Publisher's summary

Sometimes the only way to go forward is to go back....

Progen defeated the Parasyte that was engineered by the malevolent Blood Curse, but there is still a lot that the dungeon crystal needs to do to fully control his entire dungeon. While he actively works to finish controlling the rest of the body that hosts his presence, there lies one major obstacle to the culmination of his plans: the brain. The Blood Curse has locked itself away behind a barrier that keeps Progen from spreading his influence inside, while also preventing the Curse from manipulating anything outside of its hiding place. The dungeon crystal is thus stymied in his efforts toward complete control; but fortunately, Progen has gained access to new immune cells and systems that he can use to improve his host’s body – and thereby, his own survivability.

Meanwhile, when the dastardly Ghevin Drestice’s devastating use of the mind-control abilities of a strange crystal finally catalyzes interest in Marstin from the highest authority in Istut, the young thief-turned-adventurer is thrust back into the spotlight. Now he has to navigate his way through a brand-new world of political intrigue, secret organizations, and high society, all while struggling with the burgeoning power that has recently been unlocked inside of him.

While Progen fights against the immutable barrier around the brain and the Blood Curse, Marstin fights to survive this world into which he has inextricably been thrown. Both will face challenges that should end with their deaths, and only through unwitting cooperation will they see themselves through.

But will that be enough to survive against the Blood Curse’s temptations of power and its inevitable emergence from its magically-imposed exile?

Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements, such as character progression, statistics, and resource management. Also contains an in-depth, science-based portrayal of how the immune system responds to foreign pathogens via different white blood cells and other microscopic protectors, complete with a glossary of medical terms (factual and fictional). No harems, sexual content, or foul language.

Fantastic ending

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book. ~

If you liked the first two books, you’ll be happy with this book. Honestly, probably the best book in the trilogy.

Secrets are revealed, both our MCs have growth in gifts, political intrigue and an excellent ending make this a fun listen/read.

It is nice to read a completed series. Too often, I pick up a series and then it appears to be dropped by the author or that the author is just going to continue it indefinitely. So, it was nice to read a story wrapped up. Although, there is more story that I’d love to get a chance to read.

Great close to the story

This was a great ending to the series. The narrateor did a good job as well.

Running out of material

Very little of this book was actually devoted to the biodungeon. I think the writers are running out of ideas. But the body isnt quite complex enough for a full trilogy it seems.

...Pseudo Chrystal, really?

That was weak sauce. ten words is kind of dumb and annoying. Stop it.

Surprising

I really write reviews but this particular series caught me by surprise how much I really enjoyed it and the educational part was very insightful to say the least I think I definitely will be recommending this book or even have my kid listen to it knowledge is power and " POWER IS BIO DUNGEON"

great finish

loved the whole series. I hope there is more to come in this world

Best in the series

At nearly 20 hours, this is the beefiest in the series. it remained exciting the whole way through. The authors masterfully wove together two separate perspectives. Even though the series is nicely wrapped up, there is still room for another book.

Great ending, or is it?

This was a great ending to the trilogy, but the end gave an opening for another story. I will have to see if it is written yet.

hmm

is this the last of the series or was that ending to set up for the next one?
I wonder is this its own universe or does it tie into one of the other book series?
given how long the medical glossary is at the end I'm assuming one of the writers or maybe both of them studied fair amount of medicine at some point or they know someone or they Googled it.

Hit its stride

This series has gotten better with each book. I really enjoy getting both an internal and external view of our protagonist. Great job.
