The Path of Ascension 9

A LitRPG Adventure

De: C. Mantis

Narrado por: J.S. Arquin

With Light and Shadow completing the Path of Ascension, three foreign Great Powers equal to the Empire in power have declared war. Thankfully they aren't alone but with only one ally in their corner their best hope is to fight for a close loss. That is unless they can produce another miracle Ascender in time to turn the tides of war.

Can Matt, Liz, and Aster do what it takes to reach Tier 25 and finish the Path in time? Will it be enough?

Don't miss Book 9 of this action-packed fantasy adventure that blends everything you love about LitRPG with Xianxia.

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

So Dam Good

This series has quietly become one of my favorites, and this book provided everything I wanted at this penultimate point in the story. Well done and thank you for delivering perfection.

The Ending

There was many slow spots and time skips during this entry in the series but listen to the ending. Made it all worth it. Cannot wait for book 10 to come out sometime this fall.

this book has so much information to process!

I love this book. there is so much to love about the story, that there is so much to remember in details that it seems like you'll never remember everything, but you will enjoy it despite not keeping up with every single sentence!

MORE Please!

Love this whole series and have re-listened to it three times by now at least from start to finish.

Great!

One of my favorite books in a while! It progressed quickly while still providing all the things I love about the series.

Aster got renamed?

I got hooked on this series since Matt found out that he had a detrimental skill. Since then I have followed the series every time the new book comes out in audio I get the latest copy. I have waited for a while to get this copy and the only thing that I can't get behind is Aster was somehow renamed scoot. I don't know if its a second name for the alter ego or what's happened with her name.
Though im still in the middle of listening to it for the first time and if I remember to I will update this if I figure out what happened.

good listen

I found this book to be a fun listen, so far it's been an entertaining story

More of the good stuff

This series keeps delivering on its promises. There are few series in prog lit that can compete with PoA on the follow through on both foreshadowing and the long term importance of a large cast of characters.

A few inconsistencies or bad wording

I really like the book. But at one point it says they tier up, and then says that someone that is two tiers below them is only a teir below them. At another point it says that a character has an image but then says they claimed there anchor instead of there image, but then goes to says that they still have there anchor to claim. Again, I did enjoy the book, but these things popped out to me. I went back over those parts to see if I misunderstood, but it doesn't seem that way. So it has those two inconveniences or bad wordings that I found.

an overall great conclusion

I enjoyed this series completion better than most. There were only a few minor bulls in the otherwise great conclusion.
