Holy batblin on a stick!

Revisado: 09-01-24

tldr:Get it.
This latest installment took me and my imagination, and dragged us through an experience like no other: I found myself with hopes and dreams and an entirely new life in a strange world. I feel fulfilled from the story and empty for it having an end. Im waitng for more in the best way possible, but dang, I might just start it again to experienxe it on more time.

Pact alongside me, and see what comes next!

Delicious like the last piece of cake

Revisado: 06-09-23

The final book delivers struggle, power and satisfaction in spades. Despite seeing the overall shape of the picture, the journey remained engagjng and suspensful.

Overall this is a beautifully concluded series that you're sad to finish, but know you enjoyed every step of the way. The shine on this book is enough to see your own reflection in. Metaphorically speaking - it's not a mirror.

Stop reading this and go enjoy it!

A good start

Revisado: 10-14-22

I enjoyed it, the MC clearly has some growing to do, but the mechanics seem interesting with lots of potential world building ahead!

The preformance was quite good, but sometimes felt over-emphasized. Overall added much more quality than distracted.

Like a potato - a staple, but not fancy.

Revisado: 04-26-22

Nothing wrong with a good staple, and obviously I listened to the whole thing so I was hooked enough to not give up (listened at 2.0 speed mostly). Great narration.

It felt like the author's publicist or manager just made him write a fantasy trilogy: character growth was minimal, the magic that's austensibly an important part plays a minor role to most of the MC's problems. Miscommunication and misinterpretation were the main plot point drivers. The magic was largely ill-defined hand waiving system, but it felt unearned with the most compliant MC in the world.

SPOILERS AHEAD


All this time was spent building up Corin's angst, only for him to basically shrug it off as reasonable behaviours of those around him.
It's one thing to have a grandstanding spaceship captain bullshitting to put a spin on a simple solution, but it's another to just let the MC's magic senses lead him to a "just go kill the enemy" solution.
The unresolved restoration of magic powers at the end just leaves so many loose ends: is it a tragic marriage of a long lived wizard to a mortal then? Does Corin teach himself magic, and what are his limits? Does the kingdom become an empire? Where did the demon even come from and why? bleh. I certainly am marking this as the final book in the series, regardless of whether there's more.

Entertaining story, distracting volume changes

Revisado: 06-28-21

The narrator is enthusiastic, and honestly has potential, but the volume change based on the voice is ridiculous. I constantly had to adjust the volume whenever the system announcer yelled anything, because it was literal yelling, and then readjust because of the low growl of the MC being too quiet by comparison. Equalize the volume please.

A bitingly good time

Revisado: 04-08-21

I devoured this book, and it's fun rapscalion portrayal from a *slightly* misunderstood perspective. For the end of the world, for friendship, and for unknown commitments to mysterious entities who definitely won't be anything but helpful down the road. Enjoy this treat.

Delicious character progression, plots uncovered, and power developed. The pacing this series is like a perfect drip of nirvana and just so. darn. satisfying.

Book 2 Delivers Intensity

Revisado: 12-21-20

This story metaphorically grabbed me and pulled me out of a plane to go skydiving. Except I didn't even know I was on a plane. Or that I had a parachute. It's that intense.

The story maintains a lot of mystery around cultivation, but wow does it pack a fast paced punch plot wise. Some aspects become clearer about it (never a long info dump), and it seems like no character is ever wasted. I love it and can't wait to see who pops up down the road!

I just wish the books are longer, but given all the pieces being set up on this galactic multi-dimensional world, I'm pretty sure my wish will be granted in book 3!
