Citybound

A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy (Millennial Mage, Book 9)

De: J.L. Mullins

Narrado por: Tess Irondale

The iron-clad reality of the world will not be denied. Arcanes and humanity continue in an incidental peace, the true threats to Zeme contained for the moment. Gated-humanity thrives within their cycle of cities in their hostile wilderness. Mages and Archons devote their expansive—sometimes immortal—lives to give their people a chance.

Tala, a newly Refined Archon with extraordinary power, grapples with the challenges of immortality, including shedding her mortal mindset and looking toward eternity. In the waning city of Alefast, where potent threats are gathering faster than ever before, Tala begins to fill in the gaps in her knowledge and learn of the potential consequences of her immortality. As she confronts the harsh realities of her existence, she must forge her own path and find meaning in a life that stretches endlessly before her.

Beyond questions of existence, her unique magics and relentless training have left her craving worthy opponents and a sense of purpose. With new friends—and powerful foes—her own immortal life as a Defender of Humanity has just begun.

Phenomenal as always

Another great installment in the series! This book has an excellent balance of slice of life and magic. I love learning more about the world

Not As Good As I Had Hoped

I was severely underwhelmed with the previous book but it ended in a way that made me excited for the release of this one. While this book was certainly not bad and was better than the previous one, I was still left disappointed. It felt like nine tenths of it was the author trying to codify the unique but ridiculous magic system to make it less catastrophicly incohesive. Unfortunately, this came in the form of hours and hours of characters explaining this to Tala or Tala trying to suss it out on her own. So once again, here I am, taunted by an ending that promises good things ahead with the bitter taste of a previous disappointment still in my mouth. Fingers crossed. P.S. Tala also seems to be getting dummer each book.

This edition to the story is primarily setup for future events. I am excited for the next.
