An end of the world. The start of a new one. A thousand places to be.
Books four through six in the Artorian's Archives series.
Artorian has survived his encounter at the Ziggurat, but at a sharp cost. However, the powers in the world are moving and there is no time to rest. Even if Artorian doesn’t realize his part in it, the next stage of the great plan is set in motion.
In a place of mountains and dales, the old scholar must seek new information in order to puzzle out the last pieces and gather victory with his own two hands. For his loved ones, his humanity may need to be left behind. Yet, becoming something else is a small price to pay for an old man on a mission. Life comes at a price, but success comes with Ascension.
War and Moonfall loom on the horizon. It matters little. Artorian will build his arsenal.

story got old, lots of time explaining the system, boring

Now, while I appreciate the combining of the two sets of books I really feel like book 4 concluded too many plots in an anticlimactic way. I am curious to see where this series goes from here but I'm going to be optimistically cautious from here on out. Though I would like to say Dakota, please stop making your characters so clueless.

- Excellent narration by Travis Baldre
- The MC, along with many of the supporting characters, are likable and entertaining.
- The story is entertaining, featuring humor and plenty of action.
Where I think the story falls short.
- Pacing issues throughout the series. I felt the story dragged at times.
- While I did not know what was happening, I understood the first three books, what the characters were doing, and where they were going. In books 3 -6, the reader is just along for the ride with no idea where the author might take them next.
Overall, 3.25 stars, rounded down to 3 stars. Not sure if I want to read more.
Series is starting to wander

With this book it was hard to care for any of the characters. The author is currently using a, tell don't show, philosophy which makes the book feel like everything is happening in past tense. It gives the reader the feeling that there isn't really any danger.
There were no meaningful consequences at any time in the book. Let me explain under spoilers.
*May have Spoilers*
The closest that we got to consequences in this book was time skipping. Except that the time skipping had no meaningful impact on the main character. Or any of the other characters. It could have been something serious and painful to the characters but much like the book itself they simply meandered through the changes.
There were a lot of plot points that made no sense and didn't fit with the main character's personality or values.
Why in the world would the "avatar of love" take away the decision to be in the world from his family? New races spring up out of no where but Artorian's family have to stay in stasis. Hundreds of years pass and Artorian has no trouble robbing them of those years. He makes all of the decisions for them and I'm sure when they wake they won't care. Because his judgement is perfect.
The other main point of contention is that the author does not show, he simply tells you how the characters are feeling. It creates a boring book with minimal stakes. "Artorian felt sad" could be replaced with showing us that he feels sad with his actions. Doing something bad or silly with ACTUAL consequences. But it so rarely happened in the 39 hours I listened to this book that the book itself was boring. I think the dark elves were one of the few parts where we felt anything and it was barely.
I was seriously disappointed and hope that in the future, you work on showing more and telling less. Use other characters to tell him he's acting a certain way and have them be wrong sometimes.
Also, the side characters were clearly only here to drive the plot forward. They barely had motivations of their own.
For the author
I recommend studying Pirate Aba to learn how to create compelling side characters. She will get you invested in those characters and caring about them. Watch how she shows and what she tells. I think your writing would benefit so much.
Thank you for writing the book and I hope the next ones are better!
Disappointing - It's okay to skip
