Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Can't wait for the next one...
My only complaint about the first book was the author's reliance on repeated miscommunications to move the plot. I was a bit wary when I spent the credit on this book as I was totally fed up with the "if they'd only told him the truth" device that was used to create the major character conflicts in the first installment.
I'm happy to say that this book was much better in that regard. If you are on the fence about continuing the story I whole-heartedly recommend that you invest the credit.

Cut the boy some slack
I’ve fallen in love with this series. And for a while I couldn’t figure out why. Was it the story? The story is decent but the motions are predictable to someone who knows the flow of novels such as these. Is it the magic? While interesting the magic is mostly soft and is based on feelings, and needs of the character. Was it the Characters? Most of them are archetypical: The young ruler hoping to prove oneself, the wise and world weary mage, and the kind hearted protagonist.
Then it hit me. The thing that made me fall in love with the series is its sincerity. Everyone is acting completely rational and towards what they think is best, either for themselves or others. And that often leads to the tragedies the characters suffer through. In fantasy it is often that good natured characters do so simply because they were written in one shade of ink. They do because they are. But the main character acts the way he does almost out of misplaced guilt and honest thanks for all those around him. Which is what leads to the heart reaching points when that faith and trust is abused and life continues to beat him when he is down. I listened to the 2 books out because I as the reader, know that the protagonist deserves better and I want the best for him. I could care less if the army of darkness takes over the whole world, all I want in that universe is for the protagonist to be treated the way I know he deserves to be.
Tim Geared Reynolds is one of my favorite narrators on the site (I recommend his performances in Dawn of Wonder, and the Riyria books).

Filler
Nothing happens. Nothing important. We could have skipped almost 98% of it and moved to the next book. The characters didn't grow in any meaningful way either. It just feels cheap, more content, but lower quality. Hope this was a fluke.

Alanson's first miss with me.
First the good. I like the world and the color added to it. Although rather small overall, there were a few nice moments... but...
This was a hard listen. It is a bridge book where so little happens that in another book would be covered in a couple chapters.
There were times I honestly wondered if Craig is getting paid by the word. Almost every detail is repeated so many times. Since most everything isn't actual plot advances, it gets crazy dull fast.
All the characters loose IQ in this book, not that book 1 gifted them with great intelligence, but the story was a good setup with room to grow.
Quite frankly, I feel confident that you will be able to move straight to book 3 when released and miss nothing important that won't be repeated twelve times in the first couple chapters of book 3.
I've liked all of Alanson's other books and provided solid reviews. and this is a rare bad review from me. The only two things that happen of any real plot are greatly telegraphed and obvious from book 1. These plot advances should have happened in book 1 then ended for a sequel.
I'm hoping for reparations to his fans by a solid book 3.

Fun Story - Sadly overly simplistic
Tim Reynolds brings this series to life like no other - I feel almost as if I’m next to the characters as he weaves the characters and narrative together. Unfortunately, multiple aspects are overly simplistic or repetitive - the impression I’m left with is that maybe Mr. Alanson is focusing on a young / newer reader audience. Protagonists represent / Work for a force constantly referred to as merely “the enemy”, reasoning is routinely explained down to a seemingly middle school level, character development is sadly shallow. Wish this was more along the lines of Ken Follet or Tolkien.

Anticlimax
If I had to describe the trilogy in one word it would be 'anticlimax'. I felt the first two books and much of the third were constructing an interesting story, and nearing the end of the 3rd book I was wondering what the next book would bring. But then, in a few chapters, the story suddenly came to an end in an utterly disappointing way, almost as if the author couldn't be bothered to continue the story.
I read other reviews on the first and second book and saw some people described them (especially the second one) as page fillers. At the time, however, I thought the author was creating an extensive world and story. I was wrong. When I finished the final book, I realised most of the first and third book as well as the entire second book, are completely irrelevant to the overall story arch.
I endured what I thought to be minor imperfections in the first and second book (mistakes, needless repetition, slow pace, derivative naming of places and characters) because I felt the story had potential, instead I should have realised they where symptoms of something more problematic, an author who only half heartedly threw together a fantasy story.
*SPOILERS*
Koren takes two books to realise he is a wizard, and then in the third book he receives no training whatsoever before beating the demon in a way that could have happened at the end of book 1.

Good sequel
It’s a good sequel, the plot moves well. It’s a bit of a slow placed story than the first. However there is more battles. So if you prefer that over tea and cake with the princess it’s got that going for it.
Side note. The author needs to make it clear what a wizard can/can’t do. I feel like my knowledge of it is as good as Koren’s. which basically is just a load of misconceptions. Which would be fine however we deal with other major characters. Suck as highly skilled wizards and this book keeps throwing need conception and new abilities. Which i thought a wizard in this book can’t do.
Also wizards are op as hell. The only reason normal people fight in this book is due to the lack of wizards.

Weak story and characters.
The story telling in this series is much weaker than the Expeditionary Force series. It feels like it’s written for younger readers, but I would say that discerning younger readers would question the plot and character development as much as anyone else.

Great ideas, though events take too long.
Great performance by Tim, the story shows a lot of promise, but as this is the 2nd book and the main story arc, only shows real progression in the 2nd half of this book. I cant help but feel like it is quite a slow burn for an adventure series and it lost my attention more than once. Great premise and presented well, but slow pace with a focus on seemingly superfluous conversations and opinions of some characters with characters behaving not in accordance with their presented natures in parts. Undecided on whether I will purchase the 3rd book. Hope to see more from this author but with a more concise story arc and better developed characters.

A surprise
I listened to this series because I have absolutely loved the expeditionary force series. I didn't expect too much from this series, anticipating that Craig Alanson might not be as good at writing fantasy as he is with science fiction. However, in the end I loved this 3 book series and was disappointed when it was over.

Great follow on from Ascendant
I loved this book. It was well narated and interesting. These three books are a bit of a change from Craig Alanson's previous books.

To sum up in two words: "simply brilliant". Even better than the first book in the series. And exceedingly well performed. Will be moving straight on to book three.

Mostly Padding
I went into the book with a little scepticism since the first book was very by the numbers in what it was doing, Transcendent though sort of just decides to change most of the more 2D characters around and their motivations and personality just changes. I tried to like the book and hoped that it would actually get somewhere but what takes a third or even half of another book is instead pushed out to a full book and only at the end do they decide to get the ball rolling again when it comes to progression.
The book also does something which if my eyes had rolled any harder would have knocked me unconscious. They defeat an army, they then defeat another one then guess what. There is a third army which is suppose to dwarf the previous one that they defeated.
