De: Seth Ring

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

Just when John thinks things are finally calming down, the world never fails to throw a new twist his way.

And the latest one is deadly.

A distress call from Katrine has set John on a crash course with a band of vicious dimensional raiders led by a supreme mage who are already planning an invasion, while back home, the clock is ticking on the prophecy of the beast invasion that will wipe humans from the face of the world.

Worse still, John’s mana is growing stronger, forcing him to choose between sealing his mana away and becoming mortal, or destroying the world by his very presence. With the corrosive influence of the dragon, Farroutef, dogging his every step, he is forced to try and broker peace with the mages of New Dawn only to find himself trapped by the mysterious King of Beasts.

Forced into a prison of his own making, John’s options are limited, but luckily, he’s got great friends. Unwilling to leave him to his fate, Ellie decides it's time to step out and be the hero mounting a rescue attempt with Sigvald and Ferdie.

One of my favorite series

This series is growing to be one of my favorite series that I listen to. I have already pre-ordered the next book and can’t wait for her to come out.

Awesome!

I absolutely loved everything about this book. I am ready for more so bring it on.

Good series entry

Decent start, weak middle, strong ending.

At times in the middle of this story, this felt like it was going to be just a placeholder in the middle of the series. By the end, there had been good progress in the main story, good character development, and at least some world development.

Recommended.

Diminished but worth the credit

The final book of the series and it soon gives off the vibe that this is headed for end of the series. John's visit to the upper realm to save Katrine was interesting but somewhat formulaic in that while he should have been a low power person coming from a lower realm, he really is OP due to the "purity" of his mana. Still, it was an interesting side quest where he spent some time righting wrongs and effectively reached Super Sayian level of power on his return to his lower realm.

The story did spend too much time with John doing his introspective exposition which slowed the pace of the story and came across more as filler after awhile. The battles of the final two realm-ending boss-level antagonists were less epic and more tedious in nature.

I almost knocked it off one start when Ellie's first choice for "transformation" was a, uh, unicorn! but the author sagely decided NOT to go there. There was a sub-plot that was left hanging; that of the upper realm 9th tier sage plotting eventual revenge on John.

Michael Kramer's performance was well done.

In all, I still enjoyed the series.

The author tells a good story, but the audible brings it to life

M.K. does a spectacular job bring this story to life, he has phenomenal range to his voice and give each character a life of their own. Looking forward to the next one, keep up the great work
