About this listen

University was supposed to be a time of exploration, of learning, and new discoveries...

I probably should have guessed that my problems weren't just going to vanish because I was feeling optimistic.

The Fairy peoples have cut themselves off, taking important parts of me with them. A new threat emerges, wrapped in a righteousness that serves only to conceal a dreadful rot.

Demons start to circle, Black Magic grows in power and influence, and my old enemies are starting to band together in the service of a new darkness.

If you think all that's not enough to be going on with, an old flame turns up just to make sure that it all hurts as much as possible.

It's going to take luck, cunning, and a colossal bagful of dirty tricks to get out of this one intact, and I'm pretty sure I spent all my luck the last time something tried to eat me...

Oh well, let's give it the old college try.

Still great. Hoping for continued growth

Still love it. And it threads the line of wholesome and kinda horrific really well. Still...I'm really starting to tire of the MC being as platonic and childish about certain things. It's time for more growth on that front, I'd say.

MC is a simpering punching bag.

Bit of a long short one here. As always the the narration was great. HARD STOP. I had listen on 2x because it's just the same loop as the last book. Fake morals, incessant flirting, hospital visits from easily avoided injuries all so that he can be doted on over and over again. Now you would think that the ingenuity, care and planning he demonstrated in the first book would deepen as he grows into his power and gains experience from several life and death experiences. Instead you have someone so flooded with hormones and disney princess logic that he constantly turns his back on people who's whole MO is to literally stab him specifically in. the. back.
I don't know what happened to the shadows instinctively protecting him from the first book because as of right now he has ZERO automated defenses magical or otherwise and it shows every chance it gets.
Unfortunately I'll be dropping this audio and just skimming the kindle books for the key notes. Unless the MC gets castrated for his own good or learns how to stop letting his weakness be his main attribute that is where I stand.
