Extending a good series

I enjoy this adventure. I appreciate an MC who can actually make decisions right away and not him-haw around. I do wish that the big fights were more detailed. there is big lead up to the fight and then bam, big bad guy is dead. I get that this book was probably more to progress the story and a lot did happen. but still.

I'm sorry but this new voice actor is bad. there is not a lot of inflection and ALL the characters sound almost the exact same. can't tell sex of character, and most of them are some version of a Bronx new York accent. I loved the VA from the first FOUR books. then without warning we get this awful change. I really like the story but damn is it hard to listen to when I can't keep track of who is talking because all of them sound like the same male character voice with slightly different new York accents.

Way TOO sexual

I'll be honest and say that I don't read/listen to many books where the MC is female, the author is female, and the narrator is female. I read the description of the book and figured there was going to be some romantic tension in this war time story. But...damn... It is way to graphic ALL the time. Especially in the last 5 hours of the book when relationships take off. I really enjoyed the magic system and the story overall, but the constant graphical sexual talk was too much. I can't continue the series.

I like that the story follows a sect instead of a wildly over Powered MC who just randomly interacts with a sect and moves on. slightly more of a humble roots beginning. Curious to see where this story goes, I'll be buying the second book as soon as it's available.

wasn't sure about the "deck building" mechanic at first but I actually really like this form of magic. The MC is just the right balance of determined,unsure,personable, and creative.

I loved the whole series, every book. I have re listened to every book so far and will again. the characters are inspiring and Travis Baldree is one of my few favorite narrators. If Will ever deems it, I will be one of the first to buy the entire series in leather-bound hard back.

very good book, I finished it too quickly though and now I'll have to wait for who knows how long for my next fix.

I liked that each story was from a different point of view. But the reading was a bit slow and cumbersome so turning the playback speed to 1.2x helped a LOT.

the content is great but the narrator is tough to listen to for long. by speeding up playback to 1.2x or 1.3x it is much smoother and easier to listen to. CANT WAIT FOR ARC 3 IN SEPTEMBER

the overall story is ok but the indecisive MC is an idiot who constantly makes terrible choices and somehow ends up with usually good outcomes.
