Darkness seeps deeper into the world. The gods can only watch from afar. Time is running out. Jim and his friends found a way to stop the evil infesting the leadership of the Empire, but the shadows of the world are not all cast by the demon incursion. There's plenty of darkness already dwelling within the corrupted heart of the Empire. One of the team goes missing, and Jim has to find them before it’s too late. They'll have to find a way to come together, or risk the Empire sinking completely into the darkness.

In the years since Lindon left Sacred Valley, he has attained power beyond anything his family thought possible. Now he’ll have to put those powers to the test, because a Dreadgod is on its way. Lindon and his allies set out to evacuate the valley before the arrival of the Wandering Titan, but their sacred arts are weakened by an ancient curse. They’ll have to persuade the squabbling inhabitants of Sacred Valley to leave behind their home and set off into the outside world. But it has been a long time since Lindon left, and more has changed than he realized.

With marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm. He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within.

Those who follow the noble art of cultivation know that there's no place for evil in their craft. All that matters is reaching the Heavens, but to do that, one must unlock their Force. The Fallen Star Sect's expedition to the mysterious cave ended in tragedy. Hundreds of their most talented students lost their lives in the dark tunnels. No less horrible was the fate of those who had found themselves at the imperial palace at the time. Nobody could've predicted such a turn of events.

Joe takes his first step into exile, and is promptly unable to breathe. This new Zone has a higher concentration of power, magnitudes denser. His first task is to survive, but mere survival is the least of his concerns. The Zone he has landed on has been in a state of constant war for thousands of years, a tug of war between the Elven and Dwarven societies. Not choosing a side is the same as declaring both to be your personal enemy. Though he is resistant, Joe reluctantly decides to go with the group he thinks will help him grow the most.

Those in power do not believe in the possibility of triumph against the will of the gods, and instead squander their time and effort in indulging their needs and desires as the world quickly rots away around them. Mankind’s only hope rests on the shoulders of a man they hate the most. A man who has taken every possible measure, both accepted and forbidden, to attain power. Sungchul Kim, the man who reached the pinnacle of strength, now stands alone against the Calamities. Not because he is a hero, but because of a promise.

I died, but this wasn't what I'd expected to find when they said I'd meet my maker. The afterlife is just like a video game, except I didn't start in a noob world like everybody else. I started out on one of the most challenging dungeon worlds meant only for ancient souls who've been dead much longer than I have.... Welcome to Epoc.

Out of character BS
A bit of a spoiler that has NOTHING to do with the story and should just be removed.
Serious, smart, and practical MC letting an unusually smart and malicious horse constantly try to kill his cousin because... the author thinks it’s funny. It was idiotic and pulled you out of the story. It kicks him IN THE HEAD completely intentionally so hard he lisps for a month. This is after it attacks him a bunch. Made the whole group seem stupid. Not haha silly, just stupid.

Moves the story forward nicely
Jim and his fellowship move forward to warn the kingdoms of the coming of the nox incursion while encountering various challenges along the way. I particularly liked the part where Michael Head had the king attempt to throw Jim under the bus after Jim actually saved his life. It was an unexpected interesting bit of intrigue. Another interesting part is where one of the likable key fellowship characters is sidelined due to a near death encounter that partially ruined his core. This type of loss makes the story more realistic and leaves me wanting to continue a series to see how it unfolds going forward.
Have I mentioned how gifted Travis Baldree is as a narrator? Why, yes, yes I have. However, in this situation it bares repeating.

Good book, can't wait for more
Another great book. Both the story and character development in this one are good. They are progressing in a darker direction but for a reason, it doesn't feel tacked on. The naive and light hearted nature of the main character and the comedic moments really take the pressure off the reader though so you don't feel dragged down by it.
A bit shorter than the previous book and events progressed pretty rapidly, skipping a bunch of time so it felt even shorter than it was.
Looking forward to Ocean of Tears.
