About this listen

Tired of the necromancer threat, Regan increases efforts to deal with them at their heart of power in the north. Seemingly aware of his presence, the monster horde continues to grow until finally they charge the valley. Steel Spire, one of Regan's sub-core ends up attracting their attention. Will his new inventions be able to handle the mass of monsters?

Meanwhile, Louella has her own monster horde to deal with. Enlisting the aid of the adventurers that have come to her valley, she marshals a force to meet the horde on the battlefield. Pushing her own power to the limit to defend her new home, will she be able to answer the call to battle?

Consistent

This is the third book in the series. The storyline is picking up things are getting interesting! However, the character development is pretty good, but the description is still lackluster and leaves much to be desired.

Jumpy much?

I really like this book series but listening to this book was kind of hard because of the multiple different viewpoints. I really just want to listen to Reagan's point of view and that's it. out of all the 25 chapters only seven are from Reagan's point of view. that's less than half the book. I really hope the author's stops jumping around so much with his next book. The previous two books were better than this one.

Amazing series and top tier narration

I love the writing style of Matthew Peed, it keeps the story fresh and interesting and this whole series is a masterpiece. This is my third read through this series and it's always good

Why so short?

Loved the book. I highly suggest you give this series a try if you haven't already. For those of you returning to this series, I can say that this is a great addition to it.
My only gripe with this book is the multitude of points of view the book switches between. Don't get me wrong. I like to hear the story from different people but I feel like I barely got to hear anything from Regan! One of the things I loved about the first two books was the happenings in the dungeon and how Regan handled and changed things. This book there was barely any of that.
With that said I still recommend this book if you are interested in continuing the series. For those of you who are debating starting this series, I highly recommend giving it a shot and starting with Establish.

More Tell then Show

if you like Ready Player One, you'll probably like this series. Over all the auther tells you the story instead of showing effects, emotions and actions. All of that is just stated as if it was a weather forecast. This is a very high magic world and a lot of interesting world building is occurring in the process.

Choppy

I was completely lost on POV perspective in the first hour of the book due to the time skips and changing characters

New female narrator

There’s lots of war and battles in book 3. It’s not bad, but it would be more fun if more of the story focused on the dungeon and inventions for the city. Overall the story is progressing nicely and a bigger story is fleshing itself out nicely.

The replacement of the female narrator is an upgrade from the last books as she uses more emotion in the storytelling. However, I’m not a fan of her choice for the female lead as she went from friendly and approachable to aristocratic and arrogant in voice and delivery of lines. It feels like it changes the whole tone of her place in the book.
