Nothing happens until the last chapter or 2, then in the next book it goes back to nothing happening.

Revisado: 04-18-25

These books are 90% filler, just random interactions or discussing the same issues repeatedly with no new information.
Despite being a series about an impending magical apocalypse where MC is the only wizard and therefore the only person who can stop it, in practice the series has almost no plot. I've looked up discussions of further books in the series and seemingly nothing changes. Half of the few potential problems get solved by accident by entirely unrelated characters with no consequences to the story.

If you like urban fantasy stories where nothing ever happens and it's just people talking, this is for you.

90% Filler

Revisado: 03-16-25

First 90% of the book can be summed up as "MC and gf improve their teamwork via wacky activities." Many could have been fun as one offs, but 13h of a 14h book is that stuff. You could probably give a 1 paragraph summary of the book to someone and tell them to skip it and they'd presumably have the same book 6 experience, but with less tedium.

Dunno if the author just lost all idea of where to take the story or what, but this was an outright bad entry in an otherwise good series.

Nevermore is too long

Revisado: 03-07-25

The beginning of the book acknowledges the arc is too long, and then spends the entire book on 4 challenge dungeons, with 1 to go. Self awareness with a failure to correct the problem.
Nevermore is presumably gonna be at least half of the next book and I just... don't care. I care about the end of Nevermore and the repercussions, I do not care anymore what happens inside of it.

unexplained nonsense

Revisado: 03-04-25

The author continually has magic act oddly or people act oddly and never explains any of it.
example, humans entering a safe zone that monsters can't enter, except the assassin also can't enter. Why not? They're human. But everyone just takes it as an assumption they can't enter with no explanation of why. Those types of things are EVERYWHERE. The banter is the only good thing about the series. The plot and character choices are total nonsense you're expected to never question at all, else absolutely all of it falls apart.

End of book 3 is total trash

Revisado: 01-22-25

Ending of book 3 is so shit it makes me not want to continue the series.
Also, book 1 has a lot of instances of the narrator obviously misreading a word. saying fanatically when frantically would make more sense, or pronouncing visor as vee-sore.

PSA:Don't bother continuing this series

Revisado: 12-12-24

Nothing happens. Plot moves along at a crawl, wastes significant chunks of time on things that aren't ever relevant. Feels like the author doesn't have any plans and just writes whatever comes to him in the moment, so long as whatever comes to him doesn't advance the plot meaningfully.

nonsense, series was infinitely better before the crossovers

Revisado: 08-12-24

The series is nonsense at this point. The early parts of this book had me constantly wondering if pages or even chapters were missing because things were so all over the place.
really, the series began a steep decline in book 2 when it stopped being its own series and instead became a vehicle to collide with the authors other series(which I absolutely do not recommend, unless you like graphic sex with an ant woman)

Series has gone downhill.

Revisado: 12-13-22

Recent books have ended on pretty flat and unexciting notes, this series really should have found a way to wrap up 5+ books ago. I'm along for the ride cause I'm this far in and loved the early books, but for awhile now the story hasn't felt like a logical progression, it's felt like a cash cow milked way past its expiration date.

Too many things going on

Revisado: 07-13-22

Too many split up characters and separate stories going on for a single book of this length. Felt unfinished. Overall just kinda lackluster and sloppy feeling, like a character being outright told something as fact, then we don't hear his perspective for 60% of the book and when we get back to him he has a thought speculating the exact thing he was told as a fact. He isn't questioning the truth, it's treated as an independent thought as if he was never told anything. Stuff like that.
If you're this far into the series you might as well continue, but this and the last are significantly behind the first 3 in quality, this being the worst in the series. (not counting Nora's books, she's awful)

Also, the 2 additional narrators? They have 1 character apiece which is really weird and unnecessary, especially with both characters being very minor. Made it a bit jarring the few times they actually had lines.
