About this listen

It’s been four years since Keiran learned the truth of what happened to his world.

Four years of research and marshaling his resources, four years of experimentation in a futile attempt to recover a faint echo of all that has been lost. His refuge has grown in size and population, and he’s begun to spread knowledge of the old ways of magic in an attempt to revive the lost art to humanity.

There are no more answers to be found at home, and it’s time Keiran sees what’s out there with his own eyes. Armed with more mana than ever, he leaves his sanctuary to explore what’s left of the old kingdoms of the world and plumb their depths for lost secrets.

What he finds is a civilization wrapped up in mysteries and lies, ones that could threaten to break the world a second time.

Keiran will have to untangle it all before it’s too late.

Idk why the last 1.5 hours was a different book but that was just disappointing. This series is decent though. The combat and action isn't the best but the mysteries, world and way the story is told have got my attention. The family dynamics and sister bring things down a bit but it's not a constant aspect or the story. The story flows nicely and there are things constantly happening with few distractions from the main story line. Many mysteries and questions I've felt that i wouldn't get an answer for until the end or even next book but the writer delivers and then hangs another apple out there that looks just as delicious. I'll be looking for the next book.

Interesting

His sister is literally the worst... She needs to Exit stage left. Her character brings you out of the story as soon as she starts speaking. A whiny little brat that never grows into any semblance of maturity. Kill her off and give the protagonist something to fight for...

Ugh...

A thrilling and engaging read that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The story offers a captivating mix of buildup, exploration, and mystery, with plenty of new and powerful challenges for the main character to overcome. The author has done a fantastic job of setting the stage for future events, leaving readers eager to see how everything unfolds in the next installment.

However, despite my love for the series, there is one downside: the older sister character has become quite tiresome and frustrating. Her presence detracts from the story to the point where I almost considered skimming through her sections. That said, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise fantastic series, and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Solid addition with one caveat

Good

Again I really enjoyed the third book in this series. While there are some things I’m not a huge fan of mainly with the timeline at which future progression will seem to take place I’ll still be tuning in for book 4.

It seems like the author is learning and evolving, while there were some flaws that popped up in book 2 they are absent in book 3 so I’m hopeful that the author will also reevaluate what did and didn’t work in this book and adjust accordingly moving forward.

Either way I’ll be there day one to pick it up and devour it equally as quickly. Much much better than his other series, highly recommend.

Another Thorough Enjoyment

After two books the mc finally has some world building and a threat. I will sample the the next book to see if it’s worth keeping with the series

Finally some spice

it wasn't just one linear plot, there are a multitude sub plots that tie into the main that keep it a very entertaining read

the unique world concept was very fun to explore.

The main criticisms of this book seem superficial at best and a bit like they were annoyed some mentoring of his sister was involved and that’s about it, really enjoyed the book

Not enough credit given

Good: Got a new nemesis for the MC.

Bad: the book is 1,5 hours shorter than it says, since it includes "free first chapters drom other book/s"

Absolutely Hate when the book ends 1,5 hours before it says it ends when you buy it.

Good book

without major spoilers, most of the book was great! other than him progressing way to fast for my tastes. what got my goat might not get yours, but it basically boils down to the MC getting an arch nemesis big bad that is just as if not more powerful than him. while I don't mind that by itself, it's fundamentaly changed the structure of the story I tuned in to hear, that of a very knowledgeable skilled mage slowly rebuilding his power and expanding his influence. I'm afraid that the next books will simply devolve into an all encompassing war and a race against time as he gets more powerful while constantly dogged by the ungodly strong forces of his foe, and that's just something I'm not into

good until near the end, might drop now.
