Jofis is dead. Manos has joined the rebellion.

But as the Executioner and the leader of the Deathsquad Hunters, it is hard for him to earn the trust of the rest of the rebellion. So Salvos brings Manos with her to take down Chordus and the rest of the remaining legions of the Demon King's forces in the Expanse to prove that he is trustworthy. However, can he truly be trusted?

Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm, the Centinel invasion of Mavos Academy continues as both Rachel and Edithe try to find a solution in their own ways. Unfortunately, stopping the Matriarch Centinel of the Bloodied Gulf will prove to be more difficult than they thought...

Holy plot armor

I love these books, and it was good until the final fight. I mean when a fight, that's not even the final boss, lasts over an hour, and it continously learns a new "grand skill" everytime it's starting to lose, it's a bit ridiculous.

This isn't a story.

This isn't a story. This isn't even a complete arc of a story. This is two combat encounters and two tiny segments of exposition with a lot of padding for length.

Tess Irondale's performance was amazing as always. Her voice work is what keeps me coming back for the audio versions of this series.

I like the Salvos series, but the quality of the writing has gone down considerably over time. I don't know if Melas has had some personal issues that he's dealing with that is taking up more of his time and is still trying to crank out chapters at the same place that he used to or what, but the past couple books should not have gone to publishing in the state they're in. The earlier books were stand alone story arcs with full, self contained plotlines with a setup, exposition, climax, and resolution. This book is not that. This is a direct continuation of the previous book, which also was not a complete plotline. There is a brief amount of exposition, and then an extra long fight scene occurs at the academy in two segments, directly continuing the conflict from the previous book. Salvos's character sheet is repeated several times, presumably to pad time. Then there is a shorter fight scene in the Netherworld and Salvos's character sheet is repeated several more times. Numbers go up. Plot is not resolved. The ending is a literal chapter cliffhanger.

I'm going to continue the series, but I'm probably going to be increasingly more disappointed with it.

Worth the listen but

I enjoyed it, and it's a nice continuation, and even given how short it is, it accomplished a decent amount, though I wish we got to see more of what Danial was up to. I appreciate the kind of cliff notes at the end for him, but still, instead of 30 minutes of status description or somewhat overly drawn-out fights, I want to see Danial.

not even good enough to be filter

you can summarize this book with 1 paragraph. it's basically 2 boss fights and that's it. I wish we had more or that this book was longer or something. you can skip this book since I'm sure it will be summarize in the next one.
main points of this book
Sally is dead, arch angel is an ally now, salvos beat a boss. that's it

Filler

10-20min. of plot movement at best. Dialogue repeated over and over. Fight scenes written like there's a mandatory word count to meet. "But wait there not dead yet" over and over and over again. This story is also half as long as the shortest in the collection and not worth the work, how little work there is, that this author put into it. Dropping this author like a bad habit. If the author wasn't into it they should have ended it when Salvo's went back to the nether realm and been done with it.
