Publisher's summary

Elaine's mission through the fairy ring went horribly wrong, and she finds herself in Pallos once again—over 20,000 years in the future.

All she has are her friends, her magic, and the clothes on her back. Fighting their way out of the wilderness, they quickly meet Iona, a wandering paladin of the Valkyrie order.

She's heading to the School of Sorcery and Spellcraft, and Elaine joins her: To learn wizardry. To figure out her place in the world and where she wants to go next. To get her third class. To kiss cute women. To eat some tasty mangos. To read books, at long last.

New Beginnings

Elaine's life has been incredible so far, but it's going to be hard topping her current situation outside of hitting the level cap. The story continues to be excellent and I am incredibly happy to see divine intervention in her relationships.

A satisfying book

Honestly this book is amazing and leaves me excited for the next installment! Can't wait!

Exceeded my expectations!

With the way the last book ended I was scared the author had lost their marbles. Instead I was pleasantly surprised to find a better book than several of the previous.

Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Well done Selkie! Well done!

Almost a new series

I’m still liking the series even though it jumped thousands of years into the future.

It is almost a new start to a series, but I like that it’s still counted as the original series as that make it easier to keep organised ;)

It is quite fun to see where Elains previous superiority in healing is now showing gaps and areas with no skill due to progress made in the interim years while she was in Faerie.

Waiting for book 8 to be released in 5 days now.

Feels like a new game

Imagine having a max out character in insert (video game name here), and then you hear news of (insert video game name here) 2 comes out. You buy the game but somehow lose all the power you had in the previous game. Thats how this book feels. Don’t misunderstand the book is still good and has some play on the previous books and I am looking forward to more to come.

Great listen!

Loved it, just wished they skipped over the character building. It was like 15 chapters of them just developing her. Hopefully the next book is fast pace and gets with knight.

The Inevitable School Arc is Upon Us

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the sad news of a school arc. Yes, that most insidious of manga/anime/light novel culture has reared its ugly head once again. OK, to be serious and honest, it isn't all that bad. I was actually fine with it. There isn't much of the teen social drama you normally get with this type of arc, so that is a blessing. Essentially, this book is an info dump by the author to get us used to the new world Elaine is in without spending several books on it. It is also a chance for Elaine to improve herself, both mentally and physically. There are surely some aspects to the book that one or another person might not like, but on the whole I think it is worth a listen. I'm looking forward to the next book where the story truly starts to move again.

Series 2

A decent restart of the adventure with a few points for future arcs and a 5 year training montage

A lovely listen

We get to see a whole new side to our main character, how she handles a peaceful life. Her experiences in school, her desire for all the knowledge yet having to temper that with a work-school-social balance. Loved the performance, as I've come to expect.

The real icing on the cake is since I've read the books that are farther along, seeing all the set up and foreshadowing. Some is subtle enough that I don't remember when I read it to when it happens so re experiencing the book brings an extra appreciation to the story Selkie writes.

Can't wait for more of everything!

Another good book for the series

This was a good book that
was written in the same line as the others have the series. The only thing I didn’t like was some of the TDS parts of some end chapters. It did clean up in the end, and made it, so I really wanted to to hear the next book.
