Threads of Destiny: Volume 4

Destiny Cycle, Book 7

De: Yrsillar

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

Preparations. Preparations for war. Preparations for diplomacy.

The world is in motion, and Ling Qi can hardly count the number of loose ends and new business she has to tie up. Her great task lies before her, a great summit with the people of the south to determine what the future will be. Still, the Argent Peak Sect stirs to war with both the tribes of the sky and the creatures of the deep earth. But first comes the great end-of-year tournament. She is not a participant this time but an observer, and all the more enmeshed in politics that swirl around it. More and more, she is reminded of how small the Sect can be and how vast is the world that lies outside.

Inspired by ancient folklore, modern martial arts, and Xianxia, Threads of Destiny cultivates a world both fantastic in setting yet familiar in the humanity of its inhabitants. Don't miss this installment of one of the most popular titles on Royal Roads—with over 7 million reads—elegantly performed by Earphones Award-winning voice artist Natalie Naudus.

Incomplete

Each of the previous stories had a clear arc to a climax and a respite at the end. This one, however, just ended while it felt like was still building. The big enemy revealed in the last book was only encountered in the background or at minor points. No real updates save for some insight into their culture. I would have rather waited for a longer more complete book than to have had read this now.

too much and not enough

a long poem, the author is a master of words. The issue is that it gets in the way of progression. I could have skipped the book and would likely only be confused by a minor degree should the next book come out.

I love this series

this is a great cultivation series, once again we follow our FMC into a battle of social prowess and some physical altercations. she takes some losses but all in all she is setting her self and her companions up for success in the near future. if you are new to the series you have found gold. start at book one and know while it is similar to other cultivation stories it's world building will still suck you right in. the performance is amazing as well. this book feels like it is laying the foundation for the rest of the story. It is full of choices and moves that feel important to the story to come. can't wait for the next in the series.

Lin Cheng is always getting into trouble

The love how trouble and fortune seem to be Cheng destiny. She is just one step away from the next problem and or triumph Natalie is a great story teller.

Love the series!

Well written and performed. A good blend of the interpersonal and interspiritual(?) with a solid character base. Looking forward the next in the series!

Shattering the stale and stagnant mold once more!!

Lol sometimes when i reach the end of a Destiny Cycle book, I am filled with rage. Rage at how good progression fantasy could truly be if people would just STOP pumping out ill thought out murder hobo's wrapped in cloying blankets of anime troupes and rather gross sexual fetishes. Yrsillar shows that once you step from that mold and truly apply yourself to the craft of writing this genre is filled with staggering and beautiful possibility. Hell there was very little fighting in this book and it still had me on edge of my seat with every word. It explores so many refreshingly new, interesting, and compelling themes that are never even touched by the usual "authors" of this genre. Sigh, most of them actively avoid even the shadow of what Yrsillar explores. The stakes in this series feel so much more grand and daunting than any other book i have ever listened to in this genre. It's almost like a cultivator style Game of Thrones. It is so damn GOOD!!!!

Just gets better

Progression fantasy is tough to write, this series keeps delivering on many fronts for the MC and side characters.

Disappointed

This book was boring compared to the earlier books in the series and it will be the last one I’ll buy.

Mostly filler

Too much introspection and seems more of a filler. Boring read, and worst book to date.
