Very forced will not read any further

Revisado: 03-16-24

A bunch of parts of the book might as well not exist. They are called out as important, emphasized, and would have been relevant but are completely ignored later.

Solid sequel

Revisado: 12-08-23

Picks up from where the captain left off. No real surprises, but a fun story.

Characters act rather stupidly repeatedly…

Revisado: 12-01-23

Captain ransom makes little sense as a character. The whole arc on the mistshark makes little sense, and the chronology seems extremely strange ( Albion spire arc timing seems very odd — it apparently takes longer to go down a spire than go to a different spire ?? )

Not really a great sequel

Revisado: 11-05-23

The main issue I have is that the pacing seems all over the place. The first parts of the book really drag. It does get better, but it’s hard to make up for that poor pacing.

Seems like the author didn’t really know what to do with the final revelation from the first book given the lip service given to it. Time is spent on it, but it’s lacking actual content.

Write what you know???

Revisado: 10-16-23

Not 100% sure what the author is going for here. The mc has knowledge I would not ascribe to a 15 year old, but also has the same kind of mistaken knowledge level of high school at best.

She makes false statements of fact repeatedly that would better follow having finished high school. If they are intentional to match her level of education that’s one thing, but I get the feeling that’s not actually the intent of the author. Since the character will spend a long time expounding on false premises.

Other than that, it’s not bad, it’s also not really that good though.

The story does not get better

Revisado: 10-04-23

Listened honestly far too long into book 7. It’s poorly written like a ten year old power fantasy but not even interestingly written.

Highly do not recommend. Trash is trash.

Author does info dumps for side quest characters and not even in a remotely clever fashion. The narrator just passively says xyz happens not character x thinks or says z or does z.

No idea how there are any positive reviews whatsoever.

Mediocre story

Revisado: 09-30-23

Highly inconsistent and fairly unbelievable. The ten year old has the chi stores of everyone else with much higher cultivation levels.
Sure he is more skilled with it, but it’s claimed early on he has essentially no chi whatsoever. That is never properly explained away.

Meh burger

Revisado: 09-23-23

Nothing really new here. Honestly this is done better by many many other iterations on similar books.

It’s well written, but nothing really spectacular. Only real attraction might be if you love cats.

Mediocre. Boxy wanna be

Revisado: 08-21-23

Sample audio is misleading, there isn’t nearly enough mimic interaction to save this audiobook.

There were numerous statements that were repeated throughout the novel that only really needed to be said once.

Overall the authors seem fans of tell rather than show. Which is the opposite of how you would normally want writing.

That said saved by Jeff’s performance of the mimic. By far the highlight.

Teeth grinding bad

Revisado: 04-29-23

The MC ( Erin ) is incredibly naive to the point of being unbelievable. Story moves so slowly you can skip most chapters and not notice.

Good performance barely makes it listenable. Maybe worth a two for one at 5$ that’s about it.
