Publisher's summary

Heretic. Heathen. Demon.

The company war between the Valiant Dreamers and the Iron Champions continues. But these Human matters don't matter to Salvos. She takes off to with her companions to the Plaguelands, in hopes to level from the undead, speak with Kobolds, and maybe befriend a Lich!

...The last bit may be a little bit difficult. But she is Salvos. She will not give up so easily. She will evolve. She will fight with her companions. And she will grow stronger.

My favorite so far!

The story of the Lich and the final battle were simply great, I even feel sorry for the Lich/former hero

Make Skeleton Archer a recurring character.

My joy when Skeleton Archer appeared was insurmountable.
As such, I do believe Skeleton Archer should and be a recurring character and deserves the right to being a god level creature. Salvos is truly lucky to have been graced by the everpowerful presence of Skeleton Archer.
The lame Skeleton Warriors don't even stand a chance against the overpowering might of Skeleton Archer.
Again, Skeleton Archer would be a valuable asset and amazingly powerful character to the point that it's comical, and would be criminal to not add to the main story. Skeleton Archer is heavily underrated and I do believe there was not enough Skeleton Archer "screen time".
I rest my case, Skeleton Archer destroyes The Lich with no difficulty.

Three for three!

The third book on the story of Salvos has been just as fun to listen to as the first two!

Another book I couldn't stop listening too!

Again I'm very glad I gave this series a chance, great story and narration

good book

I really hate the minimum word count requirements for audible reviews. . . .

Mostly a setup volume

The addition of gaiden to pad out the novel in between significant segments more closely aligns this volume with light novels as a literary category.

The story is good, though some of the character development feels forced. Overall the novel feels like a wrap-it-up of several short stories that could have been entire books unto themselves to get to a bridge to the next major "arc" for the sake of progressing the planned storyline. A missed opportunity, but still fleshed out enough that it doesn't feel like the reader is cheated.

The voice acting is still spot on for the character, though at this point I assume we just have to live with certain words being consistently, jarringly mispronounced. Thankfully most of those words seem to be rearview from a story perspective, and as a result are less likely to crop up in future content.

Training montage

This book is mostly what happens when you get to see the time skip instead of coming back when it's done, great set up for the next book

I just can't anymore

Salvos has a complete inability to grow as a character. It was fine when she was new to the human world, but now she just keeps acting the same as a OP 5year child. She enthusiastically makes the same mistakes over and over again with no real repercussions due to plot armor. This is all despite "Wisdom" remaining one of her highest stats.

At least for me, the frustration of her character has far exceeded the enjoyment I once had. If this isn't something that bothers you, then I wish you other listeners, the best of luck with this and future volumes.

Exciting LitRPG fun

Another installment in the adventures of Salvos the carefree yet competent demon and her companions. Enjoyable characters and action, a fun read.

Favorite so far

Best of the series so far for me. Action, adventure, great plot and a bit of humor.
