great continuation

still enjoying the series but I do NOT like the fade to black scenes. there are 2 spicy scenes and the rest are fade to black. nobody likes a tease!

another great story

Arden and his team of sexy and badass women continued a epic story progressing to another book and making you want the next audiobook immediately. readers as always were perfect my personal favorite. only negative is a bit more detail love scene for each woman at least once per each not implied.

Another great book!!!

I seriously love these books. i cannot wait for the next one. the voice actors get again. Let's do a great job. I would recommend this series to anyone.

Bruce my guy your books are amazing. I literally buy them right as thy drop thank you for the adventure and fantasy.

Do not start here go back and start from the beginning this book is worth catching up to the characters are awesome the mc fresh in a star lord meets Peter Parker kind of way brilliant but can't contain his nervous energy. power scaling is really handled we to the point where even the gods have chips in their armor that seem reasonable to exploit.

The love feels real in everyone jealousy, worry, all done in such a way where the harem seems more real then monogamous relationships I read or listen to in these kinds of stories.

this series and pretty much anything else from bruce is a instant buy and you won't regret it.

Please address audio clicks! Distractingly Awful!

Click, click, click… This is not the first book, nor is it the first time this has been commented on by myself or other listeners. Dragon Justice 9, the new DD remix, etc… All are picking up what sounds like mouse clicks in the background. At this point it’s nigh impossible for me to believe the recording studio/group is unaware of this issue. If those who are recording aren’t held accountable by the authors and listeners, don’t expect them to correct the issues themselves. You’d think pride and professionalism would be enough, but it hasn’t been for a few months of various releases thus far.

As to the story, I’ll just say the MC is an overacted, melodramatic annoyance I could live without. On the bright side I enjoy the cast of girls quite a bit. Heck, almost all the cast is entertaining outside the MC. I get that he’s meant to be flippant and dismissive, but it permeates the story so thoroughly that when a serious moment comes up, I have zero desire to waste any emotional currency to buy in to what’s being offered. Every time Ard puts his hand to his chest, I’m saddled with an urge to put my hand on the author’s… err, I mean Ard’s (keys are like right next to each other) face. Professional studies have been released linking extreme violent tendencies to excessive clicking noises… just sayin’.

P.S, It’s pronounced Ree-Gayled, not Ree-Gal-D. Damn Canadian dictionaries need better oversight. No doubt A-boot it!

I hate so much that it's over.

Another home run all around. The consistency of high tear writing and voice acting is much appreciated and I'm already crumbling a little inside waiting for book 6.

*Long sigh*

Well Mr. Sentar, i finished it a little later then i wanted to but...damn. you did great, everything was fantastic and i was actually a little fearful for what might happen when they got to Fargo but yeah. only complaint is how Zuri has felt distant(outside of the distance that the plot demands of someone who lost their parents) and i really wished we could have gotten her bonding chapter instead of it being skipped over, also i'm fervently hoping Aurelia get's her bonding and it's a lovely affair, i see that my wishes for a little more spice over the last two books were heard in the past heheh, but seriously the already majorly impressive and stunning artwork you and all those associated have displayed from book 1 has only increased and perfected, some funny easter egg's along the way and i like the little pokes at modern terms being invented by Ard or just being his head cannon. also, the magnet thing. that was funny. oh and i'm demanding that that closing chapter. what Eva did. need more so keep that shit coming. go crazy with that this is going to be fun, everyone needs a chapter with magic fun in the bed. i see many options for how the relationships can develop even more and how the bedroom can expand for all of them heheh, oh and don't leave Emlyn out been missing a chapter for her for a while, would love to see Ard's first wife getting her well deserved recognition and some more love as far as the spicy comes, and i'd love to hear her being called wife or Emlyn Aldis heheheh. okay...Ahem. apologies but i was a bit of a gremlin for this review, i'm so excited and joyful with this series and terrified, the magic, the growth, the personalities. all of it is so lovely and some of it is perfectly upsetting and sad. i can only hope to be allowed to experience more of this work of art.

Seems to be getting worst book by book

Ard is becoming more and more immature as the books progress. same with Spicy(18+) scenes, each book is having less and less. Same with MC's Magic Progression, he has some of the most powerful magic yet his control/overall power hasn't increased AT ALL. Heckket literally offered him a book on how to use his Soul to control the world's magic yet he just joked around it and dismissed her offer. This Novel has some of the worst Power Cock Blocking I've ever seen an author do.

Punching Bag and Impulsive

Honestly just feels like Ard's regressed mentally when it comes to maturity which while convenient for the story isn't enjoyable for the listener.

Ontop of that the first section where Ard is being pushed around despite doing the majority of the work, while also getting harassed over a destroyed fortress that's easily repairable and easily destroyed... Wasn't fun.

Hoping his character gets a bit more attention.

tapping out

Normally I really like Bruce's books. This series is just not for me, the mc is just too annoying. the puns have just gotten really old, 0 character growth in all these books.
