De: Miles English

Narrado por: Johnathan McClain

Bleak dreams are made of this...

The battle of Hammon's Bog is over. The town is free, the undead destroyed, the Witches slain, and the surviving villagers are picking up the remains of their lives. Despite his scars and constant nightmares, Brin is doing his best to move on from the battle against the undead. He's looking to the future, but his past might not be done with him yet.

Soon Brin will learn that not every Witch who tormented him is gone for good, and he won't be able to depend on Hogg and Lumina to protect him in places they cannot reach. He'll need to learn some new tricks, earn some new Skills, and stretch the limits of his Illusionist Class if he wants to survive.

Standout series

I was hoping to like this series, but I ended up loving it. Incredibly good world building, characters, and story. Each book maintains the same level of excellence.

Give it a listen. You won’t regret it.

Excellent series!!!

Really enjoyed this one, sometime it gets a little dark, but love the main character and it’s a unique approach to this genre, can’t wait to see what happens next!!

Quality characters

I do enjoy the slow growth of the lead character but appreciate that we get to follow his group of friends with some characters popping in and out.

Solid, complete story arc for book 3.

That a series like this one has a solid start and finish to its third book is really good.

Stands out of the genre

Amazing narration as usual, solid progression not so much that it feels like there’s no real struggle, but not so little that it feels like the author got lost.

This is one of the newer series that really stands out in this genre!

So good!

Another wonderful book. It all comes together so well at the end. A great mystery.

The Gailen accent is pure aural torture

The rest of the book is just fine, but the Gailen accent used in the Epilogue is so bad it sounds like a record playing in reverse. If the character Gailen has any dialogue in the next book please choose a different accent. I get not wanting a scottish or english accent but literally anything is better than what I just heard. It's dealbreaker bad.

A lot of ‘words’ for so little progress

First 25 chapters were about glass… I think. The rest were some form of tutorial on how Authority works… I think. Oh, and mom’s an abuser of all things… Not that mom… The other one.

The first 2 books of the series were far more intriguing, entertaining, and engaging than this latest installment, at least in my opinion. I don’t mind ‘setup’ or ‘filler’ books where there is a lull in the action while foundational material is shored up…usually. This time around I just couldn’t relate, enjoy, or connect with any characters outside of 3 members of the party that received the quest to rescue the MC back in Book 1 (gooooooo Hogg)… and Paris. We did get out of the starting city though… eventually. Simply put, it is an excruciating slog. I’m also finding it extremely difficult to give 2 kookoobaroo (butchered spelling) snacks about The Rogue or The Weaver. Both have gone from misunderstood to just plain annoying and obnoxious.

Hoping that the next book isn’t as discombobulated as this one… or as this review. I’m not giving up yet… with a final ellipsis…. for good measure.

Amazing!!!

Keep going!!! I want more these books are the best! Please hurry up with the next book. Please and thank you.

the puzzle pieces intensify

ok ok ok, so the first 2 books there was a lot of world building related to the system. in book 3, there is less of that and more focus on current concerns. i liked book 3 but at times I felt confused because the situation the main character finds himself in seem complex, but also things are left hanging. I don't want to give specifics, so I'll keep it vague. I wish there was more explanation for why certain things exist of why things happened. maybe in book 4 things will be cleared up.

overall, fun book.
