Death waits at the Midnight Dunes, and some ride to meet it. Ghosts of the past have led Talmir Caru, Captain of Hearth to spearhead an expedition to the ancestral home of the Emberfolk. There, he intends to find one of the last Sages and see where the immortal's loyalties lie, and whether a silver sword and the will behind it can compel a god to fight on their behalf. Iyana Ve'Ran, living legacy of the Faey Mother joins him on this quest. While her wayward sister seeks to put an end to the War of Sages, Iyana only wants to put the world she loves back together again.

The Midnight Dunes feels similar to the first two books in the series in terms of furthering the overall plot of the elementals and the mighty Sages, but like Book 2's Emerald Road, the deserts of the north are basically a character unto themselves in this one.
I was a little worried that I might not attach to the cast in this book, since the author is pretty straight up at the beginning that this one takes place at the same time as Book 2, and follows the desert caravan as opposed to Kole, Linn and what you might call the A-list of characters.
That said, Talmir and Karin were absolute revelations in this book, and we get a TON more info about how Iyana's Faey powers work. There's also a new major Landkist introduced, and he's probably got the coolest power set in the series so far.
What really made this book was the finale. The first two books had some action-packed endings, but The Midnight Dunes takes the cake for my money. You've got Sages, Landkist and ... demon cannibals? Yes, please.

Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So, when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back. His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game’s three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game’s deepest secrets...if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.

Story and Character First
Revisado: 08-05-21
There's a LOT of LitRPG out there, but IMO there's not a lot of GOOD LitRPG out there, and by that I mean stories that actually care about character and plot and not only about the RPG rules on display. I might be a rarity among genre readers, but to me, the rules are secondary to plot and character, and Shadeslinger has both in spades.
Highly recommended.

The Dark Months have faded, but the light cannot last. For Kole, Linn, and the newly minted heroes of the Valley, their recent victory is short-lived. The King of Ember is alive. But the man who once led his people against the forces of darkness is changed. His mysterious path takes him to the sprawling forest plateau known as Center, leading him to the middle of a war between two would-be gods. Linn, too, is no longer what she once was, as the power of a Sage burns within her. Something Kole must come to accept lest it tear their fellowship apart.

That headline might imply I didn't enjoy Book 1: Valley of Embers. Quite the opposite. But The Emerald Blade keeps the focus on most of the main POVs from the first Landkist book while hugely expanding the world as Kole, Linn, Baas, Misha and Jenk head to the Emerald Road, which is just an awesome fantasy jungle environment with all sorts of deadly enemies and incredible landscapes.
No spoilers, but we're also treated to another major POV from the "opposing side," if you want to call it that. This POV makes for some of the best chapters in the book.
Awesome action (after a bit of a slow start,) and incredible imagery really gets your imagination going.
This series is getting interesting ...

When Kole Reyna, Ember of Last Lake is wounded by a demon unlike any they have seen before, the Emberfolk believe it is a sign of an ancient enemy returned - a powerful Sage known as the Eastern Dark. With the tribes of the valley besieged, the land's mightiest champions rise up to meet the coming threat, but even the combined might of the last Embers and their elemental kin may not be enough to stem the tide of chaos.

Tolkien meets Miyazaki indeed ...

A truly unique epic fantasy that blends eastern and classic western epic fantasy traditions, with an elemental magic system and a huge cast of characters. This one isn't just about a dude with fire swords. There's a lot more than meets the eye. Well worth investing the time, and I think it's only going to get bigger from here.
