the development of the characters.

how pieces to the story lines start to come together, as well as character reveals.

Good but distracting audio issues

I’m satisfied with the continuation of the story and really looking forward to the next book. That being said, I do wish there was a character chart of some kind or a brief allegiances section read prior to the prologue. It may just be me, but with so many characters and outside elements involved at this point I’m starting to get some characters (as well as their goals) confused. As for the performance I’m mostly satisfied, but there were multiple times when I could hear the narrator’s phone(s?) vibrating which was very distracting. Plus I’m not sure what it’s called, but I really dislike the changes to narration that are made whenever a “demonic” voice is described or used. It’s nowhere near as often as in previous installments, but when used the words spoken are nearly unintelligible and I have to rewind multiple times to parse out the sentence.

a lot more action in this one

Sir Nate was busy in this one! lots of combat and surprises. new villians and old show themselves. oh, Wanda's great behind, this was a good listen!

Good follow-up to the last book

The male narrator may need a new mic, or tone down his volume when making overly loud noises like maniacal laughter, it was breaking up bad during those parts. Good follow up to the last book, though the MC still feels like he’s waffling again about getting stronger as if nearly being killed by a demon in the last book shouldn’t have nailed that home already, you have a family to protect…

Could have been shorter and better

Take out all the continued repeating of system messages and introspection and this is a lot shorter and better.
