by Arlan) plus the challenge of stealing a paperweight, and Trorm is digging his own hole.

Winnie, a bunny girl shifter, is a silly character. I first found her a little annoying but later on she kicks some serious teeth in and I loved that about her. In the end, I wanted to hangout with her.

As for the harem aspect of the story (as the full title implies), there wasn’t a harem. More than one lady is interested in Trorm, but he ends up in bed with just 1 lady. That lady doesn’t mind sharing, so perhaps the harem aspect will show up in Book 2. The sex scenes are decently written even if they are a little cliched when it comes to orc sex."
