So good but too short!

Things happen in this book, but it feels deeply compressed and very drawn out simultaneously. I’m hoping the next book comes fast because I honestly feel like we got very little of the usual cultivation, and a lot more the rest of the series, which is great for one book, but hoping I get my fix of the more normal stuff soon.

Winning!

Another win in the series! I only wish it was longer like prior entries. That being said the continuation of fleshing out characters and history is what I’m here for

Excellent continuation of the series!

This is a very well written and narrated series and I look forward to the next release. Of note is the depth of character growth and interrelationships as the main characters evolve in power, duties and responsibilities, not only in the realm but in home life as well. The interactions between spirits, mortals, and the ‘gods’ is also well presented! Nice work!

I stan Ling Chi.

There are no words to describe how much I love Lung Chi and Natalie’s performance is 💯

Wowowowow!

Diplomatic forrays? Unexpected foes?? Another smash hit! Can't wait for the next book, Y'all've done it again!!

May I humbly request...

...that every book after the first in this series include an accompanying PDF that lists the characters that have shown up in previous books with a short memory jog about who is who? Please? I love this series but find it SO hard to keep track of who's who and spend much of my listening time confused and waiting for a memory jog about which character of the MANY characters with a name that's hard for me to remember is relevant to the scene. I even risked getting spoilers by trying to find a character list online, but associating the sound of each name with its spelling (many of which are spelled differently than I'd imagined they would be) is also challenging when there are so many at once to consider. I intend to re-listen from the beginning and try harder to keep track, maybe even writing my own character list, because I'm sure I'd enjoy the series even more if I wasn't so confused as I listen to it. I have no complaints about this series, just that request. Thank you!

Love this series!

My only complaint it that it wasn't longer!

Not much conflict in this one, but that's fine. The exploration of new locations, and learning more of the different "barbarian" tribes was interesting. I am sad that we wont be seeing much of the sect anymore, and we didn't see much if anything from most of her friends outside of her expeditions group.

I’d almost given up hope

Thank you thank you thank you thank you please make another one oh please oh please

Another good installment but it leaves you wanting more.

First of all this series is great. If you haven’t started listening to it and you enjoy the cultivation genre, start listening to it. Natalie Nadus does a fantastic job Narrating Yrsilars engaging characters and well written prose. This is the slice of life novel at its best. The plot moves the world is built, but ultimately the emphasis always on the characters their lives, motivations and struggles and Yrsilar has a knack for carving out little arcs and stories for even the minor characters, it all weaves together to make a sum that is more then it’s parts.

With that said I want more. The written version of these books is far ahead of the audio but I enjoy the narration and don’t want to spoil it for myself so I wait and then binge every release now I have to wait another 6 months to a year for the next installment. That’s my only complaint.

ended too soon

great book but i think it ended too soon. hopefully we get a new one soon. but if not its ok
